THORChain Completes ZEC Integration, Bringing Native Zcash to Cross-Chain Swaps
THORChain completed its Zcash integration, adding native ZEC swaps with assets on other supported chains without wrapping, bridges or centralized exchanges. The rollout includes transparent Zcash transactions, Zcash-specific UTXO handling, ZIP-317 fees, oracle support and compatibility with the NU6.3 Ironwood network upgrade, while shielded cross-chain transfers are not included.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Users of THORChain and people moving ZEC across supported chains now notice that native Zcash swaps are available through the network. The change matters in practice for cross-chain transfers that use ZEC, because the integration is described as working with other supported-chain assets without wrapping, bridges or centralized exchanges.
Before this integration, the described setup for ZEC did not exist on THORChain; now the network supports transparent Zcash transactions, UTXO handling and ZIP-317 fees. What stays the same is that shielded cross-chain transfers are not part of this upgrade.
