No wonder $ZEC nuked 25%, pretty wild to not know whether the token was mass printed
Privacy becoming a bug not a feature
TL;DR
i) Bug found: May 29, 2026 by Taylor Hornby (AI-assisted audit - Opus 4.8 showing us what it’s made of!) in Zcash’s Orchard shielded pool
ii) Issue: Under-constrained circuit (present since 2022) allowed unlimited undetectable counterfeit ZEC creation
iii) Response: Fully disclosed & fixed ecosystem-wide by June 2, 2026
iv) Exploitation risk: Unprovable due to privacy, but considered unlikely
v) Next steps (Shielded Labs):
New shielded pool + turnstile for verifiable supply
Hopefully there’s a clearer image in the coming days
