We were at Zcon7, the annual Zcash $ZEC conference, last week.
From proposed consensus upgrades to network security, governance, and private payments, discussions focused on strengthening Zcash’s foundations and expanding its real-world utility.
Our three takeaways from hening the case for financial privacy.
2. The Zcash community pairs a drive to innovate with deep conviction around privacy and self-sovereignty.
3. Aligning holders, miners, and developers on governance and funding remains critical to execution.
Onwards.

Aayush Giri (@AayushStack) has joined Shielded Labs as a Forward Deployed Engineer on our Zero team!
He will help build and support Zcash infrastructure for exchanges, mining pools, wallet providers, and other ecosystem partners.
Aayush is based in India and joins us from Nethermind, where he started as a research engineer building a proof of concept of LatticeFold, a lattice-based folding scheme. He later became a Senior Developer Relations Engineer focused on Starknet and Aztec.
We discovered Aayush through his contributions to the Zcash community. He runs a shielded testnet faucet backed by his own node and solo miner, which allows it to produce and distribute test coins without relying on another operator’s infrastructure. He also built Speedrun Zcash, a set of hands-on challenges for developers learning to build on Zcash.
Please join us in welcoming Aayush!

Just left the @Zcash World event wondering if the blockchain is more private than my group chat. 🦓
Huge thanks to @ZcashIND for organizing such a wonderful event & for the airdrops & super cool swags ⚡️
Loved the detailed and engaging session on the Zcash ecosystem by @jatinsaconversations with @KunwarAnirudhS3 about opportunities to contribute and build.
Real $ZEC, real conversations, real energy. Privacy feels a lot more tangible after today.

$ZEC just set another high on @THORChain yesterday, with $830K in swap volume.
It’s the first full day since dynamic fees were switched off, so no swaps got a fee discount.
$ZEC fees hit a record of $2K.

$ZEC on @THORChain did $242K in swap volume on its first full day after trading resumed.
Its biggest day since launch, over 4x the old high.
That’s 4.5x the pool’s $53.5K depth. 🔥
