ZEC Treasury Company Cypherpunk Responds to Price Volatility: All Software Has Vulnerabilities, Zcash Will Demonstrate Security Capabilities
Odaily, Cypherpunk, the company managing the ZEC treasury, stated that all software has vulnerabilities. Historically, Bitcoin once "over-minted" 184 billion BTC due to a bug. However, this does not mean abandoning blockchain technology; rather, security should be enhanced through formal verification and provable correctness.Cypherpunk emphasized that with the development of AI technology, vulnerability detection will become faster and broader, but the key lies in who can discover issues before malicious actors. Zcash will demonstrate this capability through an upcoming update.
ZEC Treasury Company Cypherpunk Responds to Market Volatility: All Software Contains Vulnerabilities; Formal Verification Will Enhance Security
Cypherpunk, the ZEC treasury company, responded on X to the market volatility of the ZEC token, stating that all software contains vulnerabilities and citing the historical Bitcoin incident in which a bug led to the accidental minting of 184 billion BTC. However, this does not mean blockchain technology should be abandoned; instead, security should be enhanced through formal verification and provable correctness.
Bitcoin proposal BIP-361 sparks community controversy by suggesting freezing quantum-vulnerable addresses
According to Cointelegraph, Cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and several other Bitcoin quantum-security experts have proposed Bitcoin Improvement Proposal BIP-361, recommending the freezing of quantum-vulnerable addresses—including the Satoshi Nakamoto reserve—to prevent future quantum computers from stealing approximately 1.7 million bitcoins. The proposal proceeds in three phases: first, prohibiting transfers to legacy addresses; second, invalidating legacy signatures and freezing unmigrated assets after five years; and third, enabling partial users to recover frozen funds via zero-knowledge proof mechanisms. The proposal aims to drive the entire network’s migration to quantum-resistant addresses, but has drawn opposition from some community members who argue it violates Bitcoin’s decentralization principles and carries authoritarian and confiscatory characteristics.
