Ecosystem Updates
summary
High shielded-transaction load prompts major engineering work: Zcashd optimizations absorb a 10x scale increase, then proportional fees deployed reduce spamlike load; a Halborn audit surfaces a Bitcoin-derived bug affecting ~200 coins and is fixed rapidly. Rust dependency audits and lightwalletd/SDK work near release, plus a beta wallet Zashi with spend-before-sync testing. A proof-of-stake pre‑proposal (trailing finality layer) exists, Zcash Shielded Assets (ZSA) has an alpha implementation, Zebra ships a Rust node, FROST multisig reaches audited implementation, and ZCG allocates $11.9M with 40% of dev fund (420,000 ZEC over 4 years).
