1. Linux: Copy and paste your wallet.dat from ~/.zclassic/ to ~/.zen. That's it!

2. Windows: Copy and paste your wallet.dat from %APPDATA%/Zclassic/ to %APPDATA%/Zen. That's it!

Zen is a platform for secure communications and for deniable economic activity. Zen is an evolution of the Zclassic codebase aimed at primarily enabling intriniscally secure communications and resilient networking.

This software is the Zen client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zen transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.

See important security warnings in doc/security-warnings.md.

Zen is unfinished and highly experimental. Use at your own risk.

• The easiest way to get started is to download one of the available graphical wallets from zensystem.io

• Many guides and tutorials are available at ZenCashOfficial Discord for help and more information.

• Code review is welcome!

Participation in the Zen project is subject to a Code of Conduct.

Build Zen along with most dependencies from source by running ./zcutil/build.sh for Linux. ./zcutil/build-win.sh for Windows ./zcutil/build-mac.sh for MacOS.
