Zcash has successfully activated its Overwinter hard fork, setting the privacy-focused cryptocurrency up for its major Sapling upgrade in the autumn.
With its community aligned, Zcash's first hard fork, Overwinter, might not be exciting. But as always, you never really rule out a blockchain split.
After spending his time developing zcash's most popular wallet software, the developer threatened a hard fork in an effort to secure more funds.
A new software release prepares zcash for its upcoming hard fork that is set to activate in June.
