Here are the latest updates from ECC:

- [ZIP 1014](https://zips.z.cash/zip-1014) was finalized earlier this week. Kudos to everyone involved!

- February’s community Zeal call was earlier this week. We were joined by Stephanie Whited from Tor. Here is the [slide deck](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1J0uYhP9LnHvtWMmYYYkKR4LXDWbO9aIFiOX0Lq46xD4/edit?usp=sharing) and [video recording](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_Sgyaroc_A&list=PLVm6KZ09QEQyHmGPJk2AOE0TSwzZcyenP&index=3&t=0s). Our next Zeal Community Call will take place on Tuesday, March 31st at 1 pm EST. This will be a more **technical call** focusing ZecWallet and spotlighting the work of Least Authority. [Learn more.

- In case you missed it, Zcash Foundation posted a [blog](https://www.zfnd.org/blog/decoding-bitcoin-messages-with-tokio-codecs/) explaining how they used Tokio’s codec functionality to implement the Bitcoin wire protocol. Interesting stuff!

- 🚨 Community Request 🚨 Zcash’s [wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zcash) could use a bit of an update. I’ll be spending some time next week editing the content but I wanted to invite you all to contribute.

- Dates to remember

**This week in privacy** has been pretty quiet. NPR did a story on the Trump administration’s campaign against [warrant-proof encryption](https://www.npr.org/2020/02/21/805032627/trump-administration-targets-your-warrant-proof-encrypted-messages). Meanwhile, the EU commission is embracing encryption at least internally and telling staff to [switch from Whatsapp to Signal](https://decrypt.co/20326/eu-commission-is-stepping-up-its-privacy-game). Westworld fans were recently alerted of [Privacy Act of 2039](https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/02/westworld-is-pretty-sure-well-get-a-privacy-law-in-the-next-20-years/), a fictional privacy law that hits a little too close to home.

In crypto news, Supersonic research got a [nice write-up](https://cointelegraph.com/news/defi-can-now-choose-to-run-trustless-zero-knowledge-proofs) in Cointelegraph. The Eth community, privacy is a main part of their [roadmap](https://docs.ethhub.io/ethereum-roadmap/privacy/) and they seem to be keen to find ways to [collaborate with Zcash!](https://twitter.com/DarrenMills/status/1233123123995672576). Coinbase wrote about the trials, tribulations and ultimately payoff to switching their mobile sign-up process to [React Native](https://blog.coinbase.com/onboarding-thousands-of-users-with-react-native-361219066df4). HT to @joshs and @aserrano for the links. Happy Friday y’all! 🤠
