Zakura adds PIR privacy for Zcash transparent addresses

  • —PIR lets a wallet query a server without revealing which address it is checking
  • —A Zcash transparent address hides its public key behind a hash, revealed only when spending
  • —Activity filters take about 15 KB per 10,000 payment scripts
  • —The PIR component arrives in Vizor this week; post-quantum pools are slated for January
Why it matters: It reduces metadata leakage during address monitoring and prepares Zcash for quantum threats, strengthening privacy and network trust.
