On the Zgo to Zebra migration proposal ZGo Migration to Zebra - Grant Application - I will keep this focused on the core evaluation points.
Impact
Migrating ZGo to Zebra aligns with the long-term direction of the ecosystem. It reduces reliance on deprecated components and improves reliability for applications and vendors that depend on Zcash payments.
Clarity
Two items need tightening for a clean review:
- A clear sequencing of the migration steps.
- A verification path that lets reviewers confirm each milestone independently.
Both are standard adjustments and do not affect feasibility.
Alignment
This work supports Zcash’s core mission by strengthening shielded-capable tooling and reducing fragmentation across implementations. It does not introduce new long-term operational overhead.
Treasury considerations
The requested amount is modest and does not create multi-cycle risk. The engineering lift is focused and produces reusable value for the ecosystem.
Based on the current structure, I am inclined to support the proposal, subject to the clarifications noted above.
