Grant Proposal for Zk Av Club Community Support 2025

Fall Update: Zk Av Club Foundry

Here’s what we’ve been up to this fall with Zk Av Club Foundry — Salon and Workshops

Salon

At the end of October, we hosted Foundry Salon as an X Space that was also streamed to YouTube by @robmarn. It’s a 100-minute deep dive into our Recording Station at Dark Prague:

This ended up being our quietest Foundry Salon session of the year in terms of live community interaction. That said, it’s now a solid long-form resource for anyone curious about how we’re thinking about production tooling and on-location infrastructure for Zk Av Club.

Workshops

Since September, the Foundry team has been focused on designing and deploying the Workshops part of our program. Our co-captains @AuraBritoSM and @gordonesTV have been leading comms with community hosts, and workshops are now going live!

Everything we do with Zk Av Club is an experiment and we’re learning a lot as we build the Workshops program with this mindset. Expect to see some dramatic evolution here in the 2026 version of Zk Av Club Workshops.

Extra! Extra!

We’ve received positive feedback from Zcashers about the new skills they’ve picked up, and we’re already seeing those skills show up in their work and collaborations.

Finally, don’t miss Zcash Engineering Office Hours #1 on Tuesday! Keep an eye out for translation streams in Spanish and Portuguese :wink:

Thanks <3

Huge thanks to @ZCG for funding Zk Av Club Foundry — Salon and Workshops — for 2025. Building this community-based educational series has been a lot of fun.
