Zcash developers unveil new protocol to cut private transaction times from seconds to milliseconds

The new cryptographic libraries address how long a user's device takes to construct a private payment, rather than block production speed. They are open source and require no upgrade to Zcash itself; wallet developers can adopt them on the current network. Per the article, Zakura moved to the new stack in version 1.3.0, with Vizor Wallet among early adopters. Zakura, launched in July, targets over 50,000 private transactions per second, while current wallets cap around one per second. Benefits reportedly include faster wallet syncing, quicker node transaction checks, and fewer orphaned blocks. The software already handles 25-second block times proposed for NU7.
