Pacu 🧉 Zcash, Rust et Al. (he/him) 🦓

The Zcash devs have been grinding for years, some over a decade. They had options. Higher comp, sexier chains, better funded projects, less personal risk. Often underappreciated, underestimated, attacked, and ignored. But they didn't leave. Instead, they built, with an uncompromising belief that this project will change the world. Not a job. A mission. It's special. Unstoppable. Can't be replicated. And it will change the world.

We (@zodl_co) now manage and have restored the legacy ECC blog posts, containing much of the history of Zcash. electriccoin.co/blog/

The defer statement can be useful but is quite unknown. avanderlee.com/swift/defer-us… ☝🏻 A common use case 👯‍♀️ Using multiple defer statements 💂‍♂️ Ensuring results #swiftlang #ios #iosdev #xcode

Tried to figure out Crosslink. The TLDR for ZEC: - you'll be able to stake ZEC - you'll earn yield while keeping your privacy - your funds stay liquid, you can unstake in about a week - ZEC becomes a working asset, not just a store Crosslink adds Proof-of-Stake to Zcash without removing Proof-of-Work. The miners stay. The network adds a second layer of security and a new way for holders to participate. If you hold ZEC, you can lock some of it and assign it to a validator (called a "finalizer"). They confirm blocks. You earn a share of new ZEC issuance for delegating to them. Where the yield comes from: every Zcash block creates new ZEC. Today miners get 80% of it. After Crosslink, roughly 40% reroutes to stakers. The network pays you in ZEC for helping secure it. The same way Ethereum or Solana pays validators, just new for Zcash. What makes it different: privacy. On other chains, your stake amount and your validator choice are public. On Zcash, stakes are denominated in fixed buckets, 1, 10, or 100 ZEC, so your specific position cannot be tracked. The transactions live inside Zcash's shielded pool. You earn yield without exposing your wallet history. This unlocks something no privacy chain has had before: a native, private, yield-bearing asset. Not a wrapped version. Not a bridge-out-and-restake hack. ZEC, staking on its own chain, with shielding intact. Bonus: stronger finality. Once stakers finalize a block, it cannot be reversed, even if miners try a 51% attack. This makes ZEC stronger collateral for bridges and easier to list on exchanges. Status: prototype on github, incentivized testnet running. ZEC stops being a savings account and becomes infrastructure. Will you stake?

Hello! Yesterday I attended @Zcash Dev Summit organized by @ZcashFoundation! It was great and I can't wait to share a bit more of that with you all. Meanwhile, another week, another @Zcash Z3 development update with lots of progress forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-z3-upd…

Zcash

Tal (@MariusMargulus) gave a talk on Project Tachyon and Ragu at zkSummit in Rome. The presentation explored recursive proving, oblivious synchronization, shielded aggregation, and the architectural primitives designed to scale shielded Zcash toward planetary scale privacy.

You’re buying $ZEC on an exchange… but not shielding it? You can have the power of a Swiss bank account in your pocket, without the bank. Use @zodl_app. Encrypt the money. Live free. 🛡️✨

What the…?

@Zerodartz Several big ones over next two weeks: - Quantum recoverability - Token holder voting getting integrated - Miners can start moving to Zebra/Zallet - Huge for zcashd bugs becoming nothingburgers - Candidate NU7 testnet live

@jswihart on crypto's cypherpunk roots: "privacy gives us agency to be who we truly are and to protect ourselves." "Bitcoin has not held these values," he says on the Convergence stage at @consensus2026 Miami.

ZF is now steward of the Zcash GitHub org, z.cash, and the @zcash X handle — and we're partnering with @ZecHub to keep Zcash's public voice in community hands. zfnd.org/zcash-foundati…

Hoy celebramos el tercer aniversario de @ZcastEsp! 3 años compartiendo con toda la comunidad de Zcash, noticias e información en nuestro idioma. Gracias a todos los que nos han acompañado y han hecho realidad este recorrido, y a ti @gordonesTV por ser el mejor cohost siempre

En el próximo workshop de @yoditarzk junto al @ZkAv_Club aprenderemos a usar Signal, una de las apps de mensajería más recomendadas cuando se habla de privacidad y comunicación segura. free2z.cash/Yoditar/zpage/…
