One of the most surprising developments is that the vulnerability was reportedly discovered by security researcher Taylor Hornby using Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8 AI model alongside a custom auditing framework.

Researchers claim they successfully created counterfeit ZEC in a controlled local test environment before the issue was urgently patched by developers.

To rebuild trust, Shielded Labs has now proposed a new network upgrade and shielded pool upgrade called “Ironwood,” aimed at allowing stronger public verification of $ZEC supply integrity.
