🚨 Zcash Just Patched a Critical Bug!
Zcash ($ZEC ) rolled out an emergency fix for a major flaw in its Orchard privacy pool, and the network held strong! 💪 Even as the broader crypto market dipped, ZEC climbed 5% to $596.
🔹 What happened? A soundness bug in the Orchard circuit could have allowed undetected value creation.
🔹 The Fix: Upgrades Zebra 4.5.3 and 5.0.0 temporarily paused and then restored Orchard with a corrected circuit.
🔹 The Result: Zero funds lost, total supply intact, and transparent/Sapling transactions never stopped.
🔹 Market Reaction: While Bitcoin slid, ZEC defied the trend, fueled by growing privacy coin demand and ETF rumors.
Node operators have been urged to upgrade immediately. The network coordination proved solid despite brief confusion over explorer lags. 🛡️🚀
