Introducing the definitive guide to ZK in 2026. The year’s biggest questions pointed to ZK: Can we trust AI? Will quantum break encryption? Can private money live on public rails? How do we know what’s real online? Read how in the 2026 ZK Industry Report with @zeroknowledgefm.212616863.4K- SovrightRT @ZcashLabs: Today, we announce Zcash JS, the ultimate JavaScript Swiss-knife for building anything with Zcash. This allows you to build a Zcash application for the web, server, or mobile, safely and securely, with top notch DX. What can you build with it? Anything, from wallets, light client, data dashboards, to anything that you can imagine. We are committed to actively maintaining it and building an ecosystem of toolings and libraries around it. Give it a try, links in the comment 👇04203
- SovrightRT @sudo_ml: A few takeaways from our recent podcast with @DeFi_Dad 1) One man's paranoia is another man's peace of mind One of my favorite things about Zcash: I know how paranoid the people building it are. They spend their time thinking about edge cases most users never will. That’s a feature. Sometimes it feels like a bug (slow), but that's like saying pre-flight checklists are a drag on flying 🫠 2) Privacy is a basket of tools While I prefer Zcash, I want other privacy projects to succeed too. Supporting privacy means supporting people being able to configure their choices to their practical needs. Different transactions call for different guarantees and tradeoffs 🌻🪻🌸🪷🌼🌺 3) On our redemption arc Tidbit: when I joined the Sovright (fka ECC) board at the end of 2023, we agreed this was our last shot. Do or die. Runway was thin. For a long time, the job was staying alive. Now we, and the other Zcash orgs, can fund new work and bring in new, best-in-class talent. It's exciting! ☀️🚀 @sovright_ @zmanianDeFi Dad ⟠ defidad.eth @DeFi_Dad🎧 Listen/watch the new @Edge_Pod on Spotify featuring @sovright_ Project Lead @sudo_ml and Head of Engineering @zmanian.0303
