Privacy-focused Zcash (ZEC) will be the first coin supported by Wrapped—a cross-chain bridge that allows for bringing various cryptos onto the Ethereum blockchain, Tokensoft and Anchorage jointly announced on Wednesday.
We're proud to support the launch of https://t.co/HNroVZlw9J, a collaboration with @Anchorage and @cmsholdings. A partnership designed to provide access to layer one protocols, more about the partnership here: https://t.co/NAOt4w03pW
— Tokensoft Inc. (@TokensoftInc) October 21, 2020
The bridge will enable Zcash holders to use their shielded ZEC on Ethereum, including on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms such as Maker, Uniswap and Compound.
“By bringing new liquidity sources into DeFi, and enabling users to benefit from those qualities that make layer one protocols unique, Wrapped is a boon for both market participants and the broader ecosystem,” said Nathan McCauley, Anchorage co-founder and CEO.
To move a coin onto a different blockchain—in this case, ZEC onto Ethereum—a special smart contract first locks up (stakes) the original coins in their native network, and then creates a “wrapped” copy of them on a new blockchain at 1:1 ratio.
These wrapped coins fully retain the original’s price and functionality. If a user wants to return their assets to the original blockchain, the smart contract will simply unlock them—and burn the corresponding amount of wrapped coins on Ethereum.
Per the announcement, WZEC is based on the ERC-1404 token standard developed by Tokensoft. It allows “for the free transfer of WZEC along with incorporation of applicable compliance requirements globally.”
Within the partnership, blockchain company Tokensoft will focus on the technical development of the new system while institutional digital asset platform Anchorage will provide custody for Wrapped Zcash’s (WZEC) underlying assets.
Close to 80,000 Bitcoin have now been transferred to the Ethereum blockchain, as DeFi protocols attract value back to their liquidity pools following an early September crypto market correction. Even as prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum fell starting September 1, BTC transferred onto the Ethereum blockchain has already increased nearly 37% so far this month, according to data from Dune Analytics. The increase in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and other cross-chain Bitcoin lockups has pushed their aggrega...
“We’re looking forward to enabling a more interoperable form of Zcash with WZEC," said Mason Borda, CEO of Tokensoft. "Users of WZEC will have the ability to use their Zcash in a variety of DeFi applications. Additionally, exchanges will now be able to hold Zcash while meeting their compliance requirements,”
Apart from Zcash, wrapped versions of Handshake, Avalanche and Celo are also currently “in consideration,” the companies noted.
Since the early days of the internet, HTTP 402, a payment status code that showed "Payment Required," has existed as a placeholder in web protocols. It was a digital relic that once promised an internet with built-in payment capabilities but was never fully realized. Three decades later, crypto exchange Coinbase, through its Developer Platform, has brought it back to life with x402, a new, open-source protocol that creates a native payment layer for the web. "Imagine a future where crypto is the...
Ethereum has successfully activated the first phase of Pectra, its latest major upgrade since Dencun in March last year, going live at 6:05am ET in New York on Wednesday. Following the hard fork itself, developers faced a nail-biting wait to see if the network had achieved finality, which took place at 6:18am ET. The Pectra hardfork has finalized on #Ethereum! Congratz everyone 🥳🥳 pic.twitter.com/sOwPVN1UOO — beaconchain.eth 📡 (@beaconcha_in) May 7, 2025 Pectra introduces sweeping changes t...
A new layer-1 blockchain focused on privacy and mining accessibility is now live with the launch of Tari mainnet. Led by a group of former Monero developers, Tari’s mainnet follows the network’s testnet launch in September 2024, placing it in a crowded field of layer-1 networks that includes heavyweights like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. But the developers see Tari differently than the pack. “Our hot take: Existing chains are missing key ingredients needed for them to succeed in becoming the...
