Tachyon aims to significantly reduce the onchain data required per shielded payment.
Using recursive proof carrying data to aggregate transactions, evolving nullifiers to prevent double-spending & oblivious synchronization to limit full node state growth.

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.

Zcash's Blossom upgrade (2019) halved block time from 150 to 75 seconds ⏱️
This reduced the 500-block Sprout to Sapling pool migration interval from 20.8 to 10.4 hours.
Network Upgrade 7 (November 5th) reduces block time again from 75 to 25 seconds & disables Sprout transactions.
Sprout ZEC should migrate to Sapling before activation.
Ironwood introduced quantum recoverable shielded notes to Zcash.
ZIP 2005 reserves 0x0A (decimal 10) as a pseudorandom function domain separator.
A small cryptographic detail in a much larger effort to future proof against possible quantum threats.

The block will be mined using Zcash's Proof-of-Work algorithm - Equihash.
Miners use a series of collision-finding stages to construct valid solutions, securing the network through computational work.
With parameters n = 200 and k = 9, Equihash operates on 200-bit values divided into 10 segments of 20 bits each.
