I think we should design the future dev fund, assuming there is one, to solve the problems I wrote about in Decentralization and Alignment.
I personally would like to see some funds going to a new entity, not based in the US, with new leadership that has a track record of launching usable products for developers and users despite complex technical challenges. I’d look at getting great people from outside of the cryptocurrency world to join, who aren’t caught up in the industry’s groupthink.
I also think it’s incredibly important to keep funding existing Zcash engineers—the knowledge and experience they bring is irreplaceable and it would be dangerous to cut funding (both from a security point of view and from a point of view of simply being able to continue making progress).
