ZEC drops 30% is just the beginning—when "unable to verify if it has been abused" becomes the standard answer, how much faith do holders still have?

Zcash founder discloses a major vulnerability that could allow attackers to infinitely forge ZEC in the Orchard shielded pool. The vulnerability has existed since May 2022, was discovered on May 29, and fixed on June 1. After disclosure, the price of ZEC dropped by about 30%, and investors are concerned about the potential impact. Due to privacy design making it difficult to verify if it has been exploited, industry insiders call this a major trust event, and the supply integrity is hard to independently verify.
