The vote directs several million dollars toward work on the critical vulnerability, alongside code audits and the Ironwood upgrade.
The protocol fix is live and verifiable, but ZEC still trades below the $500 area Ironwood was supposed to put back on the map, leaving the supply repair in technical hands and the price repair in…

A formally verified pool that reuses a patched circuit is the bridge, not the destination: Zcash's ecosystem is rebuilding trust after the Orchard disclosure wiped out more than half of ZEC's price.
