At Zcash’s launch in 2016, the protocol’s zero-knowledge proofs required a setup phase to produce public parameters.

But with NU5 activating on Mainnet soon, a number of protocol improvements will be made. This includes unified addresses and the first deployment of Halo on Zcash.

Removing trusted setup is necessary to bring Zcash as a foundational layer for the global and digital economy. The ECC team is solely focused on bringing private cryptocurrency to all through this new zero-knowledge proof system.
