Zcash developers plan per-swap keys to shield ZEC swaps from future quantum computers
- —Each ZEC swap via NEAR Intents would get a separate viewing key
- —Spending keys stay with users; only one swap's history is exposed
- —Refunds are located via private information retrieval without revealing addresses
- —Wallets such as Vizor could add the feature in the coming weeks
Why it matters: Refund addresses posted on NEAR currently link all payments of a Zcash account, and the fix closes that gap before quantum threats become real.
