Milestone 1 Deliverables - All Complete
| # | Deliverable | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unified Address Decoder | Done |
| 2 | Mempool Explorer | Done |
| 3 | Accurate Fee Calculation (transparent, shielded, mixed) | Done |
| 4 | Supply & Circulating Supply APIs | Done |
| 5 | WASM Decryption Module (npm package) | Done |

All 8 deliverables pass a 29-check automated verification script: verify.js
What Was Built
Unified Address Decoder
Visit any UA on CipherScan and it decodes into its component receivers (Orchard, Sapling, Transparent) in a tabbed interface. Example: cipherscan.app/address/u1fh3kwyl9…
Mempool Explorer
Live view of unconfirmed transactions from Zebra. cipherscan.app/mempool
Fee Calculation
Our Rust indexer now correctly computes fees for all transaction types, including fully shielded and mixed transactions using valueBalance fields. Fees are cross-referenced against 3xpl and Blockchair and match ZIP-317 expectations.
Supply APIs
Public endpoints for integrators:
GET /api/supply— pool breakdown (transparent, sprout, sapling, orchard, lockbox)GET /api/circulating-supply— plain text (CoinGecko/CMC compatible)GET /api/circulating-supply?format=json— JSON with maxSupply
WASM Decryption Module
Published as @cipherscan/zcash-decoder on npm (v1.0.6). Decrypt shielded memos entirely client-side, your viewing key never touches our servers. cipherscan.app/decrypt
Decode & Broadcast Tools
Decode raw transaction hex client-side at /tools/decode. Broadcast signed transactions via /tools/broadcast. All accessible from the Developer Tools hub.
Infrastructure & Backend Work
- Rust Indexer: Fixed fee calculation for shielded and mixed transactions.
- Testnet Parity: Testnet now runs all the same as mainnet.
UI/UX Improvements
- Refreshed color scheme
- Network node map with Zcash-themed color tiers
- Tooltips on all network stats with sentence-case formatting
- Privacy widget layout improvements on the homepage
- Updated favicon and icons for crisp rendering at all sizes
- Improved light mode contrast
- SEO fixes
