Ironwood has finally finalized the technical details, with formal verification + three audits + AI tools all in place. This privacy upgrade for Zcash is serious. The testnet is up and running, waiting for the mainnet.

CryptoWorld News reports that Zcash core developer Sean Bowe stated that protocol developers from various organizations have reached an agreement on the Ironwood specifications and implementation details, including disabling Orchard pool bundling in coinbase, using the anchor as authentication data for hardware wallet migration, and the processing order of ZIPs and specifications. Currently, the Ironwood circuit and ZIP 2005 integration draft are under review, and Valar Group has set up a test network and completed some wallet-side changes. Formal verification work is ongoing, and developers will finalize the verification strategy tomorrow. Three major auditing firms are conducting security audits on Orchard, with multiple AI auditing tools running in parallel.
