First, verify the ZEC balance directly on a Zcash block explorer using your wallet address. If the balance shows correctly on the blockchain but not in Brave Wallet, then it’s likely a wallet display or synchronization issue.
For the sending problem, make sure you have enough ZEC available for network fees and check whether the funds are confirmed and spendable. Sometimes recently received funds may not be immediately available to send.
It would also help if you could provide:
• Your operating system
• Brave version
• Whether you’re using a transparent (t) or shielded (z) Zcash address
• Whether the balance is visible on a block explorer
That information should help determine whether this is a wallet sync issue or a problem with the Zcash network integration.
Common causes for Zcash issues on Android include assets being hidden by Asset Filters , address rotation bugs after updates, and shielded synchronization delays .
Check Asset Visibility : Navigate to your asset list and ensure Zcash is not set to “Hidden” under Asset Filters .
Address Rotation : If the deposit address changed after a browser update, the wallet may not recognize the transaction. Try using the Brave Nightly version, which has served as a workaround for these specific server-side/client-side incompatibilities.
Shielded Sync : Ensure the shielded messaging is visible at brave://wallet/crypto/accounts . If balances show as zero after shielding, perform a manual account sync or reset the wallet using your seed phrase (ensuring the legacy option is checked if migrating from older versions).
Send Failures : If the “Max” send button fails, manually reduce the send amount slightly (e.g., by 0.0001 ZEC) to reserve sufficient fees for the transaction.
