Today, we present Zcash Labs.
An independent organization focused on solving technical integration challenges for businesses and institutions interested in Zcash.
We are also funding and supporting teams and infrastructure that help solve real world adoption on zcash.
Our initial focus will include:
- Technical integrations and support for businesses and institutions
- Running mission critical and privacy protecting zcash infrastructure
- Supporting new projects that expand real adoption of Zcash usage
We have already been helping independent Zcash-focused teams move from ideation to launched products, including initial grants to help get their work off the ground.
And we are proud to announce that one of the teams is already ready, launched, and available.

@zcashtocash makes it easier to convert Zcash to fiat currency. It uses Peer to facilitate peer-to-peer conversions, with enclaves releasing ZEC only after the fiat payment has been verified.
It supports 6 fiat apps as of now, and 100+ geographies, with a wider range of support coming as the Peer protocol expands.
We have already been operating for some time and supporting teams such as zcashtocash.
We also have more projects and integrations to announce. Follow us on twitter, and stay tuned to our blog for latest from Zcash Labs.

RESEARCH: In early June, @Zcash caught a soundness flaw in its Orchard shielded circuit and turned the fix into public, verifiable data.
As of July 28th, the Ironwood upgrade has sealed the old pool, and formally verifies there can never be another undetectable bug in Orchard or Ironwood.
As of August 10th, ~60% of all Orchard funds have migrated to Ironwood.
