Zcash plans quantum-recoverable wallets within a month

English

Zcash announced plans to introduce quantum-recoverable wallets within a month and achieve full post-quantum security by 2027. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency also outlined scaling upgrades during an event in Miami.

Zcash Open Development Lab founder and CEO Josh Swihart detailed the roadmap at Consensus Miami on Thursday. The project will launch quantum-recoverable wallets soon and reach full post-quantum status within 12 to 18 months, he said. A separate track targets Visa- and Mastercard-level transaction throughput on the same timeline.
