If you go down the Bitcoin rabbit hole and don't end up at Zcash, you took a wrong turn somewhere.

Project Tachyon is accelerating with Udon. Applying today's new high-performance cryptography stack to tomorrow's shielded protocol.
We're beginning to integrate Tachyon's cryptography with Zakura Common.

Zcash to 50,000 TPS, you say?
That's Visa peak territory
Interesting
Dev Ojha (@zkDragon) explains how Zakura is rebuilding Zcash infrastructure for scale:
0:00 - Why Zcash needed a new full node
3:01 - The path to 50,000 TPS
7:02 - Building the most hardened Zcash node
8:35 - What’s coming next

Full transparency will not survive the test of time because it already fails the test of freedom.

Huge thanks to Dory, a true Zcash patriot, for donating 200 ZEC (roughly $235,000) to Shielded Labs.
After nearly a decade supporting Zcash as a holder, Dory is now supporting Shielded Labs as a donor. He believes Zcash can help protect freedom for future generations and that Shielded Labs can help protect ZEC. We've had the chance to get to know Dory in person, and his donation is a meaningful vote of confidence in our work.
We’re incredibly grateful for his generosity and support. Donations like this allow Shielded Labs to remain independent and focus on projects that advance the long-term security and sustainability of Zcash in support of our mission to build unstoppable private money.
If you'd like to support our work, donate to Shielded Labs here:

@ShieldedLabs Crosslink workshop #2:
The primary focus of this workshop centered on the performance and stability of the current Crosslink Featurenet, the successful testing of the User-Activated Slashing (UAS) mechanism to resolve BFT stalls, and preparations for a complete network reset ahead of the upcoming Nightly Network and consensus upgrades.
Quick context by @nate_zec : Crosslink is Shielded_Labs' effort to move @Zcash toward a hybrid proof-of-work + proof-of-stake consensus for better safety, decentralization, and economics.
The feature net is live. This workshop covered what shipped since last time and what's next.

@zooko is a true cypherpunk.
I’ve known Zooko since 2014. I’ve always respected his tech skills, deep cypherpunk roots, and commitment to privacy.
He wasn’t working to get rich or famous. That’s why Zcash survived for so long.
It’s so satisfying to see markets catch up to what they’ve built.

"Why would you not want your Bitcoin to be private? What do you gain by simply not having the option to shield your funds?" - @mert
Formal verification makes these questions impossible to ignore
. @mert makes the case that $ZEC hitting just 10% of Bitcoin's market cap sends the price to $4,000
"People like to say Zcash a good comparable or a good target is 10% of Bitcoin. Currently it's nowhere near that. @Zcash is smaller than $Doge, smaller than $Tron, smaller than pretty much anything in the top ten. I think that 10% is a very conservative target"
"Why would you not want your Bitcoin to be private? What do you gain by simply not having the option to shield your funds? It's strictly inferior, technologically speaking. If a coin has history then it's not fungible. It can be frozen, see the Canadian truckers, or you can just surveil where it goes forever"
"Currently it's at about a 6 to 7 billion market cap, around 450 in price. Bitcoin's at 1.5 trillion. So 10% for Zcash would be about 70 billion, which would mean around 4,000. If you look at the market cap of what's above it and how small it is, I think it's pretty undervalued"
Podcast out tomorrow!
