Zcash CEO Josh Swihart revealed at Consensus 2026 that the full blockchain upgrade is on track to be completed within 12 to 18 months. The network upgrade will enhance post-quantum security. The Zodl wallet will also introduce a token holder voting feature, enabling users to express protocol preferences directly from their wallets. The governance model will remain consensus-based.

According to ME News, on May 8 (UTC+8), Josh Swihart, founder and CEO of the Zcash Open Development Lab, stated at the "Consensus 2026" conference in Miami that the full post-quantum protocol upgrade for Zcash is expected to be completed within 12 to 18 months. Additionally, the team will integrate a token holder voting feature into Zodl (formerly Zashi wallet), which will not replace the current rough consensus-based governance mechanism but will allow users to directly express their opinions on the protocol’s direction from within the wallet.
