## Resource

Zcash just weathered a major crypto storm after a bug threatened to create unlimited fake coins, sending its market cap crashing to $5 billion. But founder Zooko Wilcox dropped a bold fix: Ironwood, an upgrade that lets users verify Zcash’s total supply — essentially building in a transparent audit system. The move has calmed markets, pushing the cap back up to nearly $7.5 billion. Ironwood also introduces shielded storage improvements, transaction safeguards, and AI-powered security checks — all while the team remains confident the bug was never exploited. Big supporters are calling it the upgrade the privacy coin space desperately needs. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
