Out here on the water thinking about what actually lasts in crypto. Most chains show every move. $ZEC lets you send value with the sender, receiver, and amount off the public ledger when you want privacy that still settles on a real chain. We run mining infrastructure, and we’re heading to ZCon 7 in Cancun later this month. If you’re in Zcash, say hi. If you’re just curious how shielded money works, stick around. Not financial advice. Just building in public.

$ZEC news: CoinDesk reports Zcash developers want every ZEC swap through NEAR Intents to get its own private key. That closes a gap a future quantum computer could use to stitch together someone's payment history. Private now, private later. #Zcash
