Oh snap! Another cryptography-expert startup announcing their focus on private mobile wallet privacy+UX+performance 🚀 for Zcash. Potential dovetail with Tachyon. Potential alternative? Zcash is at a dev network size/speed inflection point! Wanna know who/more? Come to Arborist calls. 😉

zec.rocks rewards Zcash lightwalletd operators! Sweet. I somehow missed that you can get rewards for running those. They are a privacy/performance lynchpin, so having more operators helps resist panopticon-style adversaries. Tachyon, IIUC, largely removes both the performance and privacy issues.

A bigger picture take-away I'm learning from Zcash Arborist is that some of the prior goals are getting pushed back a bit as multiple teams focus on performance and reliability with growing Zcash adoption and interest. Nice Problem To Have!

I'm learning about Project Tachyon for Zcash, which is a breakthrough in blockchain scalability. It's HYPE! "Wallifiers" are wallets that fully verify that the consensus state validly follows all of the transaction rules.

In the latest example of the set of Zcash contributors rapidly expanding and decentralizing, some new (to me) folks have shown up with a new (to me) full-source bootstrapped reproducible toolchain called StageX and are hardening major components. Especially crucial as supply chain attacks ramp up!
