Announcing Zypherpunk!
We are calling up builders, researchers, and creators to come and shape the future of Zcash.
Our aim is to create an entry point for new talent in Zcash, where they can learn, contribute, meet like-minded people, and also get rewarded for their efforts.
Dozens of developers are already contributing via Zypherpunk with projects like thus-spoke-zakura, and more are being created as we speak.
We will be focused on the following:
- building more projects like thus-spoke-zakura collaboratively with developers
- creating content and media that accelerates developer-focused education for Zcash
- events and meetups that bring more high-quality technical talent to Zcash
- hackathons to identify the next big projects for Zcash and help them find the right partners for mentoring, funding, etc.
The encrypted money for humanity needs the brightest minds of our generation building for it.
If this sounds interesting to you, please fill out the form to join our Discord below ๐
We are taking Zcash to UC Berkeley with @CalBlockchain.
There will be technical sessions on Zcash, why it matters, what is coming, and how you can contribute!
We are so excited to see you all there.
Thus Spoke Zakura v0.4.0 is here

Wow!
Zcash engineers figured out a way to use a unique incoming viewing key per transaction while also keeping it performant via PIR.
This makes your Zcash transaction unlinkable once quantum computing becomes feasible!
One more step towards post quantum readiness.
How weโre making Zcash quantum unlinkable through the use of one-time IVKs!
In this video, I talk about how sharing your shielded address opens you up to a specific quantum attack, and how we solved this linkage for a common feature you probably exposed yourself to already.
