Give your ZEC something to do.
zsas.fun is a meme launchpad for Zcash. Tokens trade in ZEC, and it’s built for Zcash Shielded Assets. It isn’t live yet: get in line now, and early access goes out in waitlist order.
The waitlist opens soon.

01 · ZSA tracker
Wen ZSA?
Zcash Shielded Assets would let anyone issue tokens inside Zcash’s shielded pool. They are not part of NU7, the next network upgrade, and no upgrade includes them yet.
Here is where the work stands. We re-read the sources every week and log what changed. We don’t guess dates.
Where ZSA stands
ZSA on mainnet
Not scheduledLeft out of NU7, the next network upgrade, and not in any later one yet. So there is no activation date.
ZIP 227 · Issuance
DraftThe spec for creating ZSAs. Still a draft; its deployment section reads “TBD”.
ZIP 226 · Transfer and burn
DraftThe spec for moving and burning ZSAs. Still a draft.
ZSA circuit
In reviewThe proving circuit is an open pull request to the Orchard library, waiting for review. It is not merged.
Zebra node support
No dateNo milestone and no date. Zebra’s ZIP 226 and ZIP 227 issues came off the NU7 milestone in late September.
Transaction format
DraftZSAs need a new transaction format. A draft extensible format (ZIP 248) leaves room for them; no upgrade is assigned to it.
On the calendar
NU7 on testnet
LiveActivated on the public testnet at block 4,465,026, which gives the teams time on a live network before mainnet.
NU7 mainnet height
SetSet in ZIP 259: NU7 activates on mainnet at block 3,543,405. Zebra 7.0.0, released on 22 October, follows it.
Zcon7, Cancún

NU7 on mainnet
TargetAt block 3,543,405: 25-second blocks and the end of v4 transactions, among other changes. No new transaction format, so no ZSAs.
