Zcash Announced a New Roadmap in Parallel to Its Rise.

The Zcash (ZEC) team has announced new updates that will strengthen its privacy-focused ecosystem. The token price, which has shown a 1200% increase in the last two months, has generated significant interest among investors. The ZEC price drew attention by rising from around $37.5 in mid-September to $420.

The developer team, Electric Coin Company (ECC), is focusing on developments such as a temporary address system and hardware wallet compatibility to make it easier for users to conduct private transactions in its new roadmap prepared for the fourth quarter of 2025. In this context, ephemeral address usage will be provided for each ZEC transaction, thereby eliminating the risk of address reuse for users.

Additionally, innovations such as resynchronization support for Keystone hardware wallets, compatibility for Pay-to-Script-Hash (P2SH) multi-signature systems, and multisig wallet integration for the security of developer funds will also be part of the roadmap. ECC is aiming to “reduce technical debt, increase privacy, and enhance the Zashi user experience” this quarter.

Demand for privacy-focused cryptocurrencies continues to rise. The updates developed by Zcash are in sync with the growth observed in the Zcash ecosystem. Zcash has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the market capitalization of Monero (XMR), a leader in the privacy space. The secret token supply in Zcash’s Orchard protocol has also broken a new record, exceeding 4.1 million units.

This increase highlights users' preferences for anonymous transactions and also raises interest in zero-knowledge proof technology. As ECC expands the network's privacy capacity, it aims to provide users with a more secure experience in decentralized off-ramp and swap transactions. While investors continue to monitor the Zcash ecosystem, they should pay attention to how these developments will impact their investment strategies.
