The maker of popular privacy-focused altcoin Zcash (ZEC) released a new version of its full node software on Thursday, according to a post by Electronic Coin Company (ECC).
Latest Software Version of Altcoin Zcash Released
The new release, version 5.5.0, is seen as part of an effort to "provide a solid and reliable user experience".
Software version 5.5.0 brings various bug fixes, proportional charge mechanism and lays the groundwork for useful functionality in the future.
One of the most important changes in the new version is the introduction of various bug fixes that will improve the stability and performance of the software.
In addition, the new version also includes a proportional fee mechanism that will make it easier and cost-effective for users to transact on the Zcash network.
The proportional fee mechanism is a policy that ensures that fees paid for transactions fairly reflect the relevant transaction costs incurred in processing those transactions.
An important future feature is funds availability, which gives Zcash users the ability to spend money before a wallet is fully synced.
"The Zcash protocol remains our primary focus at ECC as we work to exit 'Emergency Mode' and deliver a robust and reliable user experience," the post states.
The release of the new Zcash software is an important milestone for the project as it demonstrates the continued commitment of ECC and the Zcash development team to develop the cryptocurrency and make it even more useful to its users.
With new features and improvements introduced in the latest software release, Zcash is well positioned to continue growing and attracting new users in the months and years to come.
