Transaction History¶
The History screen shows all Zcash transactions associated with your wallet. Filter by type, read encrypted memos, and see which vault each deposit belongs to.
Filters¶
| Filter | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | Every transaction — sent, received, shielded |
| Vaults | Only transactions linked to a vault via ZV1 memo |
| Received | Incoming transactions |
| Sent | Outgoing transactions |
| Memos | Transactions that carry a non-empty encrypted memo |
What each transaction shows¶
- Date and time — when the transaction was confirmed on-chain
- Amount — in ZEC and your chosen fiat currency
- Direction — received (↓) or sent (↑)
- Address — counterparty address (or "shielded" if address is hidden)
- Memo — decrypted memo text, if present
- Vault — vault name if the transaction has a ZV1 memo
Memos¶
Shielded transactions can carry up to 512 bytes of encrypted text (ZIP-302). Memos are visible only to the recipient — they travel inside the shielded note and are decrypted when the wallet scans incoming blocks.
Common uses:
- Payment references (invoice numbers, order IDs)
- Personal notes between ZecVault users
- Vault labels (ZV1 memos, written by the app automatically)
Memos are shown inline in the transaction list. Tap any transaction to expand the full memo text.
Vault attribution¶
When an incoming transaction carries a ZV1:<vaultId>:<goalName> memo, the History screen shows the vault name next to that transaction. This is how you can audit which vault received which deposit without opening the Vaults screen.
Privacy note¶
Transaction history is reconstructed from the Zcash blockchain during sync. The amounts and memos you see are only visible to you — the chain records shielded transactions as encrypted blobs. Your transaction history is not exposed to lightwalletd or any third party.
Transparent transactions (sent to or from t1... addresses) are an exception: those are fully public on-chain, just like Bitcoin transactions.
