I’m sad to announce that @Teor is leaving the Zcash Foundation.
@Teor joined ZF in June 2020, having previously worked with the Tor Project. They quickly became a key member of the engineering team, acting as engineering lead for extended periods of time, and helping onboard and mentor new engineering hires as the organisation grew. They were a leading contributor to the successful development and launch of Zebra, and played an important role in responding to the Halborn security disclosure. They contributed to several ZIPs, regularly attended ZIP editors meetings, and formally became a ZIP editor in September 2023.
@Teor went on sabbatical in early 2024, and has now decided to explore new challenges in non-Proof of Work Web3 technologies.
While they are leaving ZF and stepping down as ZIP editor, @Teor remains a firm supporter of the Zcash mission, and will continue to support ZF as a member of our Technical Advisory Board.
On behalf of their colleagues, both with ZF and across the broader Zcash ecosystem, I want to thank @Teor for their contributions and service to the Zcash community, and wish them the very best as they embark on the next phase of their career!
