Developing private digital cash at lightning speed is an incredible achievement, a story wonderfully detailed by @TheDesertLynx on episode #226 of the @THORChain Podcast, which also featured @patriotsounds and @KentonC137. The timeline began in February with the execution of fundamental Orchard proofs on a dev net. By July, following a remarkably brief span of just 5 months, Dash officially became the second blockchain after Zcash to operate with complete Orchard privacy. Enormous credit for this accelerated progress goes to the exceptionally gifted lead developer, @SamWestrich.
