Applications are now open for ZODL Summit 2027.
January 19–21 • Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
We're bringing together a small group to help shape the future of Zcash with one mission: shielded ZEC in the hands of billions.

The Zcash Foundation Board of Directors has appointed David Campbell as Executive Director.
Thank you, Alex Bornstein, for leading with a constant focus on bringing the Zcash ecosystem together. Welcome, David, a longtime member of this community.

The red·bridge team will be at Zcon7 next week. Our L1 and oracle launch will be imminent following the conference! One step closer to borrowing against your $ZEC without selling. If you'll be there, let us know!
#Zcon7#Zcash
Introducing Zcash Monthly: a new series from CoinDesk Research, in collaboration with GenZcash.
Every month we’ll cover what just happened across governance, development, privacy usage and markets, with expert input from @GenZcash and the wider @Zcash developer community.
In Orchard and Ironwood, Sinsemilla-based Merkle hashing processes 520 bits in 52 chunks of 10-bit words.
Sinsemilla efficiently hashes the Merkle trees that allow Zcash users to prove their funds exist and can be spent, without revealing which shielded notes belong to them, 10 bits at a time!

Dev Ojha’s full talk on the path to scaling Zcash at Token2049 Singapore.
Timestamps:
00:00 - The dream of digital cash
01:29 - Satoshi can’t spend his coins
03:18 - Making Zcash quantum recoverable
04:44 - Scaling encrypted money to the entire world
05:35 - Tachyon changes the scaling problem
07:23 - Zakura: scaling Proof of Work
08:35 - Privacy is the real scaling bottleneck
10:01 - Private Information Retrieval changes everything
INSIGHT: @Zcash developers propose giving every $ZEC swap through NEAR Intents its own private key, closing a gap that a future quantum computer could exploit to piece together a user’s payment history before the January quantum-resistance deadline.
Zakura P2Pv2. A new networking layer for Zcash combining high-throughput networking, resource controls, and a property-tested consensus engine with permissionless services for the networks future needs.
Scaling Zcash to Visa-level throughput requires a next-generation networking stack. We're excited to share P2Pv2, which you can try out today in Zakura!
zakura.com/engineering/p2pv2…
Zakura's wallet and cryptography support libraries are integrating @ValarGroup's PIR-based tech that Tachyon depends on for its payment protocol, and some of it is immediately useful today!
Any wallet can use or even fork this code: it's free, open-source, and permissionless.
$ZEC. NU7. 25-second blocks. Ironwood locked.
ZSAs moving private. Tachyon on the rise.
NSM recycling fees. Sprout’s been neutralized.
Halo recursive. Zebra never sleeps.
Private by default: the chain never leaks. 🛡️
Still on the fence about Zcon7? The fence has a deadline. ⏰️

Namaste Mumbai 👋
We are bringing Zcash to @EFDevcon, come to a curated gathering of the Zyhperpunks.
You will learn Zcash from the best, enjoy some nice food and make some cool friends.
We are restricting this event to only 50 high quality people, can’t wait to see you all there.
