Zcash *literally* pioneered zero-knowledge proofs.
@mert on Zcash pioneering ZK:
"Everybody's heard of ZK proofs. What you might not know is Zcash was the first production system in history to have them live. It took a long time, but now ZK works at planetary scale."
Zcash didn't adopt ZK. It shipped it first.
@will__mcevoy on privacy in the age of AI:
"In a world with AI, Bitcoin is fully transparent. AI can parse that ledger alongside everything leaked about you and de-anonymize your wallet. That's scared Bitcoiners. Zcash is the solution."
Transparent money is training data.
Zcash will be at 200 shielded TPS within a few weeks.
A vision for Zcash L1, January 2027
- Scale: Achieve 200 shielded TPS
- Uses Tachyon & a 4x block size increase
- Post-Quantum:
- Unconditional Post-quantum Privacy live
- PQ Transparent
- Sapling deposit disable date set, users must go QR
- Longevity: Software wallets and hardware wallets stop breaking every NU.
Hope the community rallies around landing it forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/v… !
JUST IN: @zkDragon proposes NU8 for late January, including the release of Tachyon, bigger blocks for 200 shielded TPS, a Sapling deposit cutoff date, and massive post-quantum advancements.

Zcash at 50K TPS is coming soon.
@zkdragon on Zcash at 50K TPS:
"The Zcash community hasn't given up on the dream. In 2-3 years, let's get Zcash to 50,000 payments per second, fully post-quantum, with sub-second latency."
Visa-scale Zcash is coming.
JUST IN: @weijie_eth joins Shielded Labs to work on Zcash's long-term security.
We’ve brought on another talented engineer at Shielded Labs! Welcome, Wei Jie Koh (@weijie_eth). Wei Jie’s background is in applied cryptography, and he has extensive experience working on privacy-related projects. At Shielded Labs, he’ll focus on strengthening the long-term security of Zcash.
Wei Jie is from Singapore, but currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His background is in applied cryptography and zero-knowledge systems. Before joining Shielded Labs, he was Technical Lead at Renegade, working on dark pools on Base and Arbitrum that handled $90 million in annual trading volume. He helped make the firm’s market-maker hedging system more reliable and built trading infrastructure for the protocol.
Wei Jie also worked as a researcher at Bain Capital Crypto and Geometry, developing cryptographic software and making zero-knowledge proofs faster to generate. Before that, he was an engineer at the Ethereum Foundation, where he built Semaphore, which lets people prove they belong to a group without revealing their identity, and MACI, a voting system designed to resist bribery. He’s drawn to this work because he believes people should be able to transact and collaborate without giving up their privacy or relying on centralized intermediaries.
That’s what attracted him to Zcash and our work at Shielded Labs. According to Wei Jie, “I'm excited to join Shielded Labs and advance Zcash's mission of enabling financial privacy and sovereignty for all. I'm eager to apply my experience in cryptography and privacy systems to strengthen Zcash's long-term security, and am looking forward to contributing to a stronger, more resilient Zcash ecosystem.”
We’re looking forward to working with Wei Jie. He’s spent years building privacy systems, and we’re glad to have him bring that experience to Shielded Labs.
Welcome to the team, Wei Jie!
