Major Achievements

Project Updates

During September Squirrel joined a podcast episode on Zcash with @LorenzoSchoenleber for the European School of Business. He also hosted a ZecHub Hackathon Community space on X. We covered each component of the Z3 stack as well as gave explainers on lightwallet servers, encrypted memos and future network upgrades. Thank you Pacu for joining!

Squirrel has coordinated with Decentralistdan towards sending Zcash swag from ZecHub Store for the upcoming Dark Prague event. He’s also been managing the Ecosystem Digest and Bounty program: creating tasks, reviewing submissions and scheduling payments.

A Community Town Hall on the Coinholder Directed Retroactive Grant Program was hosted by squirrel alongside Josh, Alex and Jason McGee. This was an informative discussion in which the reason and structure of the program was explained for the audience. Squirrel also joined the Digital Gold Talk Podcast last Friday to provide details on Zashi CrossPay, Crosslink and the NSM.

We collaborated with ZKAV Club towards the release of an interview with Juan from Nillion held during Berlin Blockchain Week. Another collab is in the works and will be made available soon!

Dismad created a ZecHub DAO Governance Dashboard Spreadsheet to better communicate important engagement numbers. He open sourced the ZecHub Shielded Metrics and modified the ZecHub Shielded Newsletter script to use the new Z3 stack ( Zallet, Zainod, Zebrad).

Dismad also forked hahns zkool2 to figure out testnet support check out the video + detailed notes.
He reported progress on Namada bounty and work completed in Namada forums (This is for our validator bounty) He’s testing beta Zashi versions and has been working with Devs to help get a testnet version.

Vito has been working on post production of all tutorials including recording the Nym step by step Zcash payment demo. He posted articles on Substack, Free2Z, X, Bluesky, and Mastodon. He edited and posted Arborist Call and ZecHub event clips on X with subtitles.Towards the ShapeShift Collaboration, Vito is working towards a Community Call with both projects. He has been maintaining the Zcash Global Discord Server and has restreamed events such as Arborist Call.
