Zcash India 2026

Community Collaborations
1

Greetings Zcash Community!

Following the constructive feedback from the Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) committee on our “Zcash India 2026” proposal (linked here: GitHub Issue and Forum Thread), we’re excited to start contributing to the Zcash ecosystem in smaller, measurable ways. The committee emphasized proving ourselves through contributions to ZecHub and building a track record, so we’re kicking off with low-cost, community-focused activities to onboard Indian developers and raise privacy awareness.

To begin, we’ve set up the official Zcash India channels:

  • X Account: @ZcashIND – Currently 1 follower.

  • Telegram Group: @ZcashIN – Currently 5 members.

We’ll be posting regular Zcash tips, zk basics, and India-relevant content (e.g., privacy in remittances) to grow these organically. In the comments below, we’ll provide regular updates with % increases in stats, details on campaigns, ZecHub contributions, and any small developer sessions we host.

We’re open to suggestions on how to contribute more effectively, especially from ZecHub folks or other regional Zcash communities. Let’s build this together!

Thanks,
Jatin Sahijwani

Zcash India – Progress Update #1 | March 2026

Greetings Zcash Community!

Since launching our channels on February 22, we’ve been heads-down building Zcash India from the ground up. Here’s a transparent update on everything we’ve done and where we’re headed.

:bar_chart: Channel Growth

Platform Launch Today Growth
X (@ZcashIND) 1 follower 49 followers +4,800%
Telegram (@ZcashIN) 5 members 47 members +840%

All growth has been 100% organic with zero paid promotion.

:artist_palette: Content Published

We’ve published 4 to 6 original educational graphics on X covering Zcash basics: what Zcash is, why privacy matters, and how shielded transactions work, designed specifically for the Indian developer and crypto audience. A dedicated series is coming next (more below).

:money_bag: $100 Community Bounty — Live and Getting Submissions

To kickstart organic awareness, we launched a $100 bounty program rewarding developers and crypto community members for writing original threads about Zcash India on X. The bounty is live on both X and Telegram and has already received submissions. This is a deliberate, low-cost strategy to generate authentic grassroots content and extend our reach into India’s existing Web3 communities.

Some of the submissions which were submitted just under 48 hours of announcement, and many more submissions will be there soon, some of the current bounty submissions are following :

We’re committed to building this transparently and proving our execution before asking for anything. Will keep this thread updated regularly with metrics, content links, and ZecHub progress.

Thanks for following along, feedback always welcome!

Zcash India – Progress Update #2 | March 2026

Greetings Zcash Community!

Here is our second progress update since launching Zcash India. Things are moving fast and we have a lot to share.

:bar_chart: Channel Growth

Platform Last Update Today Growth
X (@ZcashIND) 49 followers 80 followers +63%
Telegram (@ZcashIN) 47 members 91 members +93%

Both channels continue to grow organically with zero paid promotion. Telegram nearly doubled since our last update which shows strong interest from India’s developer community.

:artist_palette: Content Published

We have continued publishing original educational graphics on X covering Zcash basics, shielded transactions, and privacy explainers designed specifically for the Indian developer audience. Our latest graphic breaks down the difference between a regular crypto transaction and a Zcash shielded transaction in a simple visual split-screen format that has been well received.

:money_bag: $100 Bounty — 12 Submissions and Counting

The bounty program has generated strong momentum. We have received 12 submissions so far from developers and crypto community members writing original threads about Zcash and Zcash India. One standout submission came from a developer who built a small project explaining Zcash’s underlying mechanism (https://zcash-delta.vercel.app/), which goes well beyond what we expected from the bounty. This is exactly the kind of grassroots builder engagement we were aiming to create.

:handshake: Collaboration with HackTour India

Zcash India officially collaborated with HackTour India, India’s most active developer community, to amplify the bounty program to top developer talent across the country. HackTour India has 912+ followers on X and an extensive network of university clubs, Web3 communities, and hackathon participants across tier 1, 2, and 3 cities. This collaboration brought the bounty directly in front of exactly the kind of builders Zcash needs to reach in India.

:soon_arrow: What’s Next

We are continuing to grow both channels, publishing more localized content including Hindi explainers, and preparing our ZecHub proposal for a university workshop. We will share the proposal link here once it is submitted for community voting.

We remain committed to building this transparently, step by step, with real execution and real numbers. Will keep this thread updated regularly.

Thanks for following along!
