Zcash Proposes New Privacy Layer to Guard Swaps From Quantum Risks

Zcash developer Zakura proposed a new privacy safeguard for Zcash swaps routed through Near Intents, using a one-key-per-swap design to prevent future quantum computers from linking an exposed refund address to a user's wider transaction history. The proposal is forward-looking, as quantum computers cannot currently break Zcash privacy. It is a technical privacy enhancement with no immediate price catalyst, though it signals continued development on the Zcash network.
