As mentioned [here](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/review-period-open-coinholder-directed-grants-program-q1-2026/54720/4) the ZExCavator work we were asking to be retroactively funded, _which is subsequent to the ZeWIF covered work_ is [in progress](https://github.com/zcash/zips/pull/1176) but not complete, and is therefore not eligible for retroactive funding.

I will edit the ask to remove the reference, and leave this message by way of explanation.

Our keysweeper work _is_ in progress, and it was our intention to complete it in time for this retroactive funding application, but we reallocated our effort to support a Cross Link prototype mobile application first. The grant application should have been updated to track the shift in priorities and completed work.
