Zcash Co-founder Proposes Ending ZCG Funding Stream
Zcash co-founder Sean Bowe has proposed ending the 8% block reward share to Zcash Community Grants (ZCG), which currently holds over $125 million, and redirecting it to the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM). Bowe's draft Zcash Improvement Proposal (ZIP) suggests that ZCG can still approve grants from its existing treasury while the funding stream is turned off. Other proposals are emerging in the Zcash community, with some members advocating for broader changes to the development fund structure, including the termination of the Coinholder-Controlled Fund.
