Dear all, after some time, please find our monthly update (sorry that we skipped one, between time off and initial development, there was not a lot to update on).
The last two months we have done important progress, ironing out many details of the design of the protocol and the circuit. Specifically,
-
We have created a pull request with the draft versions of
- ZIP 226: Transfer and Burn of Zcash Shielded Assets
- ZIP 227: Issuance of Zcash Shielded Assets
- In order to comment on these, please use either issue #618 or the review functionality on the pull request itself. Note, for high-level or design comments, use the issue.
-
We have been advancing at a good pace with the implementation of the protocol
- The transfer protocol changes are pretty advanced - see repo
- The client implementation (RPC) for the ZSA functionality is also advancing well - see repo’s main branch
- We are also getting started with the issuance implementation, having already implemented the issuance key structure - see this pull request
-
We are advancing with the ZIP for the fee mechanism, though we do not feel like we are ready to share the draft. More on this soon!
-
We are getting ready to present our work and progress at Zcon3!! We will have one session with concrete design overview, updates and (hopefully) a demo. And we will also host an interactive discussion on the future applications and protocol design for the Zcash blockchain (i.e.: towards real programmability). Do not miss it out.
We are hear to answer any questions!
Thank you all,
The QEDIT team.
