Qdev for ZCG (June 2025)
I’m Qdev, a zechub developer, graphic artist, and writer. I currently serve on the Zcash Ad Hoc Caucus (ZAC) and am an active contributor to the zechub Design SubDAO core team.
When I first joined the zechub community via Dework, I was immediately drawn in by the collaborative spirit and shared mission. Over time, this community has become more than just a group of collaborators, it’s become a family. I’ve had the opportunity to contribute in multiple ways: co-developing the zechub website, designing visuals for various initiatives, competing in several creative challenges, and even building “Zchat,” a Zcash-based crypto messaging app that earned me a runner-up spot in the 2024 hackathon. I should also mention that I have spread the word about Zcash to several individuals and relevant communities, guiding talented people and tech enthusiasts through the onboarding process to boost the growth and participation in the Zechub community.
Why I’m Running
I’ve spent the past year engaging deeply with the Zcash ecosystem, often from a builder’s perspective. However, having observed key decisions being made that shape our future, I’ve long hoped to be a part of ZCG. This offers a chance to step into that role and represent the community with the care, creativity, and strategic insight I’ve cultivated over time. I’ll bring a builder’s mindset, a designer’s eye, and a heart for transparency and community.
Vision
• Empower Creators: I have a vision to improve access to funding and support for grassroots developers and designers.
• Design-Driven Growth: I believe in creative storytelling and polished design to boost adoption and understanding and plan to adopt that.
• Transparent Governance: I plan to promote clear, accountable decision-making.
• Welcoming New Talent: I also plan to onboard and mentor newcomers, especially from underrepresented regions as I have always done.
I’ve shown commitment, energy, and results. Now, I want to help more builders and creatives thrive in Zcash. Thanks for your support!
Design. Build. Govern. Together.
