#zcash Developers Set January Target for Quantum-Resistant Payments Upgrade 🔒⚛️🛡️

Developers of privacy-focused Zcash (#zec ) have officially announced a January target to deploy post-quantum signature opcodes, protecting the network from future quantum-computing threats and AI-assisted cryptographic attacks 🚀⚙️.

The upcoming upgrade, developed under the Zakura node system, introduces hash-based signatures to secure wallets and prevent attackers from working backward from public keys to forge spending approvals 📊🔍. This initial phase will safeguard transparent transactions, which currently account for roughly 70% of all issued ZEC (~11.96 million coins) 💸📉.

While January serves as the concrete development deadline for public payments, the broader transition to fully quantum-proof shielded (private) payments remains a multi-year effort under Project Epoch, targeted for late 2027 🏛️🔐.
