ECC Roadmap: October 2024

ECC is committed to deliver digital cash through privacy protocol (Zcash) and product innovation. We believe this is the best strategy to support our mission of economic freedom, including the protection and preservation of individual privacy and consent, security, and human dignity.

Our ability to affect momentum requires agility and flexibility, and therefore, our roadmap is directive and unrestrained — not fixed, not rigid. As new information emerges, as we learn, we will improvise. As market conditions and other factors impact ECC revenue (positively or negatively), we will re-tune our approach, refocus our efforts, and step on the gas. We will move quickly, and strike where there is opportunity.

Some Highlights:

  • For Zashi, we’re finishing up version 1.x this quarter with several features, including Flexa integration, address rotation, and Spanish localization.
  • Version 1.2.1 for iOS will include an address book, new receive ZEC feature and bug fixes.
  • For Zashi 2.x, major features planned are Keystone hardware wallet integration, multi-account support, and liberated payments. 
  • Support for multiple accounts to use different wallets for saving and spending your ZEC
  • Conduct market research and explore the viability of a Zashi Vault product
  • ECC engineering efforts will heavily focus on features and activities in support of zcashd deprecation in collaboration with the Zcash Foundation, the Zingo! team, Pacu and others in the ecosystem ahead of NU7 as ZSAs will not be supported in zcashd. 
  • Our Zcash R&D efforts during the months ahead include short and long-term performance and scalability improvements to the protocol, support for third-party efforts, including Keystone and Brave, and improvements needed for Zashi and other wallets.
  • In conjunction with anticipated Zcash governance and funding conversations, we also plan to collaborate with the Zcash Foundation and the broader community on a disbursement mechanism for the lockbox that activates in NU6.

ECC Roadmap October 2024

The ECC roadmap will be updated quarterly, along with objectives and timelines, and we welcome your participation. If you have skills that can help us, we’d love to work with you. Twice a year, we’ll invite Zcash community developers to meet with us in person, to help us plan and adapt.
