Zcash developers target January for quantum-resistant payments after 'bunker mode' scare

  • —Post-quantum signature opcodes are targeted to land in Zcash in January
  • —Transparent transactions hold about 70% of issued ZEC — 11.96 million of 16.98 million
  • —Shielded payments require separate quantum-resistance safeguards
  • —An experimental private balance-query feature is available in the Vizor wallet
Why it matters: Quantum threats to wallet keys are drawing growing attention, and Zcash is moving to protect the largest share of its coins ahead of rivals.
