Zcash founder: Zcash distributes over 8000000 USD in retroactive grants
PANews October 1 reported that Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox posted on X that Zcash recently distributed more than 8000000 USD in retroactive grants, including millions of USD in rewards to contributors who volunteered to protect users during this year's AI vulnerability crisis. Zooko said that these grants once again demonstrate that Zcash has a sustainable, capture-resistant mechanism for self-financing and self-governance. In the future, Zcash plans to conduct similar grants multiple times a year after improving the relevant mechanisms. He added that implementing this round of upgrades to the self-financing and governance mechanisms requires multiple organizations, including Valar,ZODL, Vizor, and others, as well as holders and the nonprofit organization Financia... using approximately 3000000000 USD ZEC for anonymous voting.
