Could you help me locate the daodao proposal link for this grant application?
Iβm currently integrating DAODAO into zcashgranthub and testing things out, so I need that reference.
hey. to bring some clarity to you. DAODAO is used by ZecHub only for smaller projects and mini grants funded by ZecHub. and ZCG grants dont use DAODAO. only github + forum and the google sheet that also has a lot of older grants not in github: Zcash Community Grants + Coinholder Grants Dashboard (Updated Version) - Google Sheets

Zcash Ghana Meetup Report**
Date: Monday, 23rd May 2026
Time: 12 PM β 3:00 PM
Venue: Conference Hall, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Kumasi Technical University.
Event Summary:
The Kumasi Zcash Ghana Meet-up, held on the 23rd of May 2026 at the Engineering Conference Hall, was a huge success. The event recorded an impressive turnout, with a total of 44 attendees, including the executives of the Computer Science department who honored the program with their presence and support.
The students showed great enthusiasm throughout the session. They were eager to listen, learn, and fully understand what Zcash is all about, especially its focus on privacy, digital payments, and financial freedom.
During the presentation, I was able to simplify and break down the concept of Zcash in a way that was easy for the students to understand and relate with.
One of the highlights of the event was the level of engagement from the participants. After the session, several questions were directed at me regarding how they could purchase ZEC, how to start using it for transactions, and whether ZEC can also serve as a store of value.
This showed the growing interest and curiosity among the students towards cryptocurrency adoption and privacy-focused financial technology.
A practical demonstration session was also conducted where attendees were taught how to download and set up the Zodl Wallet.
Most of the participants successfully downloaded the wallet during the session, making the meetup not only educational but also practical and interactive.
To capture the memorable moments of the meetup, group photographs were taken, and videos of the presentation were also recorded. The media team is currently working on the videos for proper documentation and publication.
Overall, the Kumasi Zcash Ghana Meet-up achieved its goal of educating students about Zcash and introducing them to the importance of privacy in digital payments.
The positive response and active participation from attendees clearly indicate the potential for a growing Zcash and blockchain community within Kumasi and beyond.
