Zcash announced a new roadmap in parallel to its rise.

The Zcash (ZEC) team announced new updates aimed at strengthening 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 caught attention as it surged from $37.5 in mid-September to $420.

The developer team Electric Coin Company (ECC) will focus on enhancements such as a temporary address system and hardware wallet compatibility in its new roadmap prepared for the fourth quarter of 2025, to facilitate users in making private transactions more easily. In this context, the use of ephemeral addresses will be provided for every ZEC transaction, thereby eliminating the risk of address reuse for users.

Additionally, features like re-sync support for Keystone hardware wallets, compatibility with 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, enhance privacy, and improve the Zashi user experience" in this quarter.

The demand for privacy-focused cryptocurrencies continues to rise. The updates developed by Zcash go hand in hand with the observed growth in the Zcash ecosystem. Zcash has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing Monero (XMR), the leader in the privacy sector, in market capitalization. The secret token supply in Zcash’s Orchard protocol has exceeded 4.1 million, setting a new record.

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