I have a proven track record in building and sustaining thriving communities and fostering collaborations aligned with the project’s goals. Additionally, my experience extends to involvement in various social projects, further enriching my ability to bring value to communities.

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
The journey we started individually has been continuing for almost a year. We are working from the ground up to build a strong and organic community.
Project Purpose and Goals:
This project aims to introduce Zcash to a wider audience in Turkey, raise awareness about financial privacy, and build a strong Turkish Zcash community. By combining Turkey’s interest in cryptocurrencies with Zcash’s advanced privacy technology, we seek to inform people about this innovative project and encourage its adoption.
Our Goals:
Raising 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: Creating an active Turkish Zcash community on Telegram, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media platforms.
Long-Term Growth: Increasing the use of Zcash in Turkey and growing the community in a sustainable way.
Local Events: Organizing events to provide people with accurate information about “Zcash Privacy.”
As we continue to move forward in line with all these goals, we are proud to present our past statistics transparently and remain sustainable.
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 Turkey Team will consist of three people: Batuhan, Bulut, and Mustafa.
Awareness and Education Campaigns
To promote the technological advantages offered by Zcash in Turkey and raise awareness about financial privacy, we will produce content for social media and YouTube.
As part of this initiative:
Social Media Content: Engaging and informative social media materials highlighting financial privacy and the technologies offered by Zcash will be prepared and presented in a simple and accessible way to reach a wide audience.
Video Series: A series of videos will include current news and fundamental information about Zcash.
We are already actively carrying out all these efforts on a regular basis. Here, I am including both X statistics and links to our latest reports. Fundamental steps have been taken for a strong community, and progress is continuing smoothly.
Purpose: To introduce Zcash to a wider audience in Turkey by engaging with people through social media, online, and in-person activities, and by addressing their needs.
Ensuring that all resources related to Zcash are accessible in Turkish.
Providing one-on-one support to the community.
Organizing plans through the Zbase initiative by inviting privacy-focused guests.
Hosting social media competitions.
Participating in events.
As a team, we are taking on all responsibilities related to Zcash to bring the Turkish community to the highest level.
Dependencies
Our community is not dependent on external entities.
Technical Approach
Core Activities:
Participation in events and organizations in Turkey.
Zcash video series (YouTube).
Management and moderation of channels such as Telegram, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.
In this proposal, an additional monthly fund of USD 700 is requested specifically for events. This amount will be held in a separate wallet and used exclusively for upcoming events.
This budget will cover AMA sessions, reward-based Twitter campaigns, local events, and crypto-related participation. Any unused portion of the event budget will be returned (or carried over to the next period) after reporting.
A significant portion of the budget was used while attending the IBW event.
Additionally, we have a remaining event balance of $700 from the previous period.
The estimated budget for Zcash Turkey will be used to cover the working expenses of the team members.
Other expenses included in the budget:

Startup Funding Justification

If the proposal is approved, the first report will be submitted on September 19, 2025.
We are happy to answer any questions or feedback you may have.
The end of the proposal period coincides with the beginning of 2026.
