Houdiniswap: Retroactive Zcash Grant Proposal
- Proposal Summary
HoudiniSwap is seeking $30,000 in retroactive grant funding to recognize the engineering, integration, and testing work completed to support native Zcash (ZEC) swaps. The grant would also support ongoing maintenance, reliability, and continued access to cross-chain ZEC swaps.
The integration enables users to exchange native ZEC for assets across 100+ supported blockchains through HoudiniSwap’s aggregated routing platform.
- What We Have Delivered
- Native ZEC integration: Added support for native ZEC within HoudiniSwap’s platform.
- Cross-chain private swaps: Enabled private swap routes between ZEC and assets across 100+ supported blockchains, including Bitcoin, Tron, Cardano, and TON.
- Standard swaps without a wallet connection: Enabled users to swap assets into ZEC without connecting their wallets.
- End-to-end integration: Integrated ZEC into the existing quoting, order execution, and transaction status-tracking flows.
- Demonstrated Adoption
As of October 26, 2026, the integration has delivered the following results:
- $16.13 million in cumulative native ZEC swap volume.
- 2,833 completed swaps.
- Approximately $5,695 in average swap volume per transaction.
- Top 15 asset ranking: ZEC ranks among HoudiniSwap’s top 15 assets by cumulative swap volume across supported networks.
These results demonstrate meaningful usage of the integration and provide evidence of demand for cross-chain access to native ZEC.
- Proposed Use of Grant Funding
The requested $30,000 retroactive grant would recognize the engineering and testing work already completed while helping sustain the integration.
Funding would cover:
- Integration engineering: Recognition of the completed native ZEC integration and related development work.
- Maintenance and compatibility: Ongoing maintenance of routing logic and compatibility with integrated exchange providers.
- Transaction monitoring: Monitoring transaction execution and status reporting to help identify integration issues.
- User support: Maintaining a reliable user experience for cross-chain ZEC swaps.
- Ecosystem Contribution
Houdiniswap is listed in the official Zcash ecosystem directory:
Through this integration, Houdiniawap expands access to native ZEC by connecting it with assets and liquidity across multiple blockchain networks, helping make Zcash more accessible to users across the broader crypto ecosystem.
Happy to discuss!
