Zcash Developers Target January for Quantum-Resistant Public Payments

Zcash developers have set a January target for quantum-resistant public payments, according to CoinDesk. The plan follows a scare described as “bunker mode.”

The proposed changes focus on public payments, a significant part of the network: roughly 70% of ZEC is held in that portion of the system.

A separate wallet tool would address privacy during balance checks. It is intended to prevent those checks from exposing links between addresses belonging to the same wallet.
