Josh Swihart, founder and CEO of the Zcash Open Development Lab, stated at the Consensus 2026 conference in Miami that Zcash plans to launch a quantum-recoverable wallet within one month and achieve full post-quantum security within the next 12 to 18 months, while simultaneously scaling to achieve transaction throughput levels comparable to Visa and Mastercard. Driven by Multicoin Capital’s disclosure of a major investment and growing interest in privacy narratives, ZEC has risen over 110% in the past 30 days. Additionally, following integration with Near Intents, users can now cross-chain swap assets such as BTC, SOL, and USDC into shielded ZEC; the corresponding channels have processed approximately $600 million to $700 million in funds since launch, with the current shielded pool accounting for about 30% of circulating ZEC.
