Zcash: What Zakura’s post-quantum plan covers
CoinDesk’s October 9 coverage highlights a plan by Zakura to incorporate instructions for hash-based signatures into Zcash transparent payments in January. The technical note specifies neither a year nor a network activation date: this is a development target.
With these addresses, spending reveals the public key. Using a new address reduces reuse, but does not replace a cryptographic upgrade.
Zakura also describes PIR: queries that let users check transaction history without telling the server which addresses the wallet is searching for. An experimental option is available in Vizor. It protects the queries; transparent transactions remain public on the blockchain.
Scope matters: this does not prove that all of Zcash is resistant to quantum threats. The fund-recovery design, ZIP 2005, is separate work and acknowledges that it does not, on its own, address overall security or quantum attacks on privacy.
Binance Spot, Oct 9, 18:44 UTC: ZEC at 1,211.69 USDT (+5.50% in 24h), with 203.71 million USDT in ZEC/USDT volume; BTC +1.15%. Takeaway: the price does not demonstrate technical security or that the announcement caused the move.
