## Update: Donate & Contribute page, ZecHub DAO reliability fix

Hi all, here’s a quick update on **Zcash Grants Hub** ([https://zgrantshub.com](https://zgrantshub.com)).

### 💛 New: Donate & Contribute page

**[Donate & contribute · Zcash Grants Hub](https://zgrantshub.com/donate)**

Zcash Grants Hub is free, open source, and community-run. If it’s useful to you, you can now support it directly:

- **Shielded donations.** The donation address is a Unified Address with Orchard, Sapling and transparent receivers. Shielded wallets pay Orchard automatically, so the sender, amount and memo stay encrypted on-chain.
- **ZIP-321 payment QR codes.** Pick an amount, add an optional encrypted memo, then scan, tap _Open in wallet_, or copy the payment request. An _address only_ QR is also available for wallets that don’t read payment requests.
- **Address verification.** The page checks the address checksum in your browser and shows a fingerprint (`u1y46my2…mz7hjjd0`). Compare it with what your wallet displays before sending.
- **Nothing tracked.** The payment request is built entirely in your browser.

Donation address:  
`u1y46my28ta83edswmw9m3du8dx6ypjnf6wncxhuzy8wzps604wh9t9zwk360nq7xdnkyqpfrp7l6tndmynhagtzn5k857rau743etzgjkpy7l6pj7s6j2f8dct8p7zx7u99254ckntqh8lhlvznxsj87zr8lyy87gvxmmect90y6f63w5aqqmdc29tgfknxlz5vctrmh056smz7hjjd0`

Donations fund hosting and ongoing development of the hub. This address is **not** a ZCG, Coinholder, or ZecHub DAO treasury.

Not every contribution is financial. The same page lists other ways to help: contributing code, reporting bugs, reviewing proposals on the forum, applying for grants, and taking part in the ZecHub DAO.

### 🔧 Fixed: ZecHub DAO proposals failing to load

Some of you may have seen **“Failed to load proposals – Indexer 530”** on the ZecHub DAO page. The upstream DAO DAO indexer for Juno went offline, and the page depended on it alone.

The hub now **falls back to querying the ZecHub DAO contracts directly on the Juno chain** through public REST endpoints whenever the indexer is unavailable. Proposals, votes, statuses and proposal details keep loading during indexer outages: [ZecHub DAO proposals · Zcash Grants Hub](https://zgrantshub.com/zechub/proposals)

### 📣 Site-wide announcement bar

A slim, dismissible bar at the top of each page now links to Donate and Contribute. Once you close it, it stays closed.

* * *

Feedback, bug reports and PRs are very welcome. Reply here or open an issue on GitHub: [Issues · gorusys/zcashgranthub · GitHub](https://github.com/gorusys/zcashgranthub/issues)

Thanks to everyone using the hub and supporting Zcash builders! 🛡

I’ve fixed an issue causing several Zcash Grants Hub API endpoints to return **500 Internal Server Error** , affecting grant listings, forum discussions and chain data.

Hey looking good, thanks for building this! Perhaps you and [https://openzcash.org](https://openzcash.org) can team up and collab?

I think having multiple independent sources of info is great to see.

I like the idea. Having everything in one place would definitely make things easier, especially for people who aren’t familiar with GitHub.

One thing I’d really like to see is what happens after a grant is completed. It’s useful to know how much funding a project received and whether it delivered its milestones, but I’d also be interested in seeing whether that project is still active 6 or 12 months later.

I also agree that DAODAO integration could be useful, but I’d probably focus on making the existing grant information easy to understand first.

Nice work so far. Curious to see where this goes.
