what is TEX address and why do we need it to transfer ZEC. why do wallets need update?
is this not the same address type as previously? visible address of Zec?
All of the discussion to answer this question is upthread, but it has been summarized and formalized in ZIP 320: Defining an Address Type to which funds can only be sent from Transparent Addresses

I can provide a quick update: Following feedback from Binance, we’ve chosen to implement the TEX Address option over the Unified Address option. Kris and Daira are finalizing the parsing logic and revising the ZIP 320 specification accordingly.
We’re planning to start rolling out this update to wallets, exchanges, and our SDKs beginning in March. The precise timeline for the rollout is still being finalized. We will provide a more detailed update with additional information in early mid March.

Thanks!
In various trainings I’ve given on Zcash these days people always prefer and opt for Binance, so it’s good to know this is in the works.

everything I bought from Zcash was through binance. In the country where I live, Binance is the cheapest and most intuitive way to buy cryptocurrencies.

i don’t get why it hasn’t changed, i thought they accepted the solution?
do we have to wait until implemented to not look like a scam in the middle of the bull market?

Please note that regardless of what technical solutions are implemented and what Binance’s current position is at the moment, they have a clear policy to include/exclude coins from the monitoring list starting in 2023. The revision happens exclusively in the first week of the new quarter. Previously, it happened on October 4th and January 4th:
“The list is updated on the 1st week of every quarter (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct).”

What can we do to help?
I think if the community increases engagement both on binance and social media, Binance would rethink delisting
Activity is important IMO

no worries, binance already said they won’t delist. People are only talking about removing the “monitoring” tag.
