we're designing an air-gapped frost signer for zigs. a signer that never touches the internet. ever. all communication happens through encrypted qr codes. frost requires two signing rounds. the offline signer independently verifies the transaction, generates one-time nonce commitments, then validates the signing package before returning its redpallas signature share. the other signers don't even know one seat is offline and the network just sees a normal tx. currently in final stages of testing qr payload limits, nonce safety and transaction verification before an independent review. self-custody should not require trusting an internet-connected device. let alone a @Ledger with sim card and a north korean sim.

we succesfully completed end-to-end testing of private sol transfers using zolana on solana devnet. would not have been possible without the great docs by @Helius privacy. 2-of-3 threshold signing. distributed key generation, shielding and private transfers all worked as expected. we then wiped all 3 signers, restored them from encrypted backups and successfully executed another transaction. the cryptography works. recovery works. we still have some issues around latency and stale tx we're working through but confident in delivering. onwards.

we've redesigned the Zigs website and opened registrations for early access. we're building for the privacy-curious, the cryptographers, the cypherpunks. come break our beta. we want your feedback. zigs.app

@TrustlessState @Austin_Federa @ZcashNames .zec is great and we will be adopting the standard by @ZcashNames It's going to be a ux big unlock, especially when we launch our encrypted messaging system which utilizes zcash memos. Would love you have you as beta testers @TrustlessState @Austin_Federa

if you've been building in crypto for the last few years and you're actually good at it, this is the time to focus on privacy. some of the best engineers in the industry are converging on the same problems. there's a real community forming and plenty of external capital looking to back competent builders. the tooling is still primitive. most of the obvious applications haven't been built. competition is almost nonexistent. the opportunity is fairly obvious. see you on the @zypherpunks discord.

Announcing Zypherpunk! We are calling up builders, researchers, and creators to come and shape the future of Zcash. Our aim is to create an entry point for new talent in Zcash, where they can learn, contribute, meet like-minded people, and also get rewarded for their efforts.

theres two things we love here at zigs. the speed of solana and the privacy of zcash. there's no good reason a wallet shouldn't support both. we're integrating @helius privacy rings (aka zolana) into zigs to bring confidential sol and spl balances alongside shielded zec. the interesting problem we're trying to solve for is multisig. both protocols use two different curves, two signing schemes, separate viewing and nullifier keys. making all of this work under one threshold approval system without compromising self-custody is non-trivial. same signers. same threshold. two confidential chains. one zigs wallet

one of the things we want to get right before releasing zigs is native, end-to-end encrypted p2p messaging using zcash memos. whislt zcash already encrypts shielded memos, we're exploring a second layer of application-level encryption using hybrid post-quantum key exchange (pqxdh) and key ratcheting. the interesting problem is payload size. zcash memos are limited to 512 bytes. an ml-kem-768 ciphertext alone is 1,088 bytes. the maths doesn't work. the current approach is focsed around splitting the initial handshake across multiple shielded outputs, then use established session keys and a double ratchet for subsequent messages. the result we're working towards: private messaging entirely over zcash, with message confidentiality that doesn't depend solely on the zcash viewing key remaining secret. private speech is free speech. accelerate.

it took us a few attempts, but passkeys are live in Zigs: a new layer of protection for Zcash self-custody. your key share is now locked with a passkey on web (WebAuthn PRF) or Face ID on iPhone. someone who reads your browser storage or keychain gets only ciphertext. the share itself comes from distributed FROST key generation: spending authority is split across independent RedPallas key shares, and no one ever holds the full key. in a 2-of-3 wallet, any two signers produce the ZIP 312 re-randomized signature together. the full spending key is never reconstructed. on-chain, it looks like any other shielded Ironwood spend. accelerate 🦓🛡️

Zcash was built for financial privacy. Securing it should not depend on a single key. Introducing Zigs, a multisig wallet for transparent and shielded ZEC, built for individuals and organizations. Coming October 2026. Follow for updates.
