🚨 A critical vulnerability in $ZEC has shocked the crypto market.


The bug reportedly existed in the Orchard pool since May 2022 and could have allowed the creation of counterfeit Zcash under specific conditions.
Key facts:
🔹 Discovered on May 29 during an audit
🔹 Patched through an emergency hard fork between June 1–3
🔹 A researcher reportedly used Claude Opus 4.8 to build a working test exploit
🔹 $ZEC fell nearly 30% following the news
The biggest concern isn't just the bug itself.
Because Zcash is a privacy-focused network, there is no straightforward way to verify whether the vulnerability was ever exploited in the past.
The team states that the supply remains intact, but also acknowledges that it cannot be cryptographically proven. 👀
This event highlights the trade-off between privacy and transparency in blockchain networks.
