Mars Finance reports that Cypherpunk, the treasury entity behind ZEC, responded to market volatility surrounding the ZEC token on X, stating that all software contains vulnerabilities—historically, Bitcoin once experienced an error that led to the unintended minting of 184 billion BTC. However, this does not mean blockchain technology should be abandoned; rather, security should be strengthened through formal verification and provable correctness. Cypherpunk emphasized that as AI technology advances, vulnerability detection will become faster and more comprehensive, but the critical factor is who can identify issues before malicious actors do. Zcash demonstrates its capability in this regard through its upcoming update. Previously, the privacy coin ZEC faced heavy selling pressure after a security vulnerability capable of enabling infinite minting was disclosed, causing its price to drop over 50% in a single day.
