Project Tachyon: Scaling Zcash with Oblivious Synchronization.

Succinct ZKPs are one of those things for which even seasoned veterans who have worked with the math for over a decade still occasionally pause and reflect: "I can't believe this actually works.". Sometimes it feels like it wouldn't but for the hand of God pushing the pencil.

This is a totally different vantage point for Zcash to be working from. We're starting from something that is already extremely private toward something that *also* scales to the entire world. That's why world experts in cryptography and privacy believe in Zcash and few others.

There are ways to improve, particularly at the boundaries where it comes into contact with the rest of the world. But to be certain about your privacy you *must* start by using shielded Zcash. You almost cannot even begin otherwise.

For example, there is no quantum computer or powerful AI that will be able to look back at the Zcash blockchain 1000 years from now and figure out who made every fully shielded transaction. That information, among other things, never even touches the ledger. It's already gone.

In many ways Zcash's shielded transactions bump up against the information-theoretic boundary of what it means for something to be private. It's not perfect but in many meaningful ways we simply cannot make it any "more private.".

Zcash is humanity's first mathematically fungible asset. Much like when time and space switch places in a black hole, when money crosses the event horizon of a shielded pool its history begins an unstoppable, monotonic march toward indistinguishability.

"Sender privacy" is anonymity. "Transaction graph tracing" is deanonymization. "Recipient anonymity set" is gibberish.

RT @jswihart: I just swapped a bit of shielded Zcash for Solana in @zashi_app via @NEARProtocol . Seamless. Coming soon. .
