Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

The Zcash Ironwood shielded pool is a network-upgrade revision of the chain's private value pool, where balances and transfers are represented by commitments and nullifiers so amounts and addresses stay hidden while zero-knowledge proofs establish that each spend is valid. Accompanying formal-methods work models the pool's rules mathematically to show that its privacy and soundness properties follow from the construction itself.
