Dash goes shielded with Zcash's Orchard
It's live on mainnet. Dash (
@Dashpay) activated Orchard-based shielded pools on its Evolution chain. Sender, receiver and amount hidden, one-second confirmations, wallet sync in roughly 20 seconds.
Twelve years of PrivateSend coin mixing, now replaced by zero-knowledge proofs. CTO Samuel Westrich says the open source code went in easier than expected. Shielded stablecoins and assets are next on the list.
Biggest privacy upgrade in Dash's history. The market moved 1%.
