Hello Zcash Community,
We are excited to announce our application for a ZCG grant: ZecHub 2026. It has been a privilege working with the community. We hope to continue filling the critical education gaps in our growing ecosystem. We believe ZecHub is becoming a core educational organization for the community and would love the opportunity to continue our work.
Please read the full proposal here: ZecHub 2026 - HackMD
We ask the community for feedback on our plans for 2026!
wow, so much has been accomplished by the ZecHub team this year,. the ZecHub wiki page was especially instrumental for my onboarding into the Zcash ecosystem this year. i’m so excited to see the team do even more in 2026.
i would really love to contribute to the education expansion with the ZecHub team amd possibly join the DAO in the future.
Thanks to this project, many new people in different regions have learned about Zcash. It is truly important and useful, thank you for your work, friends.
you all already know my opinion 
fund these guys!
ZecHub is the first thing many people see when they first encounter the project, and it plays an important role in Zcash adoption. Thank you for the passion and effort you contribute to Zcash. I hope this proposal has a positive outcome 
The ZecHub core team is an example of motivation and excellence for the entire community, and they have made ZecHub a crucial part of Zcash.
My support goes out to you guys!
After a first look, this proposal appears very promising.
ZecHub is exactly the kind of initiative that acts as a real multiplier for adoption.
Supporting it also signals that we value proven, loyal, long-term builders who have delivered consistently for years.
It seems to pass my three non-negotiable rules:
Net shielded-spending impact: clear multiplier effect
Proven team + low risk: track record of on-time, on-budget delivery
Loyal long-term builders: passionate, reliable, deeply committed to Zcash’s success
This is the kind of quiet, high-leverage work that makes private money actually used.
I will review the details and post a fuller position later.
ZecHub is a leader in the Zcash community the education hub for Zcash.
I look forward to more amazing work from zechub in 2026.
Great work done in 2025
Looking forward to more in 2026

Hello Zcash, we’ve started the year with momentum! Progress updates below:
We started the year with our Jan 6th sync meeting welcoming everyone back from holidays. We covered the various projects & events coming up that people would be able to participate in. Thank you to the FPF team for helping us set up our bounty program.
ZEC allocated in our start up funding was given to each core team member to run all services for the year. A recurring weekly meeting has been set for the team.
The main area of focus this month has been the Zcash Visualizer. We hope this to be the most intuitive learning resource for anyone looking into Zcash. The ‘Start Here’ button on the Wiki Homepage now links to it.
@theKroy created new design templates for our Arborist Call Summary, ZecHub Sync Meeting and Zcash Shielded News publications.
A development server for our new platform was set up by Tron and Dismad. He has made progress towards the launch for ZECBounties in February. It will be the replacement for Dework with native ZEC payments! Tron has also been finding and fixing issues on the wiki site.
Dismad attended sessions in Zeboot 2026. He recorded a video tutorial on Cake Wallet features with post production handled by Vito. Planning is in-progress for a ‘State of Zcash Wallets 2026’ video.
In collaboration with Shielded Labs Dismad attended the Milestone 4C Workshop running a Finalizer and testing the wallet. For anyone that participated in Milestone 4B workshop and claimed a participants badge you can burn the NFT to claim a free Crosslink merch drop available!
