Major Achievements

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. 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!

Dismad also purchased a VPS using shielded ZEC, it will be part of voting authority for the sentiment poll

Notes:

Vito assisted Shielded Labs in hosting the Milestone 4C workshop.

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. The next Sync meeting on was held in which we covered the ZecHub Roadmap for 2026.

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 channel in Zcash Global Discord.
