Zcash activated its Ironwood upgrade on July 28, 2026, introducing a new shielded pool with notes designed to support fund recovery if quantum computers break current cryptography. The upgrade changes note formats and reserves cryptographic markers to prepare for future recovery mechanisms, but it does not yet provide quantum resistance or a complete recovery system. Older funds in Sprout, Sapling, and Orchard pools lack this protection, and developers are still working on finalizing the recovery protocol and enhancing transaction security. This marks a key step in Zcash's staged approach to quantum readiness, focusing on how shielded funds are recorded and recovered rather than immediate quantum-proof security.
