Solana is making significant advancements, including adding modern zk syscalls, which will allow it to speak the same zk language as Zcash and Ethereum. This development is expected to open doors for new use cases, such as interoperability with Zcash. Meanwhile, there is a growing emphasis on privacy in the crypto space, with many advocates, including those involved with Zcash, pushing for the importance of private money and freedom.
