Town Hall - Technical Roadmap for Zcash
summary
A working ZSAs alpha testnet exists for issuance and transfers, but fee rules are unresolved and a large PR must land to merge ZSAs into mainline nodes; a separate effort implements asset swaps so two assets can exchange atomically. A draft hybrid proof‑of‑stake called the trelloing finality layer aims to add finality without disrupting miners, but timelines depend on multi‑asset decisions and liquid‑staking design. Security plans stress audits, incident‑response coordination, and handling 30k ZEC in Sprout as Sprout is being deprecated.
