Zcash Ironwood upgrade may be delayed amid lack of infrastructure readiness

Zcash is considering delaying its Ironwood network upgrade scheduled for late July, amid concerns that exchanges, mining pools and wallet providers may not have enough time to prepare for the software transition. Shielded Labs\' Jason McGee said on the Zcash community forum that the Ironwood upgrade and the shift to the Z3 stack are happening at the same time.
