I ask about QEDIT because they appear to have done and thought more about the goal of making Zcash smarter then ZF has. If, as you stated, grants are the best source for funding QEDIT then in the medium term maybe ZF don’t need to be funded to support this objective in any substantial way.

So when assessing the funding level requirements currently everything ZF does I’d categorise as supporting and growing Zcash ecosystem.

**Support the Zcash community & Foster the growth of the Zcash ecosystem**

- Management & General
- Community
- Protocol (Zebra)
- Research (FROST)
- ZCG Support

This is great and I’d love for the community to continue funding ZF for these efforts. But I think the concern that has been raised by the community a few times now is that maybe if these are the only strategic goals ZF require funding for maybe 5% of the dev fund is too much.
