$Enkrion Halo2 Protocol Full Shielded Routing Upgrade The Enkrion team is preparing a major infrastructure upgrade: transitioning from transparent T1 routing to fully shielded privacy architecture powered by #Zcash Halo2 zero-knowledge proofs and unified z1/zs1 addresses. This upcoming implementation marks our evolution from basic transparent relayers to privacy-absolute infrastructure. Once deployed, every cross-chain transaction will flow through a native shielded environment with mathematical proof verification. Planned ZEC Routing Architecture: • Entry: Transparent t1 addresses • Privacy Core: Fully shielded z1/zs1 unified addresses • Exit: Transparent t1 addresses All sensitive metadata (sender, receiver, amount, routing path) will be encrypted with Halo2 proofs during the shielded routing phase. Only validity will be publicly verifiable, not transaction data. Halo2 Technical Advantages: ✓ No trusted setup required ✓ Infinite recursive proof composition ✓ <15 sec proof generation ✓ 1.5 KB proof size Expected routing times: 8-12 minutes per full cross-chain cycle with complete privacy guarantees.
