Zcash keeps making leaps in privacy technology. ZKPs being an example, Halo, and what will likely be ZSAs. In the past, none of that translated to helping Zcash, which in turn, should help the treasury that would allow for continued grant disbursements for continued advancement in privacy tech. QEDIT has been amazing; is there a way for Zcash to benefit from all these privacy advancements instead of being eternally generous? Seeing the project for the Shekel-Backed stablecoin be on Solana is a little jarring.
Agreed that ZEC needs to be seen as Digital Gold and Store of Value. The last 8 years make it difficult for anyone to see it that way. ZSAs would help push that forward, but at the same time BTC doesn’t have any highly adopted solutions on top of it.
Is ZEC the base of private infrastructure, is it a Store of Value, is it for day-to-day transactions? I think messaging needs to be clear so everyone knows what ZEC really is and what the direction of the project is. Lack of direction leads to negative outcomes that don’t need to be elaborated on.
