Hi Zcash, here is the ZecHub report for June:

Major Achievements

Project Updates

This month has been eventful. Following our Research section revamp we reached out to Ankita Singh regarding possible research topics. The Zcash Foundations Series contains 7 educational articles ranging from the mathematical foundations of modern cryptography all the way to how Zcash shielded transactions work!

Look out for them over the next few weeks as X Articles!

The ZecHub Media Kit containing logos, fonts, several new isometric icons etc. was created to accompany the Visual Identity Guide created by Kroy.

Day-to-day management of the @Zcash account continues. The first original content posters performed well, we are now moving to create bounties entirely dedicated to original content for the account.

A new X account @ZECIllustrated has been created. The aim is to create minimalist graphic designs that can help new users grasp complex Zcash topics.

Vito implemented several updates to the Discord server, including improvements to the onboarding section to make the experience easier for new members.

Zcash India and East Africa Telegram communities were bridged to Discord and carried out multiple rebranding updates across older channels, including the removal of outdated roles and permissions.

The announcements channel was fully updated in line with the latest ecosystem news. Arborist Calls continued to be restreamed to Discord with written summaries published via Substack.

Core team members were invited to host & record presentations as part of workshops led by Elzz and Dre. The were edited and published to YouTube with timestamps of all topics.

We provided support to the Zcash Onboarding Events held by Global Ambassadors and support to community members, assisting with bounty tasks, with Testnet ZEC and technical queries.

We also performed a round of internal ZecHub Treasury management and have had an initial meeting with someone at Uniswap Labs to discuss scheduling a community event.
