Developers behind privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash have announced plans to launch a new wallet and form a new Zcash-focused company.

The latest development comes just a day after the team resigned en masse from the Electric Coin Company (ECC) following a governance dispute.

New Wallet Push

Former ECC CEO Josh Swihart announced that the team responsible for launching Zcash and developing the Zashi wallet will now create a new Zcash wallet, code-named cashZ, by utilizing the same Zashi codebase. He explained that the group is not launching a new token and remains fully focused on Zcash development. According to Swihart, the decision to leave ECC and form a new company was driven by the need for a governance structure that better aligns with the ZEC ecosystem’s goals.

His tweet read,

Swihart outlined three core reasons for the transition. First, he said Zcash is rooted in cypherpunk principles and requires leadership that is willing to actively defend privacy as a norm in the digital economy. Second, he argued that combining non-profit foundations with fast-moving tech startups has historically led to misalignment, while adding that a conventional startup structure allows teams and leadership to remain more accountable and aligned. Third, Swihart said Zcash must be able to scale significantly to fulfill its mission and move beyond niche adoption toward billions of potential users.

CryptoPotato had earlier reported that several Zcash developers were “constructively discharged” following internal governance disputes.

Falling Dev Metrics

The announcement comes at a time when ZEC market performance and development metrics appear to be diverging. According to blockchain analytics firm Santiment, the token saw a sharp resurgence in late 2025. Its market capitalization increased roughly 15-fold between late September and mid-November. Since then, however, ZEC’s price has retraced by around 40% over the past two months.

Amidst price struggles, Zcash’s development activity has declined to its lowest level since November 2021. Historically, the firm said, steady or rising development activity has tended to accompany stronger long-term performance among major altcoins, while falling activity can indicate reduced innovation momentum.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
