The Coinholder-Directed Retroactive Grants Program is now accepting proposals for the Q1 2026 round. You can submit a proposal for your own completed work or nominate an individual, company, or project you believe should receive funding to apply for a grant. Retroactive grants provide funding for work that has already been completed and can be publicly verified. Coinholders will decide which proposals to fund through a coinholder vote scheduled for March.
Deadline to submit a proposal: February 15 at 11:59pm UTC
After the submission deadline, there will be a mandatory 30-day review period from Monday, February 16 to Tuesday, March 17. The coinholder poll will then run from Thursday, March 19 through Monday, March 30.
How to Submit:
- Complete the proposal template on GitHub.
- Copy and paste your completed proposal into a new separate thread in the Community Grants | Retroactive Grants section of the Zcash Community Forum so the community can provide feedback on each proposal.
If you have any questions about the process or your submission, please post them in this thread.
