Draft NU7.1 Poll
Instructions: Please consider each proposal independently. You may support more than one proposal, including proposals that conflict with each other, if you would find any of those outcomes acceptable. The results will help us assess which proposals have broad support.
Question 1: Do you support the Wind Down Zcash Community Grants proposal?
This proposal would wind down ZCG, end new grants, and honor existing commitments. Remaining funds would go to the NSM after closure costs. Ending ZCG’s funding stream would require a separate proposal.
- Support
- Oppose
- Abstain
Question 2: Do you support the Future Dev and Legal Defense Fund proposal?
This proposal is a compromise that led several authors to withdraw their competing proposals. It would redirect ZCG’s 8% funding stream to a new lockbox requiring community approval for disbursements, contribute 50,000 ZEC to the NSM, and preserve ZCG with its remaining treasury.
- Support
- Oppose
- Abstain
Question 3: Do you support the Zcash Adoption Pool (ZAP) proposal?
This proposal would retain the treasury and 8% funding stream through November 2028. It would rename the program and focus grants on increasing the number of people who hold or transact in ZEC.
- Support
- Oppose
- Abstain
Question 4: Do you support maintaining ZCG’s existing funding and operations?
This option would continue ZCG’s 8% funding stream through the November 2028 halving, with its treasury and current operations unchanged.
- Support
- Oppose
- Abstain
Question 5
Do you support reducing Zcash’s target block time from 25 seconds to 20 seconds as part of NU7.1, as described in this proposal?
- Support
- Oppose
- Abstain
