Turnstile — Ironwood (NU6.3) drain monitor
← drain monitor

Migration assistant

The residual figure on the drain monitor isn't abstract — it's real testnet ZEC sitting in wallets that haven't moved it out of the sealed Orchard pool yet. This page runs an actual migration, end to end, using Zcash's own wallet software — so you can watch what closing that gap really looks like.

What this is, and isn't This is a real testnet transaction, run with a wallet we control, funded from a public faucet — not a tool that touches your funds or asks for your keys. A safe migration of your own ZEC has to happen in your own wallet, with your own keys, which this project will never request. What follows is a transparent demo of the exact steps that requires, run honestly in the open rather than described in the abstract.
How a migration actually works
Try it yourself — a real testnet wallet, in this page
Testnet only. Client-side only. We never see this. Clicking below generates a real 24-word seed phrase and a real shielded wallet, entirely in your browser — nothing is ever sent to our server. Closing or refreshing this tab loses access to it; nothing is saved anywhere by us, so the only way back in is pasting your own saved seed phrase into "Import" below. This uses WebZjs, an unaudited, in-development library ("no reviews or audit, and come with no guarantees whatsoever," per its own docs) built on Zcash's official cryptography. Never paste in a real seed phrase, or one protecting real funds, on this or any page.
  1. 1 Create your wallet
  2. 2 Fund it
  3. 3 Check balance
  4. 4 Send test migration

Status staged, not yet migrated

This is a manually-checked snapshot, not a live poll — our demo wallet runs on infrastructure this public page can't query directly. Funds are already staged in the wallet from the testnet faucet; the actual Orchard→Sapling migration transaction runs once our own node finishes syncing to Orchard activation. We'll replace this panel with the real transaction id once that happens.
