If you hold Zcash in Zodl, one practical question is whether the server your wallet contacts can tie your IP address to the requests it sends. On November 9, 2026, at 22:54 (UTC+8), Foresight News reported that Zodl had posted it was launching its own wallet infrastructure and working with Cloudflare and Fastly to integrate the OHTTP protocol, in order to separate a user’s IP address from wallet request contents.
As described in that report, the wallet sends requests through an independent relay operated by Fastly or Cloudflare. The relay can see the user’s IP address but cannot see the encrypted request contents. Zodl processes the request but cannot see the user’s original IP. Previously, Foresight News noted, the operator of a light-wallet server that a Zcash wallet connected to could see both the IP address and the request information at the same time.
That is a split in who sees which part of the connection, not a claim that custody or recovery risk goes away. Request confidentiality is divided between the relay and Zodl; the report does not say this changes how reachable the service is, adds redundancy to a seed or other recovery material, hides every network trace, or protects keys. Updating an app also does not replace keeping recovery material under your own control.
Zodl said the new infrastructure would roll out gradually over the week following that announcement. The only check named in the report is to update to Zodl 3.20.0. Because the rollout was described as gradual, installing that version does not by itself show that a given request is already using the new path.
