Kieran Dennis, an early contributor to the Core Foundation, has expressed strong support for Zcash (ZEC) as a key engine for the Satoshi Plus ecosystem. In a recent interview, Dennis highlighted that Zcash shares a technical architecture with Bitcoin, being based on UTXO and PoW, which allows it to integrate seamlessly into the Satoshi Plus framework. Dennis noted that Zcash miners could allocate computational power at no additional cost to secure the Z Protocol, while holders can earn staking rewards through a fully self-custodial model. Furthermore, the Z Protocol leverages Zcash's cryptographic primitives, such as its shielded pool, to ensure complete privacy for AI agent interactions across applications.
