Introducing Cocoon, the private ledger infrastructure for regulated institutions. Built on Zilkworm and Erigon Client, Cocoon bridges the gap between privacy, compliance, and verifiability: → Users authenticate via onchain enterprise identity → No wallets or crypto UX required → Regulators verify proofs → Protocol-level compliance enforcement Read the full announcement → erigon.tech/blog/introduci… #Zilkworm #EVM #Ethereum #RISCV #ZKVM

U.S. Treasury lifted sanctions on Tornado Cash. DOJ said it won't target mixers for end-user crimes. Treasury says lawful users may use mixers for privacy. Trump says war on crypto is over. So why are they still coming after @rstormsf? Watch what they do not what they say.

The U.S. Treasury now admits that crypto mixers have legitimate privacy uses on public blockchains. So why are the Samourai Wallet developers sitting in jail? Free Samourai.

Zcash's shielded pool went from 11% to 30% of total supply in a single year. This is more growth than the previous eight years combined. Users are actively moving coins into the shielded pool and keeping them there. Shielded ZEC tends to be stickier, acting as a supply sink that removes coins from circulation. Three things changed in the last two years: the cryptography no longer requires any trust assumptions, mobile wallets actually work, and Near Intents gave users a non-custodial way to rotate into ZEC from any chain. In the last 30 days alone, ZEC has done $285M in volume on Near Intents versus $348M for BTC. That adoption is built on real cryptographic guarantees. The privacy is information-theoretically hidden. Sender, receiver, and amount are all encrypted in a way that makes transactions mathematically indistinguishable from one another. Every shielded transaction cryptographically proves no coins were counterfeited without revealing any transaction details. There's no information for a quantum computer to extract. The next phase is scaling. Orchard eliminated the trusted setup entirely and became the default shielded pool. Tachyon comes next, reworking how transactions are validated and batched to push throughput toward the levels needed for real economic activity. Now the privacy needs to work at scale.

@notcelon Where's the point, they are doing like everyone else in crypto

zcash guys awfully quiet lately probably losing money in private

@AFTSDCrypto Le soluzioni sono 2: emigrare dalla Italia oppure @bitrefill + @zashi_app per spendere le crypto in maniera discreta. Si può sempre perdere le chiavi private e mettere tutto in #Zcash ...

In Italia dal 2026 le crypto spot verranno tassate al 33%. Trentatré. Per cento. Una percentuale che non ha alcun senso economico, né logico, né competitivo. È una tassa punitiva, non una tassa equa. Parliamo di investimenti spot, non di leva, non di derivati complessi, non di attività speculative ad altissimo rischio. Eppure lo Stato italiano decide di trattare chi investe in crypto peggio di chi investe in azioni, ETF o fondi, e spesso peggio di chi fa impresa. Ora guardiamoci intorno. In Germania, se tieni Bitcoin più di un anno → tassazione zero. In Portogallo, per anni è stato un paradiso fiscale crypto e ancora oggi resta molto più favorevole. In Svizzera, se sei un investitore privato → niente capital gain. In Francia, flat tax al 30%. In Olanda, tassazione patrimoniale, non sui capital gain realizzati. E poi c’è l’Italia. Che non innova, non attrae capitali, non crea ecosistemi… ma tassa come se stesse combattendo un nemico. Cazzo, un nemico. Il messaggio è chiarissimo: “Se investi in crypto, qui non sei il benvenuto.” E indovina il risultato? - capitali che se ne vanno - giovani che scappano - imprenditori che cambiano residenza - talento che emigra E lo Stato? Incassa meno, non di più. Perché una tassazione così alta non aumenta il gettito, lo distrugge. Spinge le persone fuori dal sistema, non dentro. E ora la domanda finale, quella scomoda. Quella che nessuno fa... I nostri politici “pro crypto”, quelli super shillati, quelli dei post, delle conferenze e delle foto con Bitcoin… cosa hanno fatto concretamente per bloccare questo scempio? Perché qui non parliamo di tweet, panel o storytelling. Parliamo di leggi. E su questo: - nessun emendamento serio - nessuna presa di posizione forte - nessuna difesa reale del settore Solo silenzio. Il paradosso finale è questo: mentre l’Europa "chiacchiera" di innovazione, blockchain, tokenizzazione, AI e finanza del futuro… l’Italia risponde con una tassa da paese spaventato, non da paese evoluto. E poi ci chiediamo perché non nascono unicorni, non arrivano investitori, non restano i capitali. La verità è semplice e fa male dirla: a livello fiscale sulle crypto, facciamo ridere rispetto al resto d’Europa. E finché non lo ammettiamo, continueremo a perdere tempo, soldi e persone.

@oobit, please fix the spelling of @paoloardoino because it seriously undermines your website's credibility.

Encrypted Chats needs Encrypted Money @elonmusk

@krugermacro Try the @zashi_app . Thanks to the integration with Near Intents, you can seamlessy swap assets from and to Zcash in a private and secure way.

Haven't seen a single new exciting crypto app in 2025. Nothing but recycled ideas and copycats. What's new out there?

@BTCTurtle It's a coordinated pump!

Welcome, Zcash critics, tell me what the issue is with $ZEC 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

@OrangeFren I tell you more frens, Brave has a built in wallet which among many crypto supports also shielded Zcash. But you want to remain sidelined and refuse to recognize the value of things.

❓Why is optional-privacy Zcash advertising in Brave that "privacy is normal" when it isn't in their crypto?

@nikzh @monero @Zcash @zano_project @PirateChain @litecoin good effort, but this is extremely inaccurate ring signature obfuscation is not logically or mathematically equivalent to an actually encrypted shielded pool so this is meaningless you also can't measure it via pure liquid size, you need to look at unspent notes etc...

While Cloudflare's centralized outage brings down major crypto front-ends, Erigon stands resilient. Our unique Bittorrent-based state distribution ensures true decentralization: Erigon nodes are downloading mainnet data at a solid 200 Mb/s from peers, completely ignoring failed webseeds (0 b/s). #erigon #Ethereum coindesk.com/business/2025/…

Kudos to the NEAR and Zashi teams for each doing their part of the engineering to enable easier, safer swaps to ZEC!

@notgrubles Trending now! #Zcash #Bitcoin

Which cryptocurrency are you most bullish on? For hypothetical timing - Buying next week and selling 2-3 years from now:

the most common answer used to be: because gov will ban zcash but now the entire industry (except btc) is moving towards minimum viable privacy. privacy is here to stay, so zcash is here to stay but even if gov bans it, with things like near-intents, gov would have to ban every other crypto in order to shut down zcash there is no longer any reason to buy bitcoin over zcash for the rational investor i am my own quant zillions
