Network & service readiness

Upstream
  • ZEC swaps: switched off in Brave’s swap backend code

    In Brave’s public swap backend repository (gate3 @ 173a2408), SWAP_DISABLED_CHAINS includes Chain.ZCASH. The deployed service could differ, and deployment timing is not public. A server-side switch applies to every platform and version. Checked .

    ZIP 259 is Draft; mainnet height: TBD (To be set on OCT 20). Upstream librustzcash has it.
