I’ll include an image here from an article, which is a screenshot of an interactive graphic from the article linked below.*
There’s a lot more that could be said.. SMASH LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE! lol!
But seriously, the remaining independent people connected to this project should keep eyes up, because this connects to important topics, obviously, relating to Zcash.

Good day and good luck.
