Are there any partnerships or collaborations with other projects that could help drive adoption and usage of this technology ?
Yes, there are several partnerships and collaborations that have been established to help drive adoption and usage of the Zcash technology.
One of the most notable partnerships is with the Electric Coin Company (ECC), which is a for-profit entity that works to develop and promote Zcash. The ECC has partnered with a number of companies, including Microsoft, which allows users to use Zcash on its Azure cloud platform. Additionally, the ECC has partnered with ShapeShift, a cryptocurrency exchange platform, to allow users to easily exchange their Zcash for other cryptocurrencies.
The ECC has also partnered with Jaxx Liberty, a multi-currency wallet provider, to allow users to store their Zcash in a secure wallet. Additionally, the ECC has partnered with CoinPayments, an online payment processor that allows merchants to accept payments in Zcash. In addition to these partnerships, the Zcash Foundation has also established several collaborations with other projects in order to help drive adoption and usage of this technology.
For example, the Foundation has collaborated with Chainalysis in order to improve compliance and regulatory requirements for using Zcash. The Foundation has also collaborated with Hyperledger in order to explore ways of integrating blockchain technology into existing enterprise systems. Finally, the Foundation has also collaborated with Parity Technologies in order to develop an open source implementation of zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge proofs) on Ethereum’s blockchain network.
This collaboration will enable developers to create applications that use zk-SNARKs on Ethereum’s blockchain network without having to rely on third-party services or infrastructure.
