Zcash Activates Ironwood Upgrade with Quantum-Secure Shielded Pool
Zcash is gearing up for its Ironwood network upgrade on July 28. The update will introduce a new shielded pool, which will feature quantum-recoverable notes and a turnstile mechanism to enhance verification of the ZEC supply.
The changes are designed to address concerns over a potential counterfeiting vulnerability in the legacy Orchard shielded pool.
The Ironwood upgrade is aimed at improving the network's long-term security, making it more resilient against potential threats.
