The privacy-focused cryptocurrency zcash has officially implemented its network hard fork, known as Sapling.
Activated on schedule at block 419,200, Sapling has long been planned as an upgrade aimed at making the network faster, lighter and more secure.
On Sunday, the Zerocoin Electric Coin Company's Elise Hadmon wrote that "Sapling activation, occurring on the momentous occasion of the currency's second birthday, brings us one step closer to widespread adoption of an open, permissionless and private payment system."
