Professor @DavidKChuenLEE has been a long time supporter of @Zcash - Sovright is delighted to engage with him.
Had a great time discussing @zcash's opportunities with @GFI_charter and @Grayscale @token2049
Soundbites:
1. Institutions: Grayscale Zcash ETF (ZCSH) among top 1% of ETF launches, reaching $1 bn net assets within a month in September 2026
(scope: ETF launches in past 10 years, i.e. ~4,000 funds) @Krista_Lynch_
2. Marketing: Zcash has been great at doing deep tech and hard math, but marketing is not our strong suit (heh). We need quality new blood to help us with telling the story to more users, more regulators @DavidKChuenLEE
3. Decentralizing: Zcash has achieved @zooko's longtime vision of decentralizing across multiple orgs, including (but not limited to!) @sovright_ @ZcashFoundation @ShieldedLabs @ebfull @zkDragon @ValarGroup
4. Pricacy spicy take: not every market cares as much about privacy. Spreading the privacy message globally requires thoughful in-market engagement

Zcash now has two independent full-node implementations enforcing the same rules:
Zebra: github.com/ZcashFoundation/z…
Zakura: github.com/zakura-core/zakur…
Does a second client actually change how decentralized the network is, or is hashpower still the only thing that matters? $ZEC
Join us on Monday in Singapore to talk about Zcash going institutional - finally!
Financial privacy just went institutional. Regulators are paying attention.

Sovright welcomes Colby Thomson to its Board of Directors.
Colby has spent more than a decade working across human rights, financial privacy, and AI safety, with a consistent focus on protecting individual autonomy as technology advances. Since 2016, he has served on the board of the Human Rights Foundation (@HRF), helping support privacy and free-expression tools for people living under repressive governments. He is also the founder and CEO of the Good Ancestor Foundation, which funds work across digital security, AI, biosecurity, resilience and human rights.
He brings to the Sovright Board his extensive governance experience along with a deep understanding of how privacy infrastructure protects individual autonomy.
Alan Fairless @alanfairless co-founded SpiderOak in 2006 with one rule built into the product: not even SpiderOak could read what its users stored.
That model earned praise from Edward Snowden. Alan later brought that experience to Zcash governance, and now to Sovright’s Board of Directors.
Christina Garman @CryptoGPS co-authored Zerocash, the 2014 paper that became the basis of Zcash.
Today, she’s a leading researcher in TEE security, most recently authoring the breakthrough tee.fail exploit. She’s an associate professor at Purdue. She serves as a member of Sovright’s Board of Directors.
What nodes are Zcash miners actually using to produce blocks?
Sovright Relay now tracks which node implementation mined each block, giving the ecosystem a real-time view into node adoption across the network.

There's an entire "waiting" screen in Zcash wallets that users don't need to see anymore because it's so fast now.
Try it out today only in @vizorwallet!
“It is meaningfully different to be a Zcash user today than literally six weeks ago.”
Dev Ojha (@zkDragon) joins me to discuss Zcash’s security and UX improvements since Ironwood went live:
- A quantum-recoverable, formally verified shielded pool
- Proving optimizations
- Onboarding links from @vizorwallet
- Ledger integration for shielded ZEC
Which Zcash node should you run?
Now you can compare them using live network data instead of guessing.

Sudo has been a strong advocate for privacy and served on Zcash’s first grant committee in 2021. She brings 20 years of experience working across investment roles and technology startups. She was Anchorage Digital’s first business hire, helping take it from pre-product to its first $1bn in AUM.
Today @sudo_ml serves as Chairman and Project Lead of Sovright, focused on technology that preserves human agency.
