I remember a dinner not too long ago. We were in a room in a restaurant in Washington, DC. We were there to talk about privacy and policy. Some of us conservative, some of us liberal, breaking bread together.

One of the dinner guests brought up a controversial topic. I grew tense. Another dinner guest gently replied, “Let’s not go there. We may not agree on this issue, but we do agree that we need to protect people’s right to privacy.” The first dinner guest nodded. We enjoyed the time together over good food and wine, unified in purpose.

I think about that night often.

I came across this tweet today. It warmed my heart.

Inside the walls of ECC and across the Zcash ecosystem, we have different views on many things. And yet we are marked by love and respect for one another.

Our shared purpose is pure. At its heart is a deep respect for humanity. This community is building a world where people are free to express themselves, where they can feel secure, and where liberty is protected. And it is in our unified purpose that we find the resolve and resilience it is taking to realize it fully.

I’m proud to stand with you all.

Here’s how we were unified in purpose this week:

Zashi

I can’t wait for you all to get your hands on the Pay with ZEC and Swap to ZEC features in Zashi. I’ve been testing them and they are magic. One step closer to a new disintermediated financial system!

What we did:

  • We implemented feedback and fixes to the CrossPay flow. Coming to production on Tuesday. :crossed_fingers:t4::rocket:

  • We have built prototypes for the Swap to ZEC feature

  • We designed Zashi promo materials for the Dark Prague event.

What’s up next:

  • Test Swap to ZEC prototype, decide on, and implement production requirements.

  • Implement changes for confirmation configurability from the core team.

  • Focus on reviewing & finalizing all open designs.

Zcash Core

What we did:

  • Support for zcashd wallet import in librustzcash (librustzcash#1768).

  • Resolved a design blocker to get the Zallet alpha out (internal OVK handling), which we believe is the final blocker.

  • Resolved transaction version 6 format issues for ZSA issuance bundles.

  • Significant progress on zcash_script refactoring for better maintainability (zcash_script#254, zcash_script#259, zcash_script#209).

  • Released zcash_primitives version 0.24.1 to help with merging NSM PRs.

  • Progress on getting through the stack of ZIPs PRs (merged zips#1077, zips#1084, zips#1080).

What’s up next:

  • Release Zallet alpha.

  • Release Zcashd supporting NU6.1 on Mainnet.

  • Prepare draft ZIP for Quantum Resilience.

  • Finalize a guideline for the setup ceremony to generate the lockbox disbursement address for Mainnet.

  • Limited-use transparent address rotation to improve privacy for the NEAR Intents and Coinbase Onramp integrations (librustzcash#1939).

Onward.
