Zcash community member ValarDragon posted on the official community forum, proposing a series of plans to be included in the NU8 network upgrade, and suggested setting the upgrade target for the end of January 2027. The main content includes the launch of the Tachyon shielded pool, expanding transaction formats, increasing the maximum block size from 2MB to 8MB, and adding support for post-quantum cryptography transparent transaction opcodes.Other proposals also include: adjusting the NSM redistribution date to be closer to the time of Zcash's seventh halving; determining a date at the protocol level for Sapling to stop accepting new deposits while continuing to support transactions and withdrawals; and eliminating the need to update the Consensus Branch ID with each network upgrade to reduce wallet compatibility issues. ValarDragon stated that with the combination of Tachyon and larger block capacity, a shielded transaction processing capability of approximately 200 TPS is expected. In addition, the post-quantum transparent transaction feature will introduce schemes based on SPHINCS with 128-bit and 192-bit security levels. The above content currently belongs to the upgrade ideas proposed by community members, and specific implementation still depends on development progress and subsequent NU8 discussions and voting.

The automated market-making protocol Yield Basis, founded by Curve founder Michael Egorov, announced the launch of a permissionless propAMM, aiming to upgrade its liquidity mechanism on Curve. This design combines market perception pricing with dynamic fees, aiming to increase trading volume, reduce arbitrage losses, and improve liquidity provider returns. According to its simulations over the past 18 months, Yield Basis's WETH position is projected to grow at an annualized rate of 8.5% in ETH terms under the new design, compared to 3.6% under existing parameters.Officials stated that WETH liquidity providers do not need to take additional actions, as the new design will directly affect their respective liquidity pools. The small transaction fee for pulling the pool price back to the market price is 0.50%, and anyone can submit prices or deposit funds, with the relevant code being open source. The WETH pool will be deployed first, and Bitcoin-related liquidity pools will follow after the successful deployment of the WETH pool.According to the announcement, the liquidity pool will charge based on the profits earned by arbitrageurs from trades, retaining about two-thirds of the profits above the minimum fee. The new design features lower single transaction fees, with simulated trading volumes approaching three times the current levels, requiring donations of about one-quarter of the current amount. The Yield Basis DAO owns the strategy, and the Curve Emergency DAO can shut it down in emergencies, while the Curve liquidity pool contract itself remains unchanged. Curve DAO vote 1508 will connect the strategy to the WETH pool and set the reserved profit ratio, while Yield Basis vote 60 will set the LevAMM fee at 1.5% (currently 1.3%), with the donation rate being about 1.2% of the pool value per year (currently about 5%). The above simulations only include arbitrage exchanges and do not account for regular trading and liquidation.
