What’s cool about Zcash is that it can still change before ZEC becomes a real SoV. Chances are low but not 0. Bitcoin is set in stone. Zcash is still evolving. Now, Starknet proposes adding a STARK verifier so L2s can run on Zcash without touching the L1. Becoming a competitor not for just BTC but also for ETH. If ZEC ever wants to challenge BTC as a SoV, it can’t just be a little better. It has to be MUCH better. Main upgrades so far: • Sapling (2018) made private transactions with zk-SNARKs • Blossom (2019) reduced block time from 10min to 75s • Canopy (2020) 20% of block rewards goes to development (8% to Major Grants, 7% to Electric Coin Co by Zooko, 5% to Zcash Foundation) There are even discussions of shift away from PoW to PoS - a big NO NO for Bitcoiners. Bitcoiners would hate that. (p.s. correct if any of the hardfork info is wrong as I chatGPTed it).(Ignas | DeFi)
