Zcash plans faster mobile private transaction proofs, reducing wait times to under 200 ms

Zcash developer Zakura said a new cryptography stack (“Zakura Common”) could reduce Zcash private transaction proof generation time on mobile so that private transaction creation drops from about three-second waits to under 200 milliseconds, with mobile proof generation improving by more than 14 times ^{[1] [2]}.

CoinDesk similarly reported that private transactions could go from three-second waits to under 200 milliseconds due to faster mobile proof generation, citing the same Zakura effort to address a major user-facing delay ^[1].

Crypto Briefing described the expected reduction in private transaction wait times to under 200 milliseconds as improving user experience and supporting broader adoption for privacy-focused payments, framing this as an enhancement from the shorter delays ^[3].

CoinoMedia (lower-authority) reported that Zakura released an open-source toolkit for Zcash that reduces private transaction time from over three seconds to under 200 milliseconds, and it linked the improvement to speed and usability for privacy-focused transactions ^[4].
