Message signing is a critical feature for Zcash. This is what enables “Connect Wallet” across DeFi applications like Near Intents. The reason that Zcash users can’t login to websites with their wallets today is that the standard for Orchard message signing has not been defined yet.
I welcome feedback on my attempt at bringing “Connect Wallet” to Zcash in my first ZIP draft, Orchard Address Signatures, which will hopefully bring awareness and help us chart a path towards enabling message signing for Zcash users.
Commenters, please leave feedback in the ZIP’s thread.

Thank you Jason for encouraging more people to submit ZIPs, the post above really inspired me to put my head down and get this ready for submission.
