Zcash creator ECC unveils Q4 2025 roadmap as privacy token’s price and shielded supply surge

The Block
ECC released its Q4 2025 roadmap, focusing on privacy and usability enhancements for Zcash, amid significant price and shielded supply growth.

Summary

Electric Coin Co. (ECC), the developer of Zcash (ZEC), has announced its roadmap for the fourth quarter of 2025, coinciding with a substantial increase in the privacy token's price and shielded supply. The roadmap outlines four main priorities: integrating ephemeral addresses for ZEC swaps via the NEAR Intents protocol, generating new transparent addresses after funds are received, enabling Keystone hardware wallet resyncs, and supporting Pay-to-Script-Hash (P2SH) multisig wallets in Keystone, which will be used to secure Zcash developer funds. ECC stated its focus is on reducing technical debt, improving privacy and usability for the Zashi wallet, and ensuring smooth developer fund management. These updates build upon recent releases like Zashi's decentralized on-ramp and off-ramp features. The announcement comes as Zcash's price has surged from $50 in mid-September to around $420, and its shielded supply in the Orchard protocol has surpassed 4.1 million tokens.
