Chris Ghent, Head of Communications, TQTezos Will Get Zcash’s Privacy Features in Next Upgrade Key features of the Zcash blockchain are going to be merged onto the Tezos blockchain, giving its users optional privacy. In brief: - Tezos developers have revealed the next upgrade proposal dubbed "Edo." - The implementation of Zcash's library Sapling will allow "shielding" transactions on Tezos. - Another new feature is a ticket system that allows smart contracts to grant portable permissions or issue tokens. Tezos developers Nomadic Labs, Marigold, and Metastate have revealed several proposals for the next upgrade, dubbed “Edo,” that will introduce new privacy features to the blockchain—alongside a slew of other improvements, according to an announcement published today. “No other major smart contract platform to this date supports this functionality but, because Tezos can be amended, it was possible for us to add this exciting new feature directly to Tezos itself,” the release explained. This comes just weeks after recent upgrade Delphi was introduced to the network. Read more: decrypt.co/49912/tezos-will-get-zcashs-privacy-features-in-next-upgrade

Chris Ghent, Head of Communications, TQTezos ‘Delphi’ Upgrade Slashes Gas Costs by 75% The Tezos blockchain has successfully implemented a new upgrade, dubbed Delphi, today. It’s designed to make the network more attractive for applications—including decentralized finance (DeFi) ones—by drastically reducing gas costs for operations. The Delphi upgrade will “typically” decrease gas consumption by around 75% thanks to a number of improvements to the blockchain’s Michelson interpreter. Additionally, storage costs are now four times lower. Read more about the Delphi update here: decrypt.co/48019/tezos-delphi-upgrade-slashes-gas-costs-by-75
