Zakura released an open-source cryptography toolkit called Zakura Common that significantly accelerates the construction of private Zcash transactions, reducing the time from over three seconds to under 200 milliseconds in many cases. The toolkit improves mobile proof generation by over 14 times and desktop performance by more than five times, along with faster hashing and verification processes. These enhancements help wallets and full nodes process transactions faster without requiring a network upgrade. Early adopters like Vizor Wallet have integrated the toolkit, and wider adoption depends on individual wallet developers. The update aims to improve user experience by speeding up privacy proof generation and transaction verification, although it does not affect block production times directly.
