Step 1: Create your wallet

In production, you'd use Zashi or any ZIP 304 wallet. For this demo, we generate a keypair in your browser.

An Ed25519 keypair is generated in your browser

Same cryptographic family as Zcash's Jubjub curve — identical interface

The public key is encoded as a bech32m address (zauth1...)

Same format as real Zcash shielded addresses (zs1...) — just a different prefix for demo

A W3C DID is derived: did:zcash:mainnet:zauth1...

This DID is your portable identity — it resolves to a DID Document with your public key

The private key stays in your browser only

The server never sees it — just like a real Zcash wallet
