zecbox — One-Click Zcash Full Node

Don't Trust, Verify

Every component is open source. Every binary is verifiable. Here's exactly what runs on your machine and why you don't have to take our word for it.

100% Open Source

Every line of code is on GitHub. Rust backend, React frontend, config generators, build scripts — all of it. Fork it, audit it, build it yourself.

Verified Binaries

Every sidecar binary is SHA-256 verified before install. Failed hash means rejected, no exceptions. If a new binary fails health checks within 10 seconds, the previous version is automatically restored.

Zero Telemetry

No analytics. No tracking. No phoning home. Health checks are local JSON-RPC between processes on your machine. Update checks fetch a version manifest — nothing else leaves your computer.

Local-Only Operation

All config files generated locally, never exposed. Chain data, indexes, logs — everything stays in your data directory. No external servers beyond Zcash P2P peers and the update manifest.

Shield Mode Kill Switch

Route all traffic through Tor with one toggle. If Arti crashes while Shield Mode is active, zebrad stops immediately — no silent fallback to clearnet. Enforced at the OS level via macOS PF firewall rules.

Hardened Runtime

macOS notarized with hardened runtime entitlements. Signed DMG with SHA-256 checksums published alongside every release. Minimal permissions: network access only.
