Summary
- Zcash developers have released Udon, a component that moves parts of the proposed Tachyon scaling upgrade into Zakura Common, software used to create and verify private transactions.
- While earlier Common improvements cut private-transaction creation times from more than three seconds to under 200 milliseconds in some tests, Tachyon aims to limit the network’s workload as usage grows.
- Udon begins the integration but does not demonstrate Tachyon’s speed, and the proposed upgrade still requires further development and a security review before possible activation.
