## What is Nighthawk Wallet?

Nighthawk no longer supports outgoing ZEC transactions, after the recent network upgrade. To access your funds, you will need to import your wallet seed to other dedicated Zcash wallets, such as Zashi or Zingo

https://z.cash/ecosystem/?wallets=#tag-wallets

As such, Nighthawk has effectively ended support for Zcash, and all users will need to back up and import their funds to another wallet if they haven't already done so.

We'll be around, with integrations perhaps for another chain in 2026. Thanks for all your support, and stay tuned!

As a non-custodial wallet, you have sole responsibility over its funds. Please immediately and securely back up the seed words upon creating a wallet.

As a light wallet, Nighthawk requires trust in the lightwalletd server to display accurate transaction information.

### 5/5 — Fast and lightweight

*2023-10-22*

Just downloaded the app. The UX is very easy and intuitive. Love that they’ve worked so close with Flexa to streamline adoption and privacy.

### 3/5 — Absolutely not acceptable

*2022-11-01, version 1.41*

Running this wallet will require to scan entire network. It will take you days to make your funds appear in the wallet, because the entire network needs to be scanned and validated before hand. Validation process is extremely slow. it doesn’t happen on the background so you will need the app always on. This is completely not user friendly, more, it even doesn’t mention anywhere. The developers clearly have no idea what means mobile app.

### 5/5 — 钱包不能正常使用

*2022-07-12*

钱包打开特别困难，昨天挂了一晚上才同步成功，但是发送币的时候提示错误，请教了内行，说有Bug，麻烦作者解决

### 5/5 — Simple UI

*2022-05-14, version 1.35*

Simple user interface and perfect for holding Zcash.

### 3/5 — Too Slow

*2022-02-11*

The downloading + scanning steps at startup take too long. Much longer than ZEC Wallet Lite. 

Don’t have the patience to use this.

### 5/5 — nighthawk wallet

*2020-12-31*

wish it had amounts in ZEC and dollars
otherwise works great
