Hello, everyone!
@ZCG has received a lot of interesting questions on ZconVI. So that they don’t get lost in Whova, we decided to create this thread and answer these questions as much as possible. I will also transfer the answers from Whova here and answer some questions on behalf of ZCG.
I also move some complex questions that will be in unanswered status for now, because I can’t answer them without discussion. But we will definitely discuss them at the next meetings.
Question by @pacu:
“What is ZCG’s vision for 2025 and onwards”
Overall, ZCG will address the set objectives based on the key priorities of the Zcash community. We are also open to exploring any opportunities that can expand Zcash’s use cases, but we will do so with consideration for market conditions and the real benefits to the ecosystem.
For a more detailed response, ZCG members discuss this topic in the ZconVI video.
Question by @zancas:
“Do you see liberated payments as having amazing potential for great ROI for onboarding people into Zcash? Could liberated-payments as a gateway into Zcash Based Messaging radically lower the barrier to entry?"
"I personally see liberated payments as a great tool to onboard people. its hard to say about the ROI, but it definitely makes onboarding easier and getting people their first ZEC. Zcash should go where the users are, but the users also have to be open to trying out new things.”
Additional answer:
Yes, this is definitely a growth point. Imagine you just send someone a link in a chat - they download a wallet, receive ZEC, and get introduced to Unstoppable Private Money, even if they’ve never heard of it before. No need for long explanations, convincing, or preparation - if the amount is motivating enough, they’ll figure it out on their own, and the wallet will guide them through all the key details.
This opens up new possibilities. For example, leaving a tip in ZEC - quick and easy. Or simply sending someone a small gift. Isn’t that cool? It’s similar to an airdrop but in a personalized format. Mass airdrops have long lost their effectiveness because hunters create groups, immediately sell the received coins, and rarely bother to learn about the project. Liberated payments, on the other hand, provide a personal experience that is far more engaging.
When someone receives ZEC, they are highly likely to want to learn more. They will research Zcash on their own, watch videos from Zcash Media, embrace the idea, and maybe even become part of the community. This type of onboarding works much better than simple giveaways - it creates genuine interest. It’s truly a powerful marketing tool.
Question by @nuttycom:
“Something that Zcash will need in the near future is a protocol-level mechanism for creating distributions from the funding lockbox. Such work could proceed independent of decisions about the social layer for this - has ZCG considered putting out an RFP for this work?”
Question by @amiller:
“Are there better compromises for stablecoins where issuers do not have full visibility traceability into the transaction data involving their ZSAs? any ways to impose limits on how much tracing?”
Question by @dismad:
“Can you discuss recent updates with the ZCG Dashboard? I think the new visuals are very helpful with communicating ZCG financials in an open fashion”
We absolutely support this opinion. Infographics make information easier to perceive and more visually accessible, which is especially important for financial transparency.
Question by @zancas:
“Could it be that Zcashd deprecation is going quite well given the complexity of the problem?”
Question by @ZecMec:
“With multiple organisations and individuals contributing to the evolution of Zcash it seems we all might be in dire need of a Club House to relax, collaborate and even to disagree (healthily!) together. Will any members of the panel be in France this summer to join us for the inaugural Shielded Sandbox event at The Zebra Lounge?”
@artkor:
I can only answer for myself here. That despite the fact that I like such initiatives very much, I will not be able to be in Europe this year, because it has become much more problematic to get a Schengen visa.
Question by @pitmutt:
“Have you received feedback on the new Github process for grant submission?”
We’ve heard a few positive comments, no negative comments. It just works!
Thank you all for your questions, we will be sure to discuss and add to this thread.
