Privacy releases make versions, fees and disclosure inspectable

Reported fixes and tool releases are different evidence from a security guarantee or a current fee quote.

The Zcash-linked release account names Zakura 1.0.1 and Zebra 6.1.0 as vulnerability fixes while Ironwood and Zakura work advances. Version boundaries and impact records are more useful than treating privacy as evidence that nothing failed.

The wider roundup describes Starknet shielding at four STRK, approximately $0.12 at its stated historical rate, with a Wallet API and TypeScript SDK; COTI private USDT and a planned V1 retirement by the end of Q3 2026; and Succinct’s Flock prover intended to keep pace with Espresso consensus. It also reports Gravity alpha activity above 600 million transactions, a Humanity Protocol/Quantstamp incident report with recovery measures to follow, and Blockworks B-2 disclosures by ZKsync and Horizen. Fees, transaction totals and token disclosures give operators different records to compare; recovery still depends on the announced measures being carried through.
