- Zcash Community Weighs 50,000 ZEC Treasury Shift — this brief
Zcash holders and community panels are scheduled to vote from Nov. 16 through Nov. 30 on a proposal affecting the protocol’s treasury and funding model. According to Crypto Economy, the measure would remove 50,000 ZEC from the grants treasury, with the coins redirected into a newly described Future Development and Legal Defense allocation.
The proposal would also end the Zcash Community Grants organization’s current entitlement to 8% of newly issued coins. Under the funding structure described by Crypto Economy, that share would instead accumulate in the new development and legal-defense fund. The report does not provide details about voting thresholds, implementation timing, or the process for distributing the reallocated funds.
Crypto Economy is the only outlet supplied to cover the proposal, so there is no cross-source corroboration for the 50,000 ZEC amount, the 8% issuance allocation, or the voting dates. Because the coverage is limited, the proposal’s exact mechanics remain the central details for readers to distinguish from any final approved outcome.
