Dash Evolution chain has integrated the Zcash Orchard privacy pool

According to Cointelegraph, Dash is a Layer-1 blockchain protocol with privacy features, announcing the integration of Zcash's "Orchard" shielded pool into the Dash Evolution chain, which is a secondary layer on the L1 network that supports smart contract functionality.

The integration will go live after the completion of a network security audit, expected to launch in March. Initially, the integration will support the basic transfer functionality of Zcash. The announcement stated that the transaction will transfer from one party to another on the Evolution chain, with subsequent upgrades adding Orchard's privacy features for tokenized real-world assets (RWA).
