Why is Orchard sealed?
NU6.3 (Ironwood, July 28 2026) sealed the Orchard pool to new shielded transactions so Zcash can retire its cryptography generation cleanly. Orchard's balance now exits only through the turnstile into Ironwood, and each crossing publicly reveals its amount — which keeps the total money supply auditable while the pool drains.
