Shielded Labs is considering delaying the Zcash Ironwood network upgrade due to concerns about the readiness of exchanges, mining pools, and wallet providers. The upgrade involves migrating infrastructure from zcashd to the new Z3 software stack, with some operators needing more time for deployment and testing. Ironwood aims to secure Zcash’s shielded supply following the discovery of a bug in Orchard. Discussions are ongoing about whether to postpone the upgrade to allow for more preparation time.
