Hello Zcash Community,

We are excited to announce our [application for a ZCG grant: ZecHub 2026](https://github.com/ZcashCommunityGrants/zcashcommunitygrants/issues/153). It has been a privilege [working with the community](https://github.com/ZecHub/zechub-wiki/graphs/contributors?from=11%2F23%2F2024). 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](https://hackmd.io/@zechubteam/rkf8Ys-6eg)  
We ask the community for feedback on our plans for 2026!

</div>

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:

1. Net shielded-spending impact: clear multiplier effect

2. Proven team + low risk: track record of on-time, on-budget delivery

3. 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.

## Project Updates

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](https://zechub.wiki/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!](https://manifold.xyz/@zechub/id/4078702832) If you partcipated in Milestone 4C, please complete the survey [here](https://blocksurvey.io/crosslink-workshop-4c-survey-nlAeB1nOTe66xZL.aZ8n_g?v=o).

Dismad also purchased a [VPS using shielded ZEC,](https://x.com/dismad8/status/2013373171999875422?s=20) it will be part of voting authority for the sentiment poll

> I’m opening the registration period for ZEC holders to participate in an [upcoming poll](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/nu7-sentiment-polling-and-zip-submission-window/53766) to gauge sentiment on protocol features that are finished or expected to be completed within the next year, including Zcash Shielded Assets (ZSAs), the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM), Tachyon, Dynamic Fees, and other proposals. Coinholders will need to move their ZEC into the Orchard pool or refresh their notes during the registration window, which runs from Block 2,978,050 (July 1, 2025) through Monda…

**New Projects**

- [Unified Address Visualizer](https://github.com/dismad/unifiedAddressVisualizer)

**Notes:**

- [If you use docker, consider how it bypasses firewalls!](https://x.com/dismad8/status/2013445081735320039?s=20)

Vito assisted Shielded Labs in hosting the Milestone 4C workshop. He completed post production on the Meile dVPN x Sentinel Community Call, created shorts for the Arborist Call and Z|ECC summit interview with Kris Nuttycombe. The Z|ECC Summit interview with Kit Stugeon is close to completing post production.

Omega Wolf has been brought on for a 3 week period to start our TikTok/IG channels. Her videos have been hugely successful so far. Follow and share!

A gantt chart for core team member tasks for the next 3 months was made. We held a sync meeting where we went over the [ZecHub Treasury Report for Q4 2025](https://github.com/ZecHub/zechub/blob/main/ZecHub%20Treasury%20Report%20Q4%20'25.pdf). The next Sync meeting on was held in which we covered the [ZecHub Roadmap for 2026](https://github.com/ZecHub/zechub/blob/main/ZecHub%202026%20Roadmap.pdf).

The first My First Zcash v2 meeting was an opportunity to introduce the workbook created by Elise and the Community. New contributors were invited to sign up and select the areas they would like to work on ranging from writing in updates & proof reading, graphic design etc.

The second meeting was held on Jan 26th.Teams and roles were given to contributors with a timeline for next steps. Looking forward to bring this all together! Meetings are held every Monday 17:00 UTC. Check out what’s happening in the [#mfz](https://discord.com/channels/978714252934258779/1204933529587159120) channel in [Zcash Global Discord](https://discord.gg/zcash).

FROST threshold signatures are now used by ZecHub core team to securely distribute spend authority of funds.

January went quick as we onboarded our newest team members and set our plans in motion. We are already seeing the extra hands help with productivity, especially in our dev work. Our best performance this month came on the Github side. Love seeing all the contributors!!! For example our ZecHub-wiki PR’s improved by 235%. We showed negative performance on Twitter coming off the ATH we saw in December. I had the privilage to attend Zeboot 2026 and meet folks form around the world. Long story short, if you are developing on anything in the Zcash ecosystem, and you can find time to attend, do it. 🏂

The amount of diverse, smart, and fully commited folks at the event was just awesome. Here are some pictures from around the area that I think captured the mag…

## Project Updates

In February the core team participated in a few community events. Squirrel virtually joined an IRL meetup hosted by Dre to cover the ZecHub Bounty Program. The [Zcash Contributors Workshop](https://x.com/CQ_Elzz/status/2023745944202645800) organised and hosted by @elzz-ux had a presentation on Day 1 & 2 with Squirrel and Dismad & Tripleyouwu joining Day 3. Thank you to @Iogy & ZKAV Club for the assist restreaming across the 3 days!

We were very happy to be invited onto the [Zcast podcast](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGdkV3b0KwM), it was an awesome discussion centered on ZecHub & Zcash - thank you Roosevelt.

This month we also held a Valentines Day Encrypted Memos campaign with community members sharing messages for Zcash.

Squirrel completed the [ZecHub Store](https://zechub.store) redesign. Check it out and give feedback!

There is now a ZIPs & Grants page on the wiki

An article on the [Zcash Visualizer](https://x.com/ZecHub/status/2027048680423866535) article was recently shared. The new learning tool will help new users build a complete understanding of Zcash by using step-by-step bite size slides in gradually more technical modules with Quiz questions at the end of each section.

Vito kept community informed via the annoucement channel in the Global Discord with updates and cleanup to the channels. Vito made contact with head of marketing at Shapeshift towards future community calls. He created shorts for the shielded labs workshop. Post production on Z|ECC Summit interviews for Str4d & Antoine as well as creating shorts for them. He Created ZSN editions & Arborist Call Summaries and restreamed Arborist Calls to the server & created meeting notes for ZecHub Sync Meetings.

Kroy created thumbnails for our video releases and has begun work replacing icons throughout the wiki & formalising ZecHub’s Brand/Visual Identity. Tron worked on adding the [DAO proposals dashboard](https://zechub.wiki/proposals) to the wiki with the help of Dismad

The ZEC Bounties platform is now accessible on [https://bounties.zechub.wiki](https://bounties.zechub.wiki). We are still in testing with rollout to the community to take place over the coming few weeks.
