Summary
Zcash is racing to match Visa’s speed—processing 50,000+ transactions per second—thanks to its new, lightning-fast node, Zakura, which slashes transaction data like a rap verse packed with punch. Alongside Tachyon’s cryptographic magic that verifies batches with one proof, Zcash is also rolling out Ironwood to lock down shielded pools after a serious security scare exposed counterfeit coins. Set to launch July 28, Ironwood acts as a gatekeeper to ensure only real Zcash circulates, restoring trust as Zcash transforms from a sluggish privacy tool into a global payment powerhouse.
