The Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) committee, with support from the Financial Privacy Foundation (FPF), is pleased to announce that we have seeded $100,000 worth of liquidity into the ZEC pool on Maya Protocol. All fees earned from this initiative will go directly to ZCG’s treasury.
This step reflects ZCG’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to ZEC on decentralized platforms and further enhancing the utility of Zcash’s privacy-preserving features. Maya Protocol is a cross-chain, decentralized liquidity network that enables native asset swaps across blockchains without wrapping, bridging, or reliance on trusted intermediaries. By seeding the ZEC pool, we are actively supporting Maya’s integration of Zcash and enabling users to trade ZEC in a decentralized and non-custodial environment.
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are critical to the future of Zcash as the ecosystem strives for greater resilience, user privacy, and financial inclusion. This initiative marks a meaningful step toward making shielded ZEC more accessible and liquid across a wider range of platforms.
ZCG’s liquidity position is managed via a 2-of-3 multisig wallet, with keys held by Jason (ZCG), Aaluxx (Maya), and Alex (FPF), using Vultisig, a seedless, multi-device crypto vault.
We extend our thanks to @mayaprotocol and @hanh for their technical contributions to this project, and to @FPF for their openness to innovation and strong collaboration as we continue building a best-in-class grantmaking and grantee support program.
