The path forward for Zcash is clear: scaling isn't optional, it's essential. The network has the capability to achieve this. There's no question—it will happen. Privacy-focused blockchains need to handle increased transaction volume while maintaining their core advantages. Zcash's commitment to scaling infrastructure addresses this directly. Whether through layer-2 solutions, protocol optimizations, or enhanced throughput, the ecosystem is moving in this direction. The ability to process more transactions without compromising privacy or security becomes the competitive edge in a crowded market. This isn't speculation; it's the inevitable evolution for any protocol serious about real-world adoption.
