As per the ECC roadmap, four key areas are of importance to the system. These include adding a temporary address for every swap of Zcash that utilizes the multichain NEAR Intents protocol. Another priority is to generate a new and transparent address for a user when their current account receives funds.

The other two components of the roadmap is that Keystone hard wallet users can now resynchronize their devices and it will now support Pay-to-Script-Hash (P2SH) multisig wallet in Keystone.  According to the development team, ECC is looking to use one multisig wallet to secure the management of Zcash developer funds.
