Zcash developer proposes quantum privacy fix for NEAR Intents swaps

Zcash infrastructure developer Zakura has proposed a new wallet security feature that would give each ZEC swap through NEAR Intents a separate viewing key to protect users’ transaction histories against potential future quantum computing attacks. In an engineering post , Zakura developer Adam Tucker explained that the proposed system would prevent an attacker from using a single publicly exposed Zcash address to uncover payments received across a user’s shielded account. The feature, called a one-time incoming viewing key, would generate a different key for every swap while keeping the wallet’s existing spending key unchanged. According to the team, wallets built using Zakura’s open-source libraries could begin integrating the feature in the coming weeks.
