Today, we announce Zcash JS, the ultimate JavaScript Swiss-knife for building anything with Zcash.
This allows you to build a Zcash application for the web, server, or mobile, safely and securely, with top notch DX.
What can you build with it?
Anything, from wallets, light client, data dashboards, to anything that you can imagine.
We are committed to actively maintaining it and building an ecosystem of toolings and libraries around it.
Give it a try, links in the comment 👇

Zcash $ZEC is leading financial privacy by innovation.
Zcash funds its own development. 80% of mining rewards go to miners, with 20% flowing into R&D through the Dev Fund, keeping the ecosystem free from venture capital. That funding recently went toward Ironwood, a new pool with advanced privacy features.

Zcash ETFs buck the trend with $41.1M inflows while Bitcoin funds bleed $500M. $ZEC $BTC #Crypto Is this a rotation? 📉📈 thecurrencyanalytics.com/alt…

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.

The opportunity in digital assets is expanding, and our Q3 performance shows it.
Q3 was our strongest quarter of the year with net flows up ~$1.2B from Q2, and we ranked #1 in AUM among HYPE, Sui and Chainlink ETPs.¹
At our town hall, we recognized the team behind that progress. This quarter's results show what our teams can accomplish through shared ambition and focus.

Stablecoins solved the middle. The ends are still the problem.
A cross-border payment isn’t finished until someone holds local currency in a local bank.
Our CEO of @GTXNGlobal, Dan Kleinbaum will take a stage at Cross Border Payments Conference in Johannesburg to discuss why that’s a liquidity problem, not a chain problem. Johannesburg, 28 October.

Coin Center in Politico Decoded this morning.
Crypto is working its way into Wall Street. DC is embracing centralized issuers using blockchains. What’s lost in all this is the cypherpunk, private, self-sovereign original purpose of the technology. That’s what we fight for.
