Summary
- About 176,000 ZEC, or roughly $81 million, has moved into Zcash’s new Ironwood shielded pool in the first day after the upgrade, representing about 5 percent of the Orchard pool’s balance at activation.
- Orchard, which can no longer accept deposits, is steadily shrinking as coins exit through a turnstile mechanism that limits total withdrawals to the amount verifiably deposited.
- Migration to Ironwood is voluntary, leaving most of Zcash’s shielded supply temporarily stranded in a now-closed Orchard pool while holders, wallets and exchanges move funds at their own pace.
