Zcash Is Trying To Make Private Payments Much Faster Privacy coins have always had an awkward trade-off: hiding transaction details is useful, but the cryptography behind it can make everything heavier and slower. Zcash developers are now moving code from Project Tachyon into Zakura Common, part of an effort aimed at eventually pushing private-payment processing beyond 50,000 transactions per second. The work is focused on accelerating the zero-knowledge proof infrastructure behind shielded transactions. And the timing is kind of funny. $ZEC has been having a rough few days, it fell another 9% on Tuesday after already sliding sharply, while its U.S. fund was the only crypto ETF in CoinDesk's Monday dataset to record a net outflow. So the chart and the engineering story are basically having two completely different weeks. That's crypto, I guess. A token can be getting dumped while the people building the thing are quietly trying to make it substantially better. #Macro Insights# #Altcoin Season#
