Another important step forward for Zcash.
Zkool 6.35 is OUT.
And there's a lot happening under the hood.
Ready for NU7.
FROST multisig accounts operating in Ironwood.
Improved backup and recovery.
Coinholder voting that continues in the background.
Incoming viewing keys that let you monitor payments without giving away spending access.
This is the infrastructure that makes private money more usable.

An important leadership change for Zcash.
The Zcash Foundation has appointed David Campbell as its new Executive Director.
And his background is impressive.
Former COO of Electric Coin Company.
Co-founder of JumpCloud.
Former Chief Security Officer at SendGrid.
Nearly 30 years of experience building and securing critical infrastructure.
His priorities?
Strengthening Zebra.
Improving network infrastructure.
Making financial privacy easier for everyday users.
With NU7 approaching, experienced technical leadership matters.

Another big step for Zcash adoption.
$ZEC trading is now LIVE on Hydration.
One of Polkadot's DeFi platforms.
Users can now access:
Instant swaps.
Limit orders.
Dollar cost averaging.
And there's more being worked on.
A proposal is progressing to introduce ZEC lending and borrowing.
Including the ability to use ZEC as collateral.
Think about the bigger picture.
Zcash is gaining access to more DeFi infrastructure across multiple blockchain ecosystems.
More integrations.
More utility.
More ways to access $ZEC.
And we're only getting started.

Be careful Zcash fam, I'm not sure if this is related to the recent data breach at Keystone.
Zcash is insurance against a future where financial privacy no longer exists.
Mass surveillance.
Financial censorship.
Centralised control.
Every transaction tracked.
Every payment monitored.
The world is becoming increasingly digital.
And with that comes an increasing need for financial privacy.
Most people won't recognise that need until it's too late.
I'd rather be positioned before the world catches on.

Zcash ETF inflows are starting to get interesting.
Grayscale's $ZCSH just recorded another $20.5 MILLION in inflows.
That's FOUR consecutive positive trading sessions.
October 20: $1.6M
October 21: $15.2M
October 22: $14.2M
October 23: $20.5M
$51.5 MILLION in four days.
And the latest session was the biggest of the four.
Remember, this comes after weeks of significant outflows.
Too early to call a complete reversal.
But demand for ZEC exposure through traditional markets is showing signs of recovery.

Zcash adoption continues expanding across the globe.
A new education and adoption programme has just been approved in Bolivia.
Two universities.
Three workshops.
At least 100 students targeted.
And this isn't just about teaching people what Zcash is.
Students will be introduced to wallets and real $ZEC transactions.
Africa.
Asia.
South America.
The grassroots effort to bring financial privacy to more people continues growing.
$ZEC
Grayscale just made another move involving Zcash.
Eligible investors can now contribute $ZEC directly in exchange for shares of its $ZCSH ETF.
No need to sell ZEC for cash first.
The approximate minimum investment?
$322,600.
And Zcash is one of just 10 cryptocurrencies included in this expansion.
Bitcoin.
Ethereum.
Solana.
XRP.
Sui.
Hyperliquid.
And Zcash among others.
This doesn't automatically mean fresh institutional buying.
But it gives larger ZEC holders another route into traditional investment markets.
Another piece of financial infrastructure being built around $ZEC.
The Zcash Foundation has appointed a new Executive Director.
David Campbell.
Nearly 30 years of experience in technology and security.
Former COO of Electric Coin Company.
And someone who has been involved with Zcash since 2018.
His priorities?
Stronger infrastructure.
Faster and more reliable Zebra nodes.
Making financial privacy easier for everyday users.
Zcash is entering an important period of development.
Experienced leadership matters.
$ZEC
BIG development for Zcash.
Zebra 7.0.0 has officially been released.
And this is a major step towards NU7.
The new release includes:
Full NU7 mainnet support.
Improved node synchronisation.
Faster and more reliable block propagation.
Important security fixes.
Performance improvements.
The activation is targeting November 5.
25 second blocks are getting closer.
But there's something equally important here.
Zcash isn't just upgrading its protocol.
It's strengthening the infrastructure that keeps the entire network running.
$ZEC
Zcash is making a serious comeback.
$ZEC is currently trading around $1,333, up over 11% in the past 24 hours.
After dipping towards $1,050 just days ago, buyers have stepped back in aggressively.
That's a recovery of more than 25%.
Short term momentum is firmly back in favour of the bulls.
Now I'm watching the $1,340 to $1,350 area.
Break above that and $1,400 comes back into focus.
On the downside, holding $1,300 would be an encouraging sign that buyers are building strength.
The recovery has been impressive.
Now let's see if $ZEC can turn this momentum into another leg higher.
Another important development for institutional Zcash adoption.
Grayscale has expanded access to in kind investments for its $ZCSH ETF.
What does that mean?
Eligible investors can contribute their existing $ZEC directly in exchange for ETF shares.
No need to sell their ZEC for cash first.
The minimum investment currently sits around $322,600.
This opens up another route for institutions and larger investors to bring Zcash exposure into traditional portfolios.
Custody.
Portfolio management.
Potential collateral use.
Another piece of financial infrastructure being built around $ZEC.
BIG development for Zcash.
Developers have agreed on the activation block for NU7.
Block 3,543,405.
Targeting November 5.
And this upgrade is significant.
75 second blocks become 25 seconds.
That's 3X faster block production.
Faster confirmations.
Improved transaction capacity.
Better infrastructure for private payments.
All while preserving Zcash's 21 million supply cap and existing halving schedule.
Final software integration is still required.
But $ZEC just moved another step closer to one of its biggest network upgrades.
86% of Zcash's latest $8.39M grant round went towards protocol and security work.
Let that sink in.
Roughly $7.2 MILLION.
Strengthening the protocol.
Fixing vulnerabilities.
Improving network security.
Funding critical infrastructure.
Including $1.5M for the researcher behind the Orchard vulnerability discovery.
This is where Zcash coinholders are directing serious capital.
Not just talking about building a stronger network.
Actually funding the work.
$ZEC
You're not bullish enough

Financial privacy shouldn't mean sacrificing the ability to prove a payment.
That's something Zcash developers are working to solve.
A new proposal outlines how Orchard and Ironwood transactions could support selective payment proofs.
Prove you authorised a specific payment.
Without exposing your entire wallet history.
Early prototype tests are encouraging.
But the complete system isn't live yet.
Think about what this could eventually mean for businesses, auditors and financial institutions.
Privacy AND verifiability.
