ZCAP NU7 Sentiment Polling (January 2026)

Governance
1

This poll is intended to gauge coinholder and community sentiment on a set of proposed Zcash protocol features and initiatives. It includes 11 questions, each focused on a specific proposal that is either completed or expected to be ready within the next year. The goal is to better understand where there is alignment, uncertainty, or divergence in sentiment across the ecosystem.

Participants are encouraged to take their time when responding. We recommend reviewing the relevant proposals, discussing them with others, and making informed, thoughtful decisions. The poll will remain open until Friday, February 20 at 8:00pm UTC. If it becomes clear that additional time is needed for review or discussion, the polling period may be extended.

This poll is one of several taking place in parallel, all asking the same questions. Responses will be collected across multiple groups, including coinholders, ZCAP, and various engineering and community panels. Once polling concludes, results will be compared across all groups to assess whether there is clear, broad consensus. Individual poll results are advisory and non-binding on their own, and are evaluated together with all other poll results to assess whether there is clear consensus. If results are close or unclear, the organizers may run additional polling or a follow-up round to better understand community sentiment.

Important Notes

  • You may choose to abstain from any question or indicate indifference by leaving it unanswered; however, a response to at least one question is required in order to submit your ballot.
  • Once submitted, your ballot is considered final and may not be altered or withdrawn.
  • All ZCAP members should have received an email from the Zcash Foundation titled “Vote Invitation: ZCAP NU7 Sentiment Polling (January 2026)” sent from election@siv.org.
