Key Takeaways
BlockchainReporter notes Zakura Common reduces Zcash private transaction construction times significantly without network upgrades.
According to BlockchainReporter, the team behind the Zcash node Zakura has released Zakura Common, a collection of cryptography libraries designed to reduce the time wallets spend constructing private transactions. The project reports that mobile proof generation is now more than 14 times faster, desktop generation over five times faster, Sinsemilla hashing over 21 times faster, and zk-SNARK verification between four and eight times faster. These optimizations allow many users to wait under 200 milliseconds instead of more than three seconds.
BlockchainReporter noted that these performance improvements do not require a network upgrade, allowing wallet developers to adopt the open-source libraries under MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses on the existing network. Zakura has updated to version 1.3.0 using the new stack, and Vizor Wallet is among the early integrations. Zcash cofounder Sean Bowe stated that shielded wallets utilizing Zakura Common and full nodes like Zakura will benefit. Following the release, ZEC rose about 5% to near $839 before easing alongside a broader market pullback.
