On July twenty first, we opened a runoff ballot of the Zcash Neighborhood Advisory Panel (ZCAP), to find out which of two Dev Fund proposals must be carried out when the present Dev Fund ends in November. The ballot closed this morning, and the outcomes are as follows:
- Hybrid Deferred Dev Fund: Transitioning to a Non-Direct Funding Mannequin – 91 votes (67%)
- Lockbox For Decentralized Grants Allocation (20% possibility) – 40 votes (30%)
4 voters (3%) abstained by selecting neither possibility, and 135 votes had been forged in complete.

We are able to due to this fact conclude that the Hybrid Deferred Dev Fund possibility enjoys majority help throughout the Zcash group. This conclusion is bolstered by the outcomes of other polls of the ZecHub DAO, Zcash Brazil group, and the Zcash Spanish-speaking group.
This end result bodes properly for the way forward for Zcash. It ensures that the Zcash Neighborhood Grants program will proceed to obtain funding over the approaching 12 months, supporting its ongoing mission to fund impartial groups coming into the Zcash ecosystem, and guaranteeing that the Zcash ecosystem can proceed to turn out to be extra decentralized.
This end result can be an essential step within the geographic decentralization of the Zcash ecosystem, because it lays the trail for the Zcash Neighborhood Grants program emigrate from the Zcash Basis (based mostly on america) to the Monetary Privateness Basis (based mostly within the Cayman Islands).
We’d wish to thank everybody who participated on this course of, together with those that drafted proposals; the numerous group members who took half within the discussions and debate on the Zcash group discussion board, on different social media, and in group calls; those that carried out various group polls; and everybody who voted in these polls.
Onward!
