Zcash Unveils Q4 Roadmap: Focus on Privacy & Developer Fund Management

Electric Coin Co., the creators of Zcash (ZEC), have released their roadmap for the final quarter of 2025. This comes as demand for privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies surges, with users seeking solutions to evade regulatory scrutiny. ECC prioritizes four key areas: introducing a temporary address during Zcash swaps utilizing the NEAR Intents protocol; generating new, transparent addresses for fund transfers; re-syncing Keystone hard wallets and enabling P2SH multisig wallet support within it; and streamlining developer fund management through a single multisig wallet. 2025 roadmap is flexible and adaptable, allowing ECC to adjust based on market conditions. Zcash prioritizes reducing technical debt, enhancing privacy for Zashi users, and improving developer fund management. The roadmap includes tackling address reuse for swaps by disabling the Coinbase on-ramp temporarily and implementing a dedicated shielded off-ramp. Zcash’s price has seen significant growth in the past two months, driven by increasing demand. The asset reached highs of over $400 before dropping to around $411.27 as of October 2025. The price is currently experiencing slight decline after hitting an all-time high earlier this month.
