Bitcoin’s privacy flaws were expected to be fixable through cryptography.
“Bitcoin had major privacy flaws that were going to be eventually fixed with cryptography.”

Transparent-ledger privacy risks will worsen substantially in coming years.
“in the coming years, I think it's going to get much worse”

Users should move away from transparent ledgers immediately.
“we need to get away from these transparent ledgers like right away.”

Zcash’s roadmap includes making its cryptography more secure and efficient.
“There's the cryptography side, so there's trying to make the cryptography more secure and more efficient.”

Partial transaction privacy can enable set-intersection attacks across transactions.
“leaking anything at all in one of the transactions immediately breaks everything in the other one.”

Zcash must scale private payments to achieve broad adoption and resilience.
“It needs to scale. The private payments need to scale in order to make that work at all.”

Tachyon uses recursive SNARKs to aggregate Zcash’s large zero-knowledge proofs.
“Tachyon kind of addresses that and it uses this thing called a recursive snark to do it”

Tachyon uses recursive SNARKs to reduce Zcash shielded-state growth.
“Tachyon addresses that also with the recursive SNARKs.”

Zcash’s current private-payment cryptography cannot handle sufficiently many transactions.
“The actual cryptography, the private payment cryptography that takes place on chain just falls apart with too many transactions.”

Zcash has deployed private information retrieval in production.
“Zcash has already deployed this PIR stuff.”

Zcash has achieved quantum recoverability for shielded funds.
“we've actually achieved this in Zcash.”

Post-quantum soundness prevents quantum attackers from counterfeiting Zcash.
“once it's post-quantum sound, they can't do that at all.”

Formal verification does not guarantee security if its specification is incorrect.
“the specification can be wrong.”
Open the episode · The Complete Zcash Roadmap | Sean Bowe and Dev OjhaListen at 1:08:37
Zcash’s formalized protocol can rapidly verify that cryptographic optimizations preserve zero knowledge.
“we could just basically take the existing thing we have formalized and immediately get a proof that it's zero knowledge.”

Adding extensive features earlier would have left Zcash in a much worse position today.
“Zcash would be kind of screwed. Zcash would be like cooked right now if we had added all these crazy features years ago.”
Open the episode · The Complete Zcash Roadmap | Sean Bowe and Dev OjhaListen at 1:20:41
Zcash should prioritize payment scaling and defer additional features.
“until we scale payments, we shouldn't even talk about all these other things. We should keep it simple.”

Zcash should avoid changes opposed by its coin holders.
“if coin holders broadly agree with something, or rather if they disagree with something, we definitely shouldn't do it.”

ZEC holders are essential to Zcash’s continued viability.
“ZEC holders are the lifeblood of the project.”

A high ZEC price supports protocol development, defense, and project success.
“a high prices act is like, you know, the flywheel of protocol evolution and defending the protocol and succeeding.”
