Overview
- Zcash and Monero posted sharp 12-month gains, with ZEC surpassing $400 and XMR more than doubling, pushing their market caps to about $8 billion and $6 billion.
- Analysts and traders are shifting focus to smaller-cap privacy projects for greater upside, with GhostwareOS frequently cited as a frontrunner.
- GhostwareOS launched on Oct. 25 on Solana and promotes a modular stack—GhostOS, Tx ShadowNet, Darkrelay Messaging, and ID Obfuscation—using HPKE, zero-knowledge proofs, and multi-party computation.
- Reports highlight rapid early returns and market-cap estimates for GHOST in the low tens of millions, though figures vary and remain lightly verified.
- Recent articles carry disclosures, including a sponsored label on one piece, and advise readers to conduct independent research given the speculative breakout claims.
