Zcash Developer Zakura Proposes Fix to Stop Quantum Computers Linking Shielded Swaps
Zakura says a single published Zcash address could let a future quantum attacker link every payment a wallet has ever received.
Zakura, a Zcash developer, has proposed a fix aimed at preventing future quantum computers from linking shielded swap transactions. The concern is that a single published Zcash address could allow a quantum attacker to connect every payment a wallet has ever received, undermining the privacy guarantees of shielded transactions. This is a forward-looking privacy and security proposal rather than an immediate market catalyst, so it is unlikely to move ZEC price on its own.
