Halo Arc for Zcash proposed for release later this year Electric Coin Co. (ECC) today announced Halo Arc for Zcash, a product suite to launch the next generation of Zcash. It includes updates to Zcashd, the ECC Reference Wallet apps and the ECC wallet SDKs. Halo Arc leverages two upcoming Zcash improvements: Network Upgrade 5 (NU5) and unified addresses. NU5 will move Zcash to the Halo proving system, representing the continual evolution of our zk-SNARK technology stack. Halo removes the need for the trusted setup and upgrades the protocol’s underlying cryptography. Unified addresses, a complementary feature, introduce a future-proof address format that prioritizes shielded adoption. Later this week, we’ll release a blog post with a deeper explanation of unified addresses, how they work and what it means for supporting Zcash users to shield by default. electriccoin.co/blog/halo-arc-for-zcash-proposed-for-release-later-this-year/
