Zcash core developers: Ironwood upgrade has made new progress, multiple organizations have reached consensus on key changes
Zcash core developer Sean Bowe posted an update on the progress of the Ironwood upgrade, stating that in the past 48 hours, protocol developers from various organizations have held two meetings and reached consensus on several specifications and implementation details of Ironwood, including disabling Orchard pool bundling in Coinbase transactions, using anchors for hardware wallet migration authentication data, and the order of processing ZIP and specifications. Currently, the Ironwood circuit and ZIP 2005 integration draft are under review. Valar Group has completed the setup of the testnet and implemented some changes on the wallet side.
Meanwhile, formal verification work continues to advance, and the development team plans to hold a meeting tomorrow to finalize the verification strategy. In addition, at least three mainstream auditing firms are conducting security audits on Orchard, and multiple AI auditing tools have also been put into use. Sean Bowe stated that overall development progress is going smoothly.
