Getting ready for NU7 on testnet 🌸 🫡

The best Zcash block explorer now easy to type!

JUST IN: CipherScan is now @zecblock, same explorer, rebuilt from the block up.

Hello ZecBlock 🟨

[ZecBlock (formerly Cipherscan) @zecblock]

Building on our API?

Existing /api endpoints keep working, so nothing to change today.

New integrations should use v1 and old ones should update: https://t.co/rqpJXZQ6fI

Why the new name?

Too many of you were typing zipherscan, cypherscan, cyphrscan…

ZecBlock is easy to spell and says exactly what we are.

[ZecBlock (formerly Cipherscan) @zecblock]

Ironwood just crossed 4M ZEC.

Nine weeks after activation, it holds 82% of all shielded ZEC, about $5.8B.

[ZecBlock (formerly Cipherscan) @zecblock]

Zcash coinholders backed $8.37M in completed work across 16 grants.

The strongest support went to the Orchard counterfeiting bug bounty: 99.99% of its vote weight in favour.

Private votes. Public results.

[Kenbak @k6nb4k]

99.5% of yes for Cipherscan and 91.2% for Cipherpay 🫡

[ZecBlock (formerly Cipherscan) @zecblock]

More to come soon 👀

[Kenbak @k6nb4k]

Q3 retroactive grants have come to an end, and both @cipherpay_app and @cipherscan_app received funding.

I want to sincerely thank Zcash coinholders for placing their trust in me and for recognizing the work that went into both projects. It means a lot.

I was surprised by some of the results, but my message to everyone building in the ecosystem is simple: keep working hard and keep showing up.

There’s a unique opportunity in front of us to help move the world in a direction where privacy, individual sovereignty, and freedom are core values.

Zcash needs everyone.

Stay tuned for what’s next with Cipherscan.

Back to building 🧱🔨

[ZecBlock (formerly Cipherscan) @zecblock]

4.9 million ZEC is now shielded.

That's 28.8% of all ZEC in existence sitting in pools where no one can see who holds it.

Approaching 5M.

[ZecBlock (formerly Cipherscan) @zecblock]

NU7 is loading. Cipherscan is getting ready.

Big month ahead 🌸

[Zakura @ZakuraZcash]

We've created an NU7 dashboard so you can monitor Zcash's next network upgrade live, along with a testnet faucet and a simple guide for participating with Zakura.

BTC was the largest source of ZEC inflows this week on NEAR Intents, ahead of Ethereum, Tron and Solana.

$8.58M swapped into ZEC. $2.25M went back to BTC.

Bitcoin → Zcash: $6.33M net inflow

[ZecBlock (formerly Cipherscan) @zecblock]

Shielded Bitcoin is a welcome step for privacy research.

Zcash has spent nearly a decade bringing shielded payments to the real world: privacy built into the protocol, with mobile and hardware wallets people can use today.

Keep building. Privacy is for everyone. 🛡️

Shielded Bitcoin: Private Transfers on Bitcoin L1

[ZecBlock (formerly Cipherscan) @zecblock]

A wallet update that makes it easier to keep your balance off our website.

Big win. 🛡️

[Ledger @Ledger]

Your $ZEC can stay shielded, and you can still see exactly what you're approving 🔐

Shielded @Zcash is now supported in Ledger Wallet, with every transaction approved on your Ledger signer.

Shielded or transparent: how are you holding your Zcash? 👇

[ZecBlock (formerly Cipherscan) @zecblock]

Fully shielded transactions rose from 11,362 to 30,881 week over week (+172%).

[Cypherpunk @cypherpunk]

JUST IN: Shielded Zcash activity just hit a four-year high.

[Dev @zkDragon]

Zcash performance era is here. Blocks are processing 7x faster!

Just 3 weeks after @base announced cbZEC, nearly 3,000 ZEC is now backing it.

Encouraging early traction for cbZEC and more ways to put ZEC to work on Base 🟦
