Wu learned that the Zcash development team stated it plans to introduce formal verification through the upcoming new privacy pool Ironwood, using mathematical proofs to eliminate the risk of "undetectable counterfeiting." The team said that although the previously discovered vulnerability in the Orchard shielded pool has been fixed and there is no evidence of exploitation, it is theoretically impossible to confirm through on-chain history whether covert inflation has occurred. Therefore, the community has decided to launch a new Ironwood shielded pool and conduct a comprehensive formal verification of its protocol.

Someone finally dared to face the hidden dangers of Orchard. Ironwood is essentially starting from scratch. Looking forward to the audit report after the code is open-sourced.

Mathematical proofs as a safety net sound great, but the cost and complexity of formal verification are not low. Can the team's budget sustain it?

From "undetectable" to "provable", this path itself requires community trust rebuilding. Let's wait and see.

Formal verification on-chain, Zcash is aiming to weld privacy and determinism together this time, which is pretty hardcore.
