ZExCavator is a tool that recovers (excavates!) lost ZEC. It builds on top of ZeWIF (Zcash Extensible Wallet Interchange Format) and is currenlty focused on ZecWallet Lite wallets, though the architecture is extensible and can be extended to support additional wallets in the future. Under the hood, it uses zmigrate to parse wallet files into an in-memory representation, zingolib for fund recovery and syncing, and the ZeWIF specification for wallet export (this is WIP).
- Automatically discovers wallet files in your system.
- Handles both encrypted and unencrypted wallets.
- Supports ZecWallet and zcashd wallets.
- Configurable & interactive syncing and recovery.
- CLI & TUI interfaces.
- Supports ZeWIF and sweeping funds.
- Extensible architecture.
cargo run -- <filename>This command parses the example wallet files included in the project and prints the output to stdout.
The primary goal of this project is to enable seamless and lossless migration of wallet data across different wallet implementations. By reading a wallet file and exporting it into a standardized format (ZeWIF), ZExCavator ensures compatibility and ease of future development.
