Zcash Network Achieves Quantum-Proof Status with Tachion Update

At The Rollup program on the crypto broadcasting platform, Mert Mumtaz discussed the recent Ironwood update implemented on the Zcash network. This update is considered a significant milestone for the project and eliminates the risk of counterfeit coin minting on the network.

Mumtaz recalled that during internal red teaming and AI-powered security audits, a potential vulnerability was identified in the Orchard pool. However, through extensive work and official verification, it was proven that the code mathematically matched the specifications perfectly.

Dev, founder of Valor Group, emphasized that the main goal is to achieve a transaction volume on the scale of a credit card for Zcash. He stated that they aim to process more than 50,000 transactions per second at sub-second speeds while maintaining a full proof-of-work mechanism.
