Zcash (ZEC) has surged 13.3% to $462.33 following a major security fix and upcoming Ironwood network upgrade scheduled for July 21, 2026. The upgrade closes the vulnerable Orchard shielded pool, replacing it with a new audited version to prevent counterfeit transactions. This follows a critical flaw discovered in May that caused a 50% price drop. Market analysts see potential for further gains toward $680 if resistance at $500–$520 is broken. The upgrade also enhances supply transparency and quantum threat protections, with full integration expected before launch.
