Our goal is to send upwards of $100/month worth of ZEC to anyone running reliable light wallet servers, determined by the rules below. Rewards will be sent to the donation address announced by each server, a new Zcash feature! We currently have a budget of 550 ZEC to pull this off which was generously contributed by a community member earlier this year. (Thank you!!) We will disburse it as defin...| Zcash Community Forum - Latest posts

Hi Zcashers! We’re rolling out community-led workshops for the Zk Av Club Foundry @ZCG grant and want to sanity-check compensation rules with you all, the Zcash community. From the accepted proposal: Services (community prize pool): $8,000 in ZEC — for community contributions replacing “cloud” services and incentivizing engagement. Compensation: $40,000 — for the core team’s curriculum design and production work, paid per module. It also notes that advisors may produce supporting ...| Zcash Community Forum - Latest posts
1 - It makes the cryptography more complicated - keeping the technical attack surface as low as possible is imperative for money built securely. 2 - It increases the social layer attack vectors from centralized money - circle and tether get to pick the eth chain in the event of a fork, not Ethereum holders. 3 - It slows us down from full implementation of crosslink, Tachyon, may require upgrading ledger (which still doesn’t work) etc etc. 4 - It will not save us.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the coinholder poll about the NU6.1: Coinholder-Directed Retroactive Grants Program. This poll set a new all-time high for coinholder participation. While that is a great milestone, the user experience still has a lot of friction. I have heard from many people who had issues, and I encountered some myself. I would like to use this thread to collect feedback on the Coin Voting 2.0 mechanism so we can improve it for future rounds. Please share your experie...| Zcash Community Forum - Latest posts

Organizational Details How did you learn about Zcash Community Grants? Over the last year, the Zcash community has consistently requested a ShapeShift integration.

Project Overview Requested Grant Amount: $50,000 Category...| Zcash Community Forum - Latest posts

Dear Zcash community, I’m currently developing a module on DeFi and Web3 for a large Business School, and as part of the learning experience, I’m curating a podcast series featuring leading voices from the industry. The goal is to offer students a tangible connection between theory and real-world innovation in web3. Zcash caught my attention, particularly around the themes of privacy, decentralization, and zero-knowledge proofs, which I believe are increasingly relevant in shaping the fut...| Zcash Community Forum - Latest posts
Thank you very much for your feedback. Of course, I personally have some ideas, but getting input from the community is much more important. So far, I see that only 5 people have voted, which makes me think we haven’t been able to provide enough information. Maybe this initiative seems like a dream for now, but it will be heard as the voice of the privacy that Turkey both seeks and needs. Naturally, I would love to realize this in a professional Zcash office space where people could visit e...| Zcash Community Forum - Latest posts
Thanks Josh! Another quick question for the Zashi team, when Tor is enabled, which of the following are routed through Tor right now? Light wallet servers (presumably yes) Exchange rates (presumably yes) NEAR (I think it actually might be using Tor from what I see in the source code) Coinbase (presumably no) Flexa (presumably no) Consider removing “third-party APIs” from the “Beta: Tor Protection” screen unless all of these are a yes. Also consider disabling non-Tor-proxied features w...| Zcash Community Forum - Latest posts
I was like whaaaat? Immediately opened Zashi and realized it is right there, I just has no idea. Thank you @hanh ! I doubt myself now, but I struggle to imagine this is “well known” outside of active Zcash ecosystem members, that is to say, well know to “simple users” of Zcash.| Zcash Community Forum
Dear Zcash Community, We have important decisions ahead that will significantly impact Zcash’s governance and sustainability.

We’ve just shipped the first feature in the Zashi–NEAR integration: a private, decentralized off-ramp for shielded ZEC. Starting today, you can swap shielded ZEC to any NEAR-supported cryptocurrency in Zashi. How It Works Open Zashi and go to More → Swap Enter the amount of shielded ZEC you want to swap. Add the destination wallet address for the cryptocurrency you want to receive. Review the quote and confirm. That’s it! Because you’re swapping from your shielded address, your addr...| Zcash Community Forum - Latest posts

Hey Zcash community! Our team at Daltonic LLC has submitted a new grant proposal to build Cycles AI: A Shielded DeFi Gateway for Zcash. Our mission is to solve a major challenge for Zcash users: accessing the DeFi ecosystem without compromising privacy. Currently, moving ZEC from a shielded address to platforms like Uniswap is a complex and de-anonymizing process that often requires centralized exchanges. Our proposed solution is a user-friendly gateway that will allow anyone to send ZEC from...| Zcash Community Forum
On Wednesday, August 27 at 10AM PST / 1PM EST / 5PM UTC, Shielded Labs will host an interactive workshop on the Zcash Global Discord to mark the completion of Crosslink’s Milestone #3.

We’ll guide participants through joining our custom Testnet and visualizing the two parallel chains, with the goal of getting ...| Zcash Community Forum

NYM now accepts shielded ZEC payments We’re excited to share that the NymVPN Project (NYM) is now the first service to officially accept shielded ZEC payments via the updated BTCPayServer plugin. NYM is a leading provider of decentralized mixnet services — a type of network that anonymizes internet traffic to protect users from surveillance and censorship. Privacy is at the core of everything NYM does: they don’t collect metrics and aim to eliminate any possibility of identifying the pa...| Zcash Community Forum

Sorry my mistake. I thought you were implying it was being used in attacks. My misunderstanding. A manufactuer makes ASICs to sell… Lets say they do spend 50 million on hardware, 16,000 units by your math. They can do what Bitmain does. pre-orders 3+ months before they ship out. Mine with the machines while they wait for a certain amount of orders to be filled. Once a threshold of orders have been met, use the machines to attack some coins to make EXTRA money before you ship them out. Step ...| Zcash Community Forum

Hi there! The original version of this post had a bunch of links, but these forums only allow me two. I’ve put the original version up at [the project wiki]](Zcash Grants post · Wiki · The Tor Project / Core / Arti · GitLab) in case you want to follow the links and find out more. I’m marking the linked words with italics. TLDR: The Tor Project has a project proposal that will solve a network-privacy challenge for Zcash by making Tor easy to embed, customize, and maintain.

During March, a number of proposals for a new Dev Fund were drafted, shared and discussed: Ensuring Flexibility and Sustainability of the Zcash Development Fund by GGuy Manufacturing Consent by Noamchom Zcash DeFi by JGx7 Zcash Funding Bloc by Josh Swihart One approach would be to simply poll the community to ask which of a list of proposals they support. However, that strikes me as somewhat simplistic. There are certain commonalities across these proposals that signpost some key questions th...| Zcash Community Forum
