Zcash Developer Plans Hash-Based Signatures by January, Rolls Out Address Rotation Tool

The pairing matters more than either item alone: post-quantum signature work is a long-horizon defensive bet, while address rotation addresses a present, practical privacy leak in transparent transactions. That a full-node developer is shipping both suggests Zcash's roadmap is being shaped by independent node teams rather than a single central actor, which cuts both ways for coordination and for credible neutrality. The open question is whether hash-based signatures arrive on the stated timeline, since such schemes typically trade signature size and verification cost for quantum resistance.
