Below is the final list of questions. We’ve decided to remove “Abstain / Indifferent” as a response option. Because each question is voted on independently, and responses cannot be linked across questions, there is no need for an option to abstain, and excluding it helps produce clearer signals of support or opposition. If you wish to abstain on a particular question, simply skip that question.
Poll Questions
-
What is your general sentiment toward including Zcash Shielded Assets (ZSAs) as a protocol feature?
a. Support
b. Oppose -
What is your general sentiment toward adding protocol support for the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM), including smoothing the issuance curve, which allows ZEC to be removed from circulation and later reissued as future block rewards to help sustain network security while preserving the 21 million ZEC supply cap?
a. Support
b. Oppose -
What is your general sentiment toward burning 60% of transaction fees via the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM)? The goals are to demonstrate Zcash’s commitment to long-term sustainability, to burn ZEC so that it can be re-issued in the future without exceeding the 21M supply cap, and in the context of dynamic fees, to prevent miners from manipulating fees.
a. Support
b. Oppose -

What is your general sentiment toward “Orchard quantum recoverability”, which aims to ensure that if the security of elliptic curve-based cryptography came into doubt (due to the emergence of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer or otherwise), then new Orchard funds could remain recoverable by a later protocol — as opposed to having to be burnt in order to avoid an unbounded balance violation?
a. Support
b. Oppose
