Privacy is the precondition for many of our freedoms. It’s the point at which government and corporate reach end and our individual freedoms and self-sovereignty begin. As our lives have moved online, privacy’s become a rare, vanishing commodity. That’s why we founded Cypherpunk (@cypherpunktech) — a company dedicated to privacy and self-sovereignty. We will execute on our mission by accumulating, building, and supporting privacy-protecting assets and technologies at a time when the world needs them more than ever. To that end, Cypherpunk — Ticker: $LPTX (today), $CYPH (tomorrow) — was launched with a $50 million+ investment from @winklevosscap to begin accumulating Zcash ($ZEC) at what we believe to be a significant discount to Zcash’s true long-term value. Cypherpunk currently holds 203,775 ZEC purchased at an average price of ~$245 per coin, representing ~1.25% of the current ZEC supply. We plan to continue accumulating ZEC rapidly so that Cypherpunk owns at least 5% of the total ZEC supply. Since Zcash’s launch 9 years ago, we’ve observed its highly symbiotic relationship with bitcoin. Zcash is a fork of Bitcoin and shares identical tokenomics — both have a fixed total supply of 21 million coins. If bitcoin is digital gold, Zcash is encrypted bitcoin, or digital cash. One is your store of value, the other is how you privately move your value. We’ve been tracking this symbiosis for years and believe that now — as we enter the age of AI — is the right time to begin accumulating ZEC. We feel strongly that Zcash could become a meaningful percentage of Bitcoin’s market capitalization — just on the merits of it being a privacy hedge or insurance policy to Bitcoin’s transparency alone. We believe bitcoin will continue to ascend to $1,000,000 per coin over the next 5-10 years. We also believe Zcash will appreciate significantly from here as well. These coins go hand in hand. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to lay out our thesis. In the meantime, we’re excited to have you join us as we stack zats and invest in other technologies that promote privacy and self-sovereignty. Let us proceed together apace. Onward.

@Marvin_Rivera__ Noted. Will look into this asap

@tyler Looks like I did not! Seems faster now, thanks. However, still takes a bit for the portfolio number and graph to update. Just a FYI

We just launched a 3x performance improvement for our order book interface. Pre-batched messages (12x fewer msgs to parse), less GC pressure, lower CPU, leading to a much snappier ActiveTrader experience (old on left, new on right). More improvements incoming.

The public has lost faith in experts and the media. The solution is the truth machine created by prediction markets and the decentralized trust created by crypto. This is the way 🇺🇸

Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) has secured over $25 million in funding from a16z, Paradigm, Winklevoss Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Cypherpunk Technologies, Maelstrom (family office of Arthur Hayes), Chapter One, David Friedberg, Haseeb Qureshi, Mert, Balaji and others. If you aren’t familiar, Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) is the team formerly known as Electric Coin Company (ECC), the group that launched Zcash, and the creator of @zodl_app. The name is new, but our team has been building Zcash for a decade. A couple of years ago, my team and I set out to change the trajectory of Zcash with an uncompromising focus on the user experience for shielded ZEC. We released Zodl (then called Zashi) and have never looked back. The release of the normie-friendly wallet was the first step. Then came integrations with partners like Flexa for retail spending and Keystone for cold storage. Most recently, we worked with the NEAR team to unlock ZEC swaps through NEAR intents. It worked. The proof is in the numbers. The wallet has driven adoption of the Zcash shielded pool by over 400%, and facilitated more than $600M in ZEC swaps since October. Now is the time to build on that momentum and accelerate. In addition to Zodl, we are building Zallet, a full node wallet that will also underpin new desktop software. Ultimately, we intend to deliver a private, decentralized financial system as an alternative to legacy institutions. This funding allows us to bring these ambitions to life, without relying on Zcash dev fund grants to get there. I’m grateful for these investors who are partnering with us. These are exciting days for the ZODL team and Zcash more broadly. We’re in the dawn of a new era. We will get ZEC in the hands of billions. Download at zodl.com Onward.

Every improvement ZODL makes to Zcash usability should strengthen adoption, deepen demand for ZEC, and increase the value of our treasury. Onward.

Cypherpunk now holds 294,743 ZEC, or ~1.78% of the total supply. With this new investment, we also now own $5M of ZODL. We see a direct relationship between the two.

For privacy and Zcash to succeed, they need to be easy to use. That is ZODL’s mission, and we are excited to join them in it.
