Completion of the Sapling MPC
Zcash’s next major upgrade, codenamed Sapling, will be activated later this year. One of our final goals before activation is
Announcing the Sapling MPC
Zcash’s shielded transactions rely on zk-SNARKs — small, fast-to-verify zero-knowledge proofs of arbitrarily complicated statements. These proving schemes rely on
Improved zk-SNARK Multi-party Computation Protocol
zk-SNARKs – the zero-knowledge proofs at the core of Zcash – require a parameter generation ceremony to take place for
New Release Candidate: Final zk-SNARK parameters
The Zcash team has been working to finalize the software for the launch of the Zcash blockchain. We are planning
The Design of the Ceremony
Update: Read our full summary of what took place in the Zcash Parameter Generation Ceremony. The Toxic Waste, and Other
Zcash Parameters And How They Will Be Generated
At its core, Zcash’s privacy technology relies on a novel cryptographic tool called a zkSNARK – a small zero-knowledge proof
How To Generate SNARK Parameters Securely
There are a lot of cryptographic challenges to making a fully secure and reliable open financial system. Our current top
