Zcash's native token ZEC surged 42% after ZODL founder Josh Swihart outlined the two-step emergency process used to neutralise a critical vulnerability discovered in the Orchard shielded pool. The Zcash development team executed the upgrade to prevent potential exploitation of the privacy-focused protocol's shielded transaction layer. Swihart's public disclosure provided technical clarity on how the vulnerability was identified and patched, helping restore market confidence following what had been a period of uncertainty. The Orchard shielded pool is a core component of Zcash's privacy infrastructure, making the flaw particularly significant. The swift response and transparent communication from the team appear to have reassured investors, driving the sharp price recovery in ZEC.
