Zcash Q4 Roadmap: New Addresses & Keystone Wallet Upgrades
Electric Coin Company (ECC) has published its Zcash Q4 roadmap, introducing four major upgrades to boost privacy and usability. The Zcash roadmap adds ephemeral transparent addresses for NEAR Intents swaps and rotates transparent addresses after fund receipt. It also enables Keystone hardware wallet resyncing and disconnection, and integrates Pay-to-Script-Hash (P2SH) multisignature support. ECC will deploy a multisig wallet to secure developer funds. These updates follow August’s off-ramp and October’s on-ramp releases. With ZEC rallying from $50 to $420 and Orchard’s shielded supply surpassing 4.1 million ZEC, the Zcash roadmap aims to sustain momentum. Enhanced privacy measures and hardware wallet integrations solidify Zcash’s position among privacy coins.
Bullish
The Q4 roadmap delivers significant privacy enhancements and hardware wallet support, key factors that historically boost trader confidence and token demand. Short-term, the introduction of ephemeral transparent addresses and P2SH multisig in Keystone may attract volume as users seek secure, private transactions. Long-term, streamlined fund management via a multisig wallet and ongoing infrastructure upgrades reduce technical debt and strengthen network reliability, reinforcing ZEC’s position in the privacy coin sector and supporting sustainable price growth.
