Zcash to roll out quantum-recoverable wallets within a month, go quantum-proof by 2027

Bitcoin no longer holds up as the cypherpunk-grade money it was meant to be, Zcash's Zooko Wilcox told an engaged audience. What to know : Zcash plans to introduce quantum-recoverable wallets within a month and aims to be fully post-quantum within 12 to 18 months, alongside a scaling push toward Visa- and Mastercard-level throughput. The roadmap comes alongside a 110% rally in ZEC over the past 30 days, fueled by a major Multicoin Capital investment and renewed interest in privacy-focused crypto. Adoption is being driven by cross-chain swaps into shielded ZEC via Near Intents and other upgrades, with the shielded pool now holding about 30% of circulating ZEC and proposals under discussion to cut block times and add token-holder voting.
