"We did a Design Team retrospective with the work done in 2022 hope you enjoy it! "
My actions/opinions, not ECC’s.
I recorded a podcast (via ZecHub) with one of the Zcash Brazil team members for further context around this grant: Zcash Brasil's latest grant proposal with Samara - YouTube
Thanks for the invitation, and thanks also for the trust and support, we are all together for this purpose of freedom and privacy.
This is
Hello @Michae2xl, Zcash Brazil Team & Zcash Community, I am happy to announce that the @ZcashGrants Committee has unanimously voted to approve this proposal at the most recent meeting.
As part of the approval for this grant, Michael will step down from the Global Ambassador Program to focus on this new endeavor, & ZCG is not currently looking for a new Brazilian Ambassador at this time.
Congrats to @Michae2xl and the team. This a bold initative. A great team. I cant wait to see what Zcash Brazil achieves in 2023.
Thanks everyone for supporting! We’re very happy and excited to make 2023 better than 2022!
uplift!
Thanks for the shout out!
Can’t wait for 2023. Zcash will explode in Brazil. I hope to do some more cool stuff with you guys!
Thanks for the confidence! Happy new year to all! We are ready to work to meet all expectations placed on us!
Great news, can’t wait to see what comes out of this.
It would also be nice to see if the rollout of this initiative could be used as an opportunity to create a process that could be followed, so that other regions would have a clear understanding of the steps required if they would like to set up their own regional programs, who knows, in the future we may have a Zcash India group, a Zcash Nigeria group etc.

Deliverable 2.1: Zcash Brazil team report: Done.
Dear Zcash Community!
We are excited to share our 3.1 milestone - March/2023.
The following report is about the Zcash Brazil 2023 proposal:
Highlights:
Zcon Vozes Brasil Overview: Last Saturday, March 18th, Zcon Vozes Brasil took place at Museu do Manhã, in Rio de Janeiro. The event was produced and sponsored by Zcash Foundation. Zcon in Brazil was a privacy event focused, had ~60 participants, and had a format of breakfast, talks, lunch, more talks, and panels, followed by a happy hour.
The Zcon Vozes Brasil event had as its main goal to disseminate the importance of privacy in the blockchain. During the lectures and panels, several cases and experiences were presented that highlighted the relevance of privacy for the protection of personal data and user security on the network. In addition, the event sought to demystify the idea that only criminals benefit from privacy, a lie that is often sold to society. While governments, banks, and companies have their privacy guaranteed, society is often educated to live under total surveillance, and Zcon Voices Brazil sought to encourage a critical and conscious debate about this fundamental issue.
The first lecture of Zcon Vozes Brasil counted with the presence of Marcos Lustosa and Rodrigo Schonell, both active in Coin ex, who discussed the importance of privacy in centralized (Cex) and decentralized (Dex) exchanges. During his presentation, Marcos emphasized the relevance of events like this to raise awareness in the community about the importance of privacy and the responsibility people should have with their data. He also emphasized that "although people still prefer convenience over privacy, the volume of crypto active trading on Dex still represents less than 10% of the total market volume, indicating that there is much work to be done to raise privacy awareness and expand opportunities in the industry.
During the event, all panels were essential to the public, and by feedback one of the most impactful talks was a presentation by Isabela from Tor, who highlighted how this privacy browser has been instrumental in helping people suffering from censorship in their countries. She cited the example of Iran, where many people, especially women, can only connect to the Internet through Tor. In addition, she mentioned that in some African countries, women are not allowed to go to college, but thanks to the privacy provided by Tor, these women have been able to attend college.
When asked about the criminal use of private networks, Isabela emphasized that one should not blame technology for the acts of malicious individuals. She stressed that prohibiting or criminalizing access to technology is a superficial solution to the problem and that it is important to remember that technology was created to benefit society as a whole, not just a few individuals. Therefore, the executive director of Browser Tor encouraged the responsible use of technology, which should be used to promote privacy and freedom of expression, in addition to fighting censorship and oppression.
Another panel addressed the importance of privacy in DAOs and showed the market that exists of “on-chain bribery”, where people can buy votes and influence decisions. Guiriba Research Paradiguima, a contributor to DAO, and João Kury, a contributor to Bankless Brazil, showed that the governance of Daos is still flawed, even though there are several types of governance. Privacy can help suppress the problems that exist in Daos, such as the influence of whales.
The event was also notable for its concern for the privacy of the participants. Two types of badges were distributed, one for those who allowed themselves to be filmed and another for those who preferred to maintain privacy. This initiative shows the importance of protecting personal data in an increasingly connected world.
Zcon Voices Brazil was Zcon’s first event outside of the US and showed the importance of privacy in Blockchain and how it can be used to change the system through web3 technology.
