Project Updates
Subscribe to ZecHub Shielded Newsletter! We opened for sign ups yesterday. Ecosystem News + Network Stats received straight to your wallet. We intend to release an app and guide that will let anyone create their own newsletters (with paid subscriptions!).
We started the year presenting our Roadmap in a community call presenting deliverables and milestones. Watch the replay if you missed it!
We posted our first RFP for a community member to build a testnet faucet and provide documentation! Thanks to James Katz this work had already been completed. We will be posting the next (less technical) RFP within the next 2 weeks.
We have applied for funding via Penumbra IAN Microgrants. This is effort toward our long term goal of becoming an education hub for the shielded ecosystem, offering bounties in a combination of shielded assets, building understanding & interactions between aligned projects and communities.
We’ve also been coordinating with Zcash Brazil, Zcash Espanol, Zcash Nigeria and Zcash Turkey for ZconVI event this March.
Vito has been working on improving the quality of all content being posted. This includes creating thumbnails for our youtube videos, post production on shorts/tutorials in addition to writing the shielded news & recent zero to zero knowledge article + posting announcements to the Zcash server.
We are also scheduling community events with Piratechain and Nym communities.
ZecHub Store redesign is in-progress!
We have started our own mastodon server, purchased with shielded ZEC! Its more decentralized, we own the server, no adds, and it is our hope this can become our safe space in the unlikely event other networks are inaccessible. You can interact with the entire mastodon eco and represent zechub.
This is opt-in, so please let us know if you want to join and Dismad will send you an invite link.
We have also worked on adding more data to our dashboard. By request he have added lockbox, difficulty, and networkSOLps data. We are currently working on adding support for the front end graphing. It is worth noting
All of this data is collected via full nodes and distributed for everyone.
