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.
