Hello everyone, and greetings from a new reporting period.
We’ve just completed a month in which we truly understood how important the foundations of progress are. We have some exciting and encouraging news for us. Reaching the point where we are finally capable of achieving what we have been trying to build makes us very happy.
Before the formal report, we wanted to share this update with you. We would also really appreciate hearing feedback from everyone who reads it.
For more than two years, the Zcash Türkiye team has been reaching out to universities, local event venues, and exchanges, but our efforts repeatedly ended without results.
The reason was simple: Zcash is a privacy-focused project. We experienced this many times.
However, thanks to our recent efforts and our team working behind the scenes to continuously arrange meetings and build relationships, we now want to take a new path.
Zcash Türkiye University Tour
This will not be a series of ordinary university visits.
We are planning events together with the blockchain clubs of universities, creating a structured program where students can learn about Zcash, privacy, financial freedom, and the broader ecosystem.
We are currently working on the planning process.
Here is a short list of universities where we have already held meetings and received approval:
*** Istanbul University**
*** Yıldız Technical University**
*** Piri Reis University**
*** Istinye University**
*** Erciyes University**
*** Alparslan University**
*** Van Yüzüncü Yıl University**
*** İzzet Baysal University**
In addition, we have discussed introductory Zcash ecosystem events with more than 10 other universities.
Before finalizing the details, we are very happy to announce that we have now reached out to and received approval from 28 universities across 13 different cities.
This means that Zcash Türkiye has reached a point where we can potentially collaborate with 28 universities around topics where financial freedom and privacy are increasingly important.
Of course, this initiative will come with costs — transportation, team expenses, merchandise, small ZEC balances for participants, and other operational expenses.
Because of this, we are currently considering whether we should include all of these universities in the first round of the tour or start with a smaller initial program.
We will also submit a funding proposal through ZCG for this tour.
We will finalize the details soon and publish a separate forum post with the full plan.

We’re continuing to post short-form videos actively. Our channel was flagged for a violation, so we sent an email to find out the reason. Even though we haven’t made any financial recommendations or promotions, YouTube’s AI moderation system flagged our channel for a violation.
Telegram :
We continue to actively engage with the community. Recently, we did some cleanup and removed a number of bots and deleted/inactive accounts from the group. We’ll continue to carry out this filtering regularly.
We continue to actively develop both Zecmap and Zecmarket. We are working on the Zecmarket platform to build a marketplace dedicated specifically to Zcash.
