Hello Zcash Community,
I am excited to announce my self-nomination for a fourth term on the Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) Committee.
When I nominated myself for a third term, I spoke about the need for Zcash to prepare for the “adoption era”. I believe we are still in the early stages of this critical phase. As I speak with new users, they frequently echo some similar views about the intrinsic value and core tenets of Zcash. ZCG recently outlined these foundational pillars in the ZCG Security & Vulnerability Disclosure Initiative:
The significance of these tenets is that they are all underpinned by our existing codebase. Protecting new and existing Zcash users is, without question, of the utmost importance to the ZCG Committee. Without certainty, or as close to certainty as possible, regarding these pillars, the ecosystem cannot thrive.
To that end, I have found myself focused heavily this year on efforts to protect Zcash users. From increasing the number of independent and organizational security experts reviewing Zcash code, to funding robust hardware wallet options, these initiatives drive user safety and reinforce the very guarantees that bring people to Zcash in the first place.
As we continue to build and grow in this adoption era, I would love to hear from the rest of the community: what are your own core tenets, and what is the primary reason you value Zcash?
Thank you,
GGuy
