Bridging ZEC for DeFi and Payments
summary
Prototype runs as a three-node oracle subnet on Avalanche Fuji that reaches consensus on Zcash block contents and offers a one‑click verification history, and the bridge wraps ZEC into an Avalanche token Z.Z usable via MetaMask. Design uses FROST threshold signing with a planned 70% stake threshold for moving funds, written in Go, integrates Zebra as an oracle, targets late Q3 2024 testnets, expects ~20-minute confirmation without insurance and offers instant UX via short‑term insurance and forthcoming beta testing.
