Hey all. We’re preparing a lot of stuff already on the BD side of things. Thanks to Maya Protocol being part of SwapKit, expect decentralised and permissionless cross-chain swaps to be available in major projects, such as Ledger and Onekey. If you you’re interested to integrate Maya’s cross-chain swaps into your dapp, hit me up!

Sounds like we are close to going live here based on recent updates from Maya team. V111 officially live with XRD integration. V112 coming as a fast follow with a little housekeeping. V113 Zcash integration +++.

Question: are there plans to seed initial liquidity of the ZEC/CACAO pool? I did a quick read here again, but didn’t see anything noted.

So generally seeding the pool is quite a natural process. The team will seed a bit, and we hope to reach the Zcash community in depositing some liquidity as well.

We’ll be starting to make preparations for marketing, as well as preperations for integrators to be ready for the integration.

^Wanted to add to this:

In case you’re interested in providing initial liquidity in the ZEC/CACAO pool, shoot me a dm here on the forum 🙂

It is in the hands of the @mayaprotocol team. They are busy on the release of the current version. zcash is next.

Any update on this matter? I am really excited to use Maya to test out swapping directly into shielded Zcash on my Keystone!

Work continues. There was a shift to another technology stack but now it is easier to integrate the zcash logic.

The Maya team and I are working on the integration of the Maya zcash library and the bifrost . This is progressing steadily without major issues.

Thanks

I have a couple of technical questions that I don’t understand:

“• Solution: payment disclosures to prove delivery (not fully supported in Orchard yet)  
• Sprout and Sapling will be supported earlier. Orchard might come later.”

Orchard really doesn’t support the functionality that Sprout has for example?  
Do we even need support for Sprout?

FYI @str4d @daira
