Zcash developer Zakura has introduced "one-time" viewing keys to prevent future quantum computers from linking users' shielded Zcash payments, particularly targeting risks from swaps via NEAR Intents where shielded addresses are exposed on a public chain. This solution, which requires no network upgrade, isolates each address with a unique viewing key, so if one is compromised, others remain secure. Wallets using Zakura's open-source libraries, like Vizor, will adopt this feature soon, with hardware wallets to follow. This move is part of Zcash's broader plan to achieve full post-quantum privacy within 12 to 18 months, addressing growing concerns about quantum and AI threats to cryptographic security.
