Zcash isn't "run" by a single company. Multiple orgs (ECC, ZF, Shielded Labs, FPF, QEDIT, etc.) contribute, while a lockbox + coinholder voting is used to distribute funds to these orgs. The recent ECC–Bootstrap dispute over governance/Zashi is noisy, but the protocol and

Isn't this just like what happened with DOT back in the day? After surging 10x, founder Dr. Gavin Wood resigned. Looking at the current DOT, it was already in a slump from the last cycle, ZEC's this wave of surge ignited the privacy track, and now the core team is collectively

Nate ⓩ @nate_zec · 2026-01-08T18:57:53+00:00

There's a great opportunity to level up your understanding of Zcash by considering why these claims are misleading: "The Zcash devs quit." "There is a Zcash governance crisis." Also worth pondering why some spread these ideas and how you weigh their opinions.

Be careful if you're invested in this project. Such news can lead to massive dumps before any potential reversals. $ZEC has been incredibly strong, and here's how a team clash can ruin everything. However, CEO confirmed protocol isn't affected, could that save the day once

In a free market, profits are proof of serving people. Zcash needs to scale, and that means teams exposed to reality (startups, not foundations). For a free future, encrypted money must eventually compete as a global unit of account. That’s the direction. Onward.

So a good measure of Zcash governance legitimacy in my opinion is if the parties involved in this dispute remain dedicated to Zcash or migrate elsewhere, even when migrating elsewhere is very low cost & even might be a financial ! @grok remind me about this in one year.

$ZEC wanted to do payment processing without providing the main service payment processors provide, which is compliance. That was never going to work, its illegal to get paid without anyone knowing about it... that's called tax evasion, not decentralization.
