Dump your DOTs for ZEC!

More seriously, I’m glad both ecosystems are connected and am looking forward to more in the future.

I love Kusama, at least in concept. I would love it if Zcash had its own canary/chaos network… with a tradeable token of course!

What I’d love is to have ZEC fully integrated into Kusama, even including transactions fees! But also for Zcash to leverage Kusama for governance. It’d require the mindset of many community members on both sides to switch from 🤑 to :thinking: .

Blockchains collaboration is the next frontier.
