Signals To Watch

  • zk-SNARK technology enables fully shielded transactions where sender, receiver, and amount are all encrypted
  • Selective disclosure allows users to share transaction details with auditors while maintaining default privacy
  • Unified Addresses (NU5 upgrade) simplify the UX of using shielded transactions

Risk Checklist

  • Privacy coins face exchange delistings and regulatory bans in multiple jurisdictions (Japan, South Korea, Australia)
  • Majority of ZEC transactions use transparent (non-shielded) addresses, undermining the privacy value proposition
  • Electric Coin Company's development fund from block rewards expires, creating long-term funding uncertainty
