The debate surrounding a recently patched vulnerability in Zcash's Orchard shielded pool continues, with investors assessing the potential risks. Dragonfly Capital partner Haseeb Qureshi suggests the market may be overstating the immediate dangers, while Zcash creator Wei Dai warns of more complex exploitation scenarios.
Qureshi 证实，尽管存在争议，Dragonfly 仍继续持有 ZEC。 The vulnerability, which remained undiscovered for years, theoretically could have allowed an attacker to create unlimited counterfeit shielded ZEC.
然而，库雷希认为任何损坏都可能包含在屏蔽池内。 "Anyone creating counterfeit shielded ZEC would eventually need to convert those coins into transparent ZEC before selling them on major exchanges," he explained.由于透明的 ZEC 是完全可审计的，因此网络可以检测到将过量资金转移到可见供应中的尝试。
Qureshi pointed to recent network data showing the shielded pool's share of supply fell modestly from 31% to 30% over 48 hours, suggesting no panic among privacy-focused users.
Zcash 的创建者 Wei Dai 提出了一个对立的观点，表明老练的攻击者可能会避免完全耗尽矿池。 "The Orchard Pool itself could serve as a laundering mechanism," Dai proposed, allowing counterfeit ZEC to be distributed gradually through private transactions.
Dai also outlined another potential scenario: an attacker discovering the bug early could have opened a large short position against ZEC before the vulnerability became public, profiting from price declines while leaving few traces.
尽管存在争议，库雷希仍然对 Zcash 的前进道路充满信心。开发团队正在规划一种新的旋转栅门机制和一个新的屏蔽水池，旨在验证现有水池是否充气。库雷希将此比作“实地考察后参加会议，以确保没有多余的硬币流入流通。”Qureshi disclosed that Dragonfly maintains its ZEC holdings, and he personally remains invested in ZODL, signaling ongoing confidence as the cryptocurrency industry grapples with one of the most significant privacy-coin security debates in recent years.
