In my opinion the game-changing potential of ZSAs is bottlenecked by the lack of a bridge to Zcash, and delays are thus not that important. I think most people who look forward to ZSAs are looking forward the most to a shielded stablecoin. I don’t think we will get an issuer to issue directly on Zcash, so we will probably need to bridge it. The bridge closest to completion is the [Red Bridge](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-elastic-subnet-bridge-on-avalanche/44220/48) to Avalanche, but it isn’t designed with ZSAs in mind. Maybe @mrkit2u can comment on whether it is feasible to have a bridge that supports bridging stablecoins to Zcash in time for NU7.
