Zcash launches Quantum-Recoverable wallets within a month, fully post-quantum by 2027 Speaking at Consensus Miami, Josh Swihart (CEO of Zcash Open Development Lab) confirmed Zcash will ship quantum-recoverable wallets within a month and reach full post-quantum status in 12–18 months - making it the first major chain to ship a working defence against the "harvest now, decrypt later" threat. For comparison, Bitcoin's equivalent (BIP-360) is still a draft, with Polymarket pricing 2027 implementation odds at just 28%. The announcement comes amid a 110% ZEC rally over the past 30 days, fueled by a major investment from Multicoin Capital and renewed institutional interest. The shielded pool now sits at ~30% of circulating ZEC (ATH), bridges to Solana and Hyperliquid are live, and a separate proposal to cut block times from 75s to 25s is under active discussion. If quantum recoverability ships on time, the rally is being underwritten by adoption - not speculation. 🔗coindesk.com/tech/2026/05/08/zcash-to-roll-out-quantum-recoverable-wallets-within-a-month-go-quantum-proof-by-2027 Top 7 Ecosystem:Alpha| X | Aggregator
