Zcash Develops Trustless Supply Audit After Orchard Vulnerability
Zcash is pursuing a method for trustless supply audits following a significant vulnerability in its Orchard component, according to an article by Crypto Adventure. Zooko Wilcox asserts that a network upgrade could enable the verification of effective circulating supply without reliance on coin holder activity, addressing concerns in the privacy-coin market.
What Happened
Zcash is advancing towards a new method for conducting supply audits after a vulnerability in its Orchard component raised significant concerns in the privacy-coin market. This incident has led to a reassessment of trust within the community.
Why It Matters
Zooko Wilcox, a key figure in Zcash's development, noted that a potential network upgrade could allow for a trustless verification of the circulating supply. This would eliminate the need to wait for coin holders to make transactions, thus providing a more reliable measure of the actual supply in circulation.
What to Watch
As Zcash works on implementing this upgrade, stakeholders will be closely monitoring developments to gauge the effectiveness of the proposed solution and its reception in the market. The upcoming decision could have significant implications for Zcash's credibility and overall market confidence.
