ZKas Mainnet v1
First mainnet release. Shielded-by-default (Orchard/Halo2), merge-mined with Kaspa (kHeavyHash), 1 BPS.
Genesis: b63f7fe8e50402af34790265e299bb1ba63e943b91a59a670e5971b7a9e84e6f
Fair-launch anchor: Bitcoin block 959713 (00000000000000000001ef962f5604c074751cc75671e798d8b71e592a965a1f) committed in the genesis coinbase — the chain provably did not exist before that block.
Highlights
- Audit-hardened consensus: reorg-safe shielded nullifier reverts (F-01), PoW-bound shielded IBD import (F-02/F-03), fail-closed anchor age window (F-04/F-05), remote-DoS hardening (F-07/F-08/F-17), self-heal on bad shielded seed (F-09).
- Normal-launch difficulty: pure KIP-0004 DAA from genesis (no low-difficulty bootstrap window).
- 5% per-block dev fee to a shielded address; Toccata (seq-commit + canonical-R) active from genesis.
- KAS<->ZKAS bridge seam present but deactivated in consensus (peg-out behind master switch).
