At the Electric Coin Company (ECC), we’re more than just a team; we’re pioneers at the forefront of cryptocurrency, driven by a mission to revolutionize the financial landscape. Our goal? To architect an infrastructure robust enough to underpin the Zcash ecosystem, paving the way for a decentralized future where individual privacy, consent, and security aren’t just valued—they’re integral. Most importantly, our efforts are dedicated to upholding the essence of human dignity in an increasingly digital age. To achieve these lofty ambitions, we’re channeling our energies into delivering digital cash that promises unprecedented privacy through Zcash, coupled with relentless innovation in our product offerings.
This relentless pursuit of innovation led us earlier this month to convene with the vibrant heart of our movement—the Zcash community. The Z|ECC Summit wasn’t just another meeting; it was a nexus of ideas, a breeding ground for priorities, both longstanding and newly minted. There, amidst the fervor of brainstorming and collaboration, we took the opportunity to refine our strategic roadmap. This roadmap isn’t just a document; it’s our pledge to catalyze Zcash adoption globally.
Our journey at the summit was enriched by invaluable insights from the latest Zcash user research presented by ZURE. Coupled with intensive workshops focused on usability and innovation, we left no stone unturned in our quest to enhance our strategic vision. These efforts culminated in the ratification of an updated ECC roadmap, a roadmap that embodies our response to the community’s feedback and our own reflection on ECC team strengths. It’s worth noting that this latest roadmap builds upon the foundations laid out in our previous version delivered this past April.
This refreshed roadmap is not just an update; it’s a beacon for our continued journey. Among the most significant changes is the rescheduling of the Zashi 2.0 release from October to January. This adjustment accommodates the integration of several groundbreaking features and capabilities, including seamless Flexa integration, a convenient Coinbase onramp, and a meticulously designed Zashi address book. But that’s not all. Our exploratory queue for Zashi has also been enriched with prospective features like polling and newsfeed functionalities. We regard everything in our “discovery” phase as potential candidates for development, with priorities meticulously reviewed on a quarterly basis.
Moreover, our commitment to advancing the Zcash network remains unwavering. Network upgrades such as NU6 and NU7 are progressing as planned, with activation slated for their previously announced dates. In tandem, we are overseeing the gradual deprecation of zcashd, ensuring a seamless transition for all stakeholders involved. Additionally, our endeavors to transition Zcash to a hybrid proof-of-stake consensus mechanism are momentarily on hold. This strategic pause allows us to collaborate with an external partner, a partnership we’re confident will expedite the project’s development and fruition. Expect more updates on this front shortly.
As we navigate these exciting developments, our vision for ECC and the Zcash community is crystal clear. We are not merely responding to the technological zeitgeist; we are actively shaping it, championing the principles of privacy, security, and dignity in an increasingly interconnected world. Our updated roadmap is more than a plan—it’s a declaration of our commitment to innovate, to elevate, and to empower individuals globally with digital cash that respects their privacy and autonomy.
