Hi everyone!

2024 has been a brilliant year for Zcash . Zashi wallet made leaps and bounds in providing a much needed high quality, user friendly way for people to purchase and use ZEC, Keystone and Ledger making shielded hardware storage a ZEC a reality, devs implementing the Zcash Lockbox in NU6 and Shielded Labs starting work to bring Hybrid Proof of Stake to Zcash holders 🚀

Looking into 2025 we can so expect much more! A reliable DEX with the Zashi + Ywallet integration of Maya Protocol swaps, the Zcash-Avalanche Redbridge, making ZEC accessible across several smart contract platforms, Network Upgrade 7 introducing Zcash Shielded Assets and possibly components of the Network Sustainability Mechanism - Huge things coming folks - Stay Shielded 🛡️

Thanks for subscribing to our newsletter! Catch the ZecHub 2025 Roadmap stream in the Zcash Global Discord January 7th 21:00 UTC 📅
