Zcash's planned Sprout freeze would strand private keys unable to move funds
- —Sprout held about 22,309.44 ZEC as of Oct. 17
- —ZIP 2003 rejects version 4 transactions required for Sprout transfers
- —Mainnet NU7 decision due Oct. 20, with Nov. 5 as conditional target
- —Argos recovery may need a ~280 GB scan and days of processing
Why it matters: Sprout holders risk losing access to funds unless they exit the pool before NU7 activation.
