Together with @zodl_co, @ZcashFoundation, @ValarGroup and @ShieldedLabs, we're advocating for a network upgrade that would make ZEC's circulating supply auditable, providing additional reassurance that no counterfeiting occurred in the Orchard pool before this week's bugfix.

Zcash unambiguously has the best security response in the world, thanks to @zodl_co and @ZcashFoundation engineers.

[Project Tachyon @TachyonZcash]

As we blogged about last month, the new shielded pool we're developing for Zcash will use formal verification, more conservative cryptography, a simple arithmetization, robust APIs, fuzzing, and extensive auditing from humans and AI.

And much more: https://t.co/H3bwCnzuLY

Buy $ZEC without using a CEX.

The @peerxyz P2P on-ramp lets you purchase Zcash.

Pay with fiat via Venmo, Revolut or PayPal withdraw it to your self-custodied wallet then shield!

No KYC exchange. No custodians. Just privacy.

Privacy Is Normal 🛡️

#Zcash #IBW

[Zodl (fka Zashi) @zodl_app]

Attention Zodl users: Orchard-related transactions are temporarily unavailable while Zcash miners complete the network upgrade. Please expect limited Zodl functionality.

The following features are currently unavailable:
• Swaps to and from ZEC
• Sending Orchard shielded funds
• Receiving Orchard shielded funds
• Shielding transparent funds

You can still receive funds to your Zcash Transparent Address and Zcash Shielded Address via Sapling.

Your funds remain safe. Your privacy is unaffected. No action is required.

We expect normal operation to resume once the upgrade is complete at approximately 23:00 EDT.

Questions? DM @zodl_support or [email protected]

Update: Coordinated Network Upgrade for Orchard transactions.

The network upgrade is in progress. During this period, the Zcash network continues to run, and transparent and Sapling-shielded transactions are functioning normally. The Network Upgrade is specific to the mining of Orchard transactions.

There is no evidence of any exploit. Your funds and privacy are safe. No user action is needed.

Ecosystem-wide coordination includes deployment of both consensus nodes: zcashd, zebrad, as well as SDKs and other supporting infrastructure. As part of this coordinated rollout, several mining pools requested additional time to complete deployment and quality-control procedures, particularly given the need to coordinate teams and operators across multiple time zones.

We anticipate that miners will begin accepting Orchard transactions again at approximately 23:00 EDT.

Additional information will be shared when the upgrade is complete.
