Zcash prepares post-quantum wallet protection for January

  • —Post-quantum signatures based on cryptographic hashes will ship in Zakura in January
  • —Transparent Zcash addresses hold 11.96 million ZEC, over 70% of the supply
  • —Ethereum researcher Justin Drake warned AI could break cryptography faster than expected
  • —Ethereum targets a broader move to quantum-resistant crypto by December 2029
Why it matters: Quantum risk is becoming a planning factor for L1 networks, and Zcash is the first to move from debate to concrete deadlines.
