A vision for Zcash L1, January 2027

- Scale: Achieve 200 shielded TPS
- Uses Tachyon & a 4x block size increase
- Post-Quantum:
- Unconditional Post-quantum Privacy live
- PQ Transparent
- Sapling deposit disable date set, users must go QR
- Longevity: Software wallets and hardware wallets stop breaking every NU.

Hope the community rallies around landing it https://t.co/8iy53K2wMN !

Wherein the secret to scaling private payments is discussed!

Short talk explaining Private Information Retrieval, a repeat of the talk I gave at ZODL Summit Prague!

In it, we explain the high level of PIR, and how you use it to find out if you received a payment!

Without this work, migrating to Ironwood on Keystone would have taken some users over an hour of synchronous time! This article lays out all the changes we made to make this same user's experience take only 6 minutes (~10x faster)! https://t.co/eA851P6lwW

[evan 🌸 @evansforbes]

orphan blocks make progress ambiguous on short time scales (and costly for mining pools)

therefore, we need to adopt all blocks (or as many as we can)

DAGs like kaspa are a great option!
also
Autobahn and but adapted for PoW
also
Miner Builder Separation (MBS)

all things we're experimenting w/ before presenting to the community at large @ValarGroup @ZakuraZcash

[Dev @zkDragon]

Excited to announce Zakura! A new Zcash full node, built around scale!

We've teamed up with @TachyonZcash to make this a reality.

Our first release solves many painpoints for the ecosystem:
- Much faster sync
- Pruned nodes
- Snapshots
- Support for Zcashd wallets
