As concerns about the potential impact of quantum computing on cryptocurrencies continue to grow, Zcash is making a push to position itself as a leader in post-quantum security. The company's developers have outlined plans to achieve full post-quantum status within 12 to 18 months, with the goal of launching quantum-recoverable wallets within the next month.
According to Josh Swihart, founder and CEO of Zcash Open Development Lab, the network is also aiming to increase its transaction throughput to match that of major payment processors like Mastercard and Visa. This move is seen as a key part of the company's strategy to become a more viable peer-to-peer payment system.
