Zcash developers plan a fix to keep ZEC swaps private from future quantum computers
The team behind Zakura wants every swap through NEAR Intents to get its own key, so a refund address left on NEAR’s public chain can’t expose a user’s wider payment history.
AI summary
The developers behind Zakura are proposing a fix so that every ZEC swap routed through NEAR Intents uses its own unique key, preventing a refund address left on NEAR's public chain from exposing a user's broader payment history. The change is framed as future-proofing against quantum computers that could eventually break current key privacy. This is a niche privacy upgrade for Zcash and NEAR Intents users rather than a market-moving event, though it modestly supports the privacy-coin narrative.
