Summary
Shielded Labs has raised concerns that Zcash's Ironwood network upgrade, planned for late July, may need to be delayed because ecosystem participants like exchanges, mining pools, and wallets may not have enough time to prepare. Executive Director Jason McGee highlighted that two major projects are happening simultaneously: the Ironwood upgrade itself and the migration from Zcash's legacy node/wallet software (zcashd) to the new Z3 stack. The concerns center on audit readiness and infrastructure provider preparedness.
