This is a great move from the @cakewallet team. Integrating Zcash with a ‘shielded by default’ set up and utilising Near Intents for swaps is the right way to go in order to protect privacy. I particularly like the fact that even when sending to transparent $ZEC addresses,

zaimiri @zaimiri · 2026-01-15T09:00:05+00:00

Zcash might edge out Monero for one reason. Optional privacy. If everything is private → no government or institution can comply. @0xMiden gets this. They’re taking a hybrid path similar to Zcash. That alone could be the unlock.
