Edits and artwork created for Zcash Ecosystem Digest editions. ZecHub Sync Meetings were hosted and article for ZECpublish written and reviewed by 1337bytes. The ZKP & zkSNARKs wiki page updated.

I participated in an X space with Elzz “Why Privacy, Why Now, Why Zcash?” and a X space with Privacy Chronicles yesterday introducing them to Zcash. A podcast episode with Unstoppable Wallet is scheduled for this week!

Vito has posted articles on Substack, Free2Z, X, Bluesky, and Mastodon. He edited and posted Arborist Call Clips on X with subtitles. He has been maintaining the Zcash Global Discord Server and restreamed events such as Arborist Call. Vito sent out summaries of the ZecHub Sync meetings. He edited and posted the interview recorded at Z|ECC summit featuring Alex Shevchenko.

Thank you to @theKroy for creating Thumbnails used on the Z|ECC summit video.

Zcash Discord is requiring more attention regarding maintenance and moderation. Daira Emma’s interview edited and soon to be shared.
