Zcash Quantum Defense Exposes Hidden Wallet Privacy Risk

  • —Zakura targets quantum-resistant Zcash signatures by January 2027
  • —Address rotation limits public-key exposure but does not make funds fully quantum-resistant
  • —Private information retrieval (PIR) lets wallets check balances without sending a readable address list
  • —A filter covering 10,000 payment scripts requires roughly 15 KB of data
Why it matters: Zcash's quantum defense could leak privacy through wallet infrastructure, a critical issue for a privacy-focused asset.
