Dear Zcash Community,

It is really important for us to get feedback from you on a particular matter. For almost a year, I have been part of this community and have been trying to represent Zcash in the best possible way. I believe that with your feedback, we can lay the foundations for a more sustainable initiative.

Please, if you have time, leave your feedback and cast your vote on this topic.

Recently, we launched an initiative called **Zbase**. This is a privacy-focused series of podcasts, competitions, and events that we started entirely on our own initiative. Months ago, I prepared a presentation about this, but I never submitted an official proposal to ZCG.

**Zbase** was launched as an independent initiative covering all privacy-focused projects, wallets, VPNs, and individuals.

However, I have some questions in mind, and resolving them is very important for creating a more sustainable system.

We see two possible paths forward and would like feedback from the community:

* * *

**Option 1: Maintain Independence**

- Zbase will continue as an independent initiative, just as it started.

- To ensure sustainability, it will publish videos with sponsorships from various projects, wallets, or VPNs.

- Currently, the studio we have set up is a small space created with our own resources; hosting guests, organizing events, and holding live broadcasts will be relatively challenging.

- In other words, it will operate independently from Zcash.

**Option 2: Official ZCG-Funded Office**

- Zbase would request funding from ZCG and operate from a larger, higher-quality office.

- In this office, people could visit six days a week during set hours, enjoy tea/coffee, pick up Zcash brochures, attend live broadcasts, and participate in community events.

- With Zcash funding, Zbase would be able to create a professional office and continue its activities.

- Video sponsorships from other projects, wallets, VPNs, or individuals would have 50% of the funds directed to ZCG, ZecHub, or a designated wallet address, with proper reporting.

- This way, Zbase would continue to grow while returning a portion of its sponsorship income to the Zcash ecosystem, creating a sustainable model.
