🫥 Many buyers of the #ZEC token do not speculate on it, but keep it in shielded mode!

On Twitter, the growth of the token by 750% since August this year has increasingly been described as «people’s real desire for privacy and confidentiality».

Supposedly, it’s not just a pump of some old coin, but everything is much deeper.

Why this is important: Part of the offer becomes less affordable for immediate sale.

Real-time data: zechub

Shielded is a Zcash mode where amounts and addresses are hidden using zk-SNARKs. This is not a DeFi pool, but a part of the registry itself. Wallets with NU5/Orchard and Unified Address support allow you to «hide» coins and send them privately. Crypto exchanges are more likely to work with transparent addresses.

🧐 Vitalik Buterin praised Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nilval (twitter)

According to the founder of Ethereum, Polygon played an important role in the development of the ecosystem.

He also noted that Sandeep and CZ are rare examples of those who do not just speak, but really make a personal contribution to the common good, without striving for profit.

At the same time, Sandeep himself said that he began to doubt his loyalty to Ethereum.

According to him, the Ethereum Foundation underestimates the role of Polygon and does not support the project, although from the very beginning the team has strived to be part of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Nailwal noted that such loyalty cost him «billions of dollars», because Polygon could become an independent blockchain.

😐 Google announced a new breakthrough in quantum computing.

The company announced the Quantum Echoes algorithm, which runs on its Willow quantum chip and, according to Google, is 13,000 times faster than the most powerful classic supercomputers.

The algorithm is able to generate unique data for AI technologies, especially in areas where there are simply no high-quality datasets - for example, in drug development and materials science.

Recall that many analysts fear that quantum technologies may allow to hack cryptographic systems.
