Summary
In July, we built on the strong foundation of the first month and significantly expanded our reach. Our Telegram and X/Twitter channels saw meaningful growth, while we continued producing consistent and educational Zcash-related content across all platforms. The highlight of the month was the successful offline meetup in Dnipro on July 19, which brought together Ukrainian professionals to discuss financial privacy and Zcash in an informal but informative setting.
