Hi Zcash Community -

The ZCG committee has a few updates to provide for the RFP Program with the new year in full swing.

  1. RFP Idea Submission Form: In addition to the RFP ideas, we currently have in the pipeline, we are seeking ideas from the Zcash community to identify gaps in development tooling, resources, or documentation that hinder building on top of Zcash. We have created an RFP Idea Submission form that will help inform the ZCG of the community’s development needs, with the goal of gathering proposals that can be prioritized and developed into RFPs for projects that will improve the development on and usability of Zcash. The form has no deadline, and the idea originator will receive a $500 USD in ZEC bounty reward upon ZCG’s acceptance of an RFP proposal for their idea. The RFP bounties aim to reward community members for their time and incentivize the development of their ideas. Further information can be found under the “Zcash Community Grants RFP Program’’ section of zcashgrants.org. The Idea form and bounty process works like this:

    1. Community member has an idea and fills out the RFP Idea Submission Form
    2. If ZCG is interested in funding the idea, ZCG works with community member to draft and publish an RFP around the idea.
    3. A developer submits a proposal in response to the RFP.
    4. ZCG accepts the proposal for the RFP.
    5. Community member receives the bounty reward of $500.

  2. Standard Terms and Conditions: We are changing the layout of our RFPs to improve the readability of the document and cut to the point of the proposal. Standard language that applies to every proposal will be linked onto the forum thread where the proposal is posted and hosted here. We have also provided clarity about how we will handle the RFP bidding process moving forward.

  3. New RFPs: Finally, we have posted two new RFPs:

As always, please let us know if you have any questions, feedback, or ideas on how to improve the RFP program.

Thank you,

Zcash Community Grants
