Zcash rebounds 45 percent after Ironwood upgrade proposal

Imeripotiwa na AI Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Zcash has recovered about 45 percent from its recent low after developers proposed the Ironwood upgrade to address a supply verification issue. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency traded near $437 on Monday, though it remains down 22 percent for the week. The move comes after a patched bug in the Orchard pool triggered last week's sell-off.

Zcash activated a major network upgrade on June 3 that briefly caused block explorers to show no new blocks. Developers also suspended Orchard transactions to fix a privacy pool bug.

Zcash token ZEC dropped sharply after developers disclosed a vulnerability in the Orchard shielded pool that could have allowed undetected counterfeiting of tokens. The flaw, present since 2022, was found on May 29 using an AI model and patched by June 1. No evidence of exploitation was found, though privacy features prevent cryptographic proof.

A group of leading cryptographers convened by Coinbase has called for Bitcoin to begin preparing for potential quantum attacks, while refusing to take a stance on whether vulnerable coins should be frozen.
