Project Summary
To build a knowledgeable Turkish community about Zcash and create a broad, strong network by providing accurate resources to people seeking privacy.
Project Description
We’ve had a successful period over the past three months and managed to build a solid community foundation. In the upcoming period, we aim to take the community to the next level. With the approaching summer season, we’ll be engaging in various active initiatives, especially crypto events. You can check out the details here.
Project’s Purpose and Goals:
This project aims to introduce Zcash to a wider audience in Turkey, increase awareness of financial privacy, and build a strong Turkish Zcash community. By combining Turkey’s interest in cryptocurrencies with Zcash’s advanced privacy technology, we aim to make people aware of this innovative project and encourage its adoption.
Our Goals:
Creating Awareness: Educating individuals in Turkey about financial privacy and Zcash technologies.
Education and Content Creation: Providing comprehensive information through social media, YouTube, blogs, and events.
Community Building: Establishing an active Zcash community in Turkish on Telegram, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media platforms.
Long-term Growth: Increasing Zcash adoption in Turkey and sustainably growing the community.
Hosting local events to provide people with the right information “about Zcash Privacy”
Proposed Problem
The primary challenge this project aims to address is the lack of awareness and understanding of financial privacy and Zcash’s innovative technology in Turkey. Despite the growing interest in cryptocurrencies, most individuals in Turkey remain unaware of privacy-focused solutions like Zcash, which could empower them to manage their finances securely and privately.
Additionally, there is a noticeable gap in localized resources, educational content, and community-driven initiatives about Zcash in Turkey. Without these, potential users cannot fully grasp the benefits of Zcash or feel encouraged to become part of its ecosystem. This gap hinders Zcash’s adoption and limits its visibility in a region with significant cryptocurrency activity.
By addressing these challenges, this project aims to bridge the knowledge gap, foster community engagement, and promote the adoption of Zcash in Turkey.
Proposed Solution
The Zcash Türkiye Team will consist of three members: Batuhan Bulut and TuaMorre.
Awareness and Education Campaigns
To raise awareness about financial privacy and introduce the technological advantages offered by Zcash in Türkiye, we will be creating content for social media and YouTube.
As part of this initiative:
Social Media Content: Eye-catching and informative social media materials will be prepared to highlight financial privacy and the technologies Zcash provides. These materials will be presented in a simple and accessible manner to reach a broad audience.
Educational Series: A series titled “Learning Zcash” will be developed to create a comprehensive and easy-to-understand knowledge base for individuals who are new to the crypto world or seeking fundamental information.
Our ongoing efforts continue. I’d like to include a forum link to provide access to all resources in one place.
The YouTube video series will continue weekly on a regular basis until all foundational resources are created. These videos will serve as a reference to build a knowledge library, ensuring a continuous flow of information for many years. Once the foundational resources are complete, we will start including our commentary, providing updates and developments about Zcash to the audience every week.
Social Media Campaign:
Regular informative visuals and video posts about Zcash will be shared daily on Twitter and Instagram. Additionally, three YouTube Shorts videos will be uploaded weekly to create a resource accessible to those who may not watch full-length YouTube videos.Examples include:Educational posts: Highlighting Zcash’s privacy features and benefits.Short videos: Quick tips or updates about Zcash to engage viewers on-the-go.
Awarded Video and Article Competitions: We will organize awarded article and video competitions to engage more people in the community. These competitions will encourage participants to research Zcash further and find more resources. As a result, more people will join the community and become knowledgeable about the project.
Telegram Support: In addition to encouraging people to join our Turkish Telegram group, we aim to provide continuous support and information on both Telegram and Discord to assist our community. This will demonstrate that, in the future, our Telegram group will become a much more active and interactive platform.
Goal: To promote Zcash to a wider audience in Turkey by leveraging social media, online, and face-to-face activities to engage with people and meet their needs.
Key Initiatives:
Creation of social media posts and YouTube videos about Zcash.
Turkish translations of Zcash documentation.
Hosting podcast events.
onversations with other privacy projects.
Providing comprehensive support to newcomers about Zcash.
Posting regular blog posts on Zcash.tr
Communicating one-to-one with people by organizing Local Tea events and Comprehensive organizations
Cooperation with other Zcash Communities
In the new term, with the support of the event budget, you’ll see many activities like this. All of them will be result-oriented.
Dependencies
Our community is not dependent on external entities.
Technical Approach

In this proposal, an additional $700 per month is requested specifically for events. This amount will be held in a separate wallet address and will be used solely for upcoming activities. All expenditures will be transparently published through both GitHub and the forum.
This budget will cover AMA sessions, reward-based Twitter campaigns, local events, and crypto-related participations. Any unused portion of the event budget will be refunded after reporting (or carried over to the next term).
The estimated budget for Zcash Turkey will be used to cover the working expenses of the team members.

Startup Funding (USD)
2600
Startup Funding Justification
Our initial funding request is based on the fact that we have consistently submitted reports on the 19th of each month for the past three months. In our original proposal, we did not request a budget for the third month, as we had stated we would be submitting a new proposal. However, due to a misunderstanding, we did not get the opportunity to present that proposal.
To ensure the continuation of our progress and maintain consistency, we are now requesting a starting fund. If the proposal is approved, the first report will be submitted on May 19, 2025.
We would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Supporting Documents
We are making a dedicated effort to improve ourselves and contribute to the community. Our goal is to move forward by becoming more active and more successful.
Update:
Our team continues to make progress. We are actively working to grow the community.
To better understand the development within our community, we launched a poll in the Zcash Türkiye Telegram group. You can join the group to view the results of the poll.
Approximately 30 people participated in the poll. The community supports our progress but also requests more active involvement in certain areas — specifically, community activities and participation in local events.
To accelerate our growth, we have requested a small event budget for this period.
Our first project with this budget is already set.
We had a meeting with the Yalova University Fitness Club and will be sponsoring them.
We aim for a long-term and socially impactful collaboration.
Our goal is to build a strong connection with the university and be part of a social movement, while introducing them to Zcash and creating meaningful engagement.
We have completed the necessary arrangements, and to start, 20 custom t-shirts will be printed and used in an upcoming running event.
Additionally, to encourage onboarding into the ecosystem, every participant at the launch event who downloads the Zashi wallet will receive a $5–10 ZEC reward.
Of course, the realization of these plans depends on the response to our proposal.
We are a committed team that strives to use Zcash’s resources wisely and is always open to growth.
We hope everything continues to move forward smoothly!
Zcash Türkiye keeps progressing!
With summer approaching, many more social events and activities are on the horizon.
Thank you to everyone who believes in us!
