How we’re making Zcash quantum unlinkable through the use of one-time IVKs! In this video, I talk about how sharing your shielded address opens you up to a specific quantum attack, and how we solved this linkage for a common feature you probably exposed yourself to already.

Zcash engineer Evan Forbes reveals upcoming improvements to Zcash's block propagation, targeting multi-gigabit throughput and significantly faster blocks “One of the bottlenecks is block propagation. So this is how big the block can get. The bigger you can make it, the higher throughput it is” “Zcash previously didn't really need that high of throughput or that low of latency. However it did need this robustness” “The first thing that we optimized for was just robustness. We didn't really have to think about throughput or latency” “However we can actually preserve that robust quality of where the network can kind of look however it needs to look in that moment and we can learn on the fly of what's the highest throughput and lowest latency path for the data to take” “We follow a few simple rules and from those rules even though we only have a local view, we can find the highest throughput lowest latency path or at least close” “This is coming to a testnet near you where we have this multi-gigabit throughput and much, much faster blocks”
