first_img Zcash released Udon, incorporating the Tachyon scaling code into Zakura Common

According to CoinDesk, Zcash developers are integrating part of the proposed scaling upgrade code, Tachyon, into the software already in use to prepare for a large number of privacy transactions in the future. This component is named Udon, originally developed as part of Project Tachyon.According to Sean Bowe, the head of Project Tachyon, Udon was released on Monday to Zakura Common, which is a cryptographic library shared by Zakura and other Zcash projects. Common is responsible for handling some of the heavy mathematical computations behind creating and verifying privacy transactions, with Zakura being jointly developed by Bowe's team and Dev Ojha's Valar Group.Zcash wallets need to prove the validity of a privacy payment without disclosing the payer, payee, or amount, and the computers running the network subsequently verify that proof. According to CoinDesk's report in August, previous improvements to Common have reduced the time to create a privacy transaction from over 3 seconds to under 200 milliseconds in some tests.If privacy payments become more common, these computers will need to handle more data. Udon brings some of the computational requirements for the proposed scaling upgrade of Tachyon into Common, allowing developers to continue building on the already accelerated code. Udon has been released as software, but the upgrade has not yet been activated on Zcash.Bowe and Ojha's long-term goal is to exceed 50,000 payments per second. At this rate, they estimate that current cryptography will allow each Zcash node to receive over 500 MB of data per second.

first_img Pantera Junior Partner Jay Yu: Computing power may become a commodity asset

Pantera Capital Junior Partner Jay Yu published an article titled "The Rise of Compute Markets," stating that computing power and data center spending have become a trillion-dollar category, but GPU procurement is still mainly done through group chats, over-the-counter brokers, and bilateral agreements. He noted that the financialization of computing power is still in its early stages, constrained by SKU, time, and location, but could become a commodity asset similar to electricity or oil in the next 5 to 10 years. Jay Yu believes that the computing power market may form a "hardware-supplier-cluster" structure similar to the electricity "grid-operator-node," with new cloud vendors being structural shorts on GPUs, while on-demand platforms and application layers are longs.He mentioned that for every $100 spent on inference at the application layer, about $45 flows to the on-demand layer, about $50 flows to the new cloud or GPU layer, and about $5 flows to routing layers like OpenRouter. NVIDIA can be seen as the "central bank" of computing power, having announced support for up to 25% residual value. He also stated that physical delivery has a more enduring moat, and indices, cash-settled exchanges, and financing tools will subsequently emerge, with participants including SF Compute, Vast AI, Runpod, Compute Exchange, and others. The computing power market does not have mandatory price transparency requirements, and basis risk may be greater.
