Exploring DeFi Use Cases for Zcash – Community Discussion

Hi everyone,

I’m currently contributing as a DeFi strategist for Zcash Community Grants and wanted to open a discussion around how the community envisions Zcash interacting with DeFi.

Rather than proposing something, I’d really like to hear perspectives from builders, users, and researchers on questions such as:

  • What DeFi use cases make the most sense for ZEC?

  • Where does privacy add the most value in DeFi contexts?

  • Are there existing integrations that should be strengthened rather than new ones pursued?

  • Which areas feel aligned vs. misaligned with Zcash’s core ethos?

This could include topics like cross-chain liquidity, lending/borrowing, DEX support, shielded assets, wallets, wrapped assets or entirely new primitives.

Open to ideas, critiques, and ongoing conversations.

Looking forward to hearing the community’s thoughts.
