Governance Proposals and Funding Updates
Recent discussions highlighted 65 new topics and 75 new participants, focusing on several governance initiatives. A proposal to send 50,000 ZEC to the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM) while retaining 35 % of ZCG payouts received support. Another draft introduced a Zcash Adoption Pool (ZAP) intended to fund adoption projects. A separate suggestion called for ending Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) at NU8, redirecting its 8 % block‑reward share to the NSM and halting new grants. Conversations also addressed community concerns over transphobia and antisemitism, urging greater inclusivity. Additional plans aim to reduce ZCG’s funding by moving excess ZEC to the NSM and adjusting future block‑reward allocations.
