Most people who hold @Zcash have never used its privacy.
Here's how to go from zero to your first shielded transaction. Four parts: wallet, ZEC, shielding, sending. 🧵 @zksnarks_
Quick basics before we start.
Zcash has two address types:
(Transparent) : public, like Bitcoin. Anyone can see it.
(Shielded) : private. Sender, receiver, and amount stay hidden.

It'd be a mistake to kill only one part of the dev fund.
If dissolved, then no half measures, dissolve it all, both the ZCG and coinholder streams. The coinholder stream accrues ~216 ZEC a day until the halving. Same problem.
Part of the reason for ZCG funding until the current ZIP was a governance balance. Part of it was to provide speculative funding for ideas that needed incubation.
Coinholder grants were a bridge away from direct funding when funding was scarce. It served its purpose.
If dev funding is no longer needed, a better market signal is the retirement of the entire fund. A half measure leaves the door open to ongoing debate and politics. Markets like certainty.
Redirect both streams to the NSM through the halving, as Sean's draft does for ZCG. ZCG honors every approved grant, then sends the rest to the NSM.
One proposed exception is a one-time endowment for a legal defense fund for Zcash developers, decided by coinholders.
Note: ZODL recently received a retroactive coin holder grant (non ZCG) for core protocol work and will apply for future grants if the fund still exists. My argument for a full, rather than partial retirement would eliminate that potential source of funding.
Discussion thread on the forum: forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/e…
It's time to turn off the ZCG funding stream.
ZCG has over $125M in funding, and will receive millions more before the spigot is turned off. The program was never designed to handle this amount of funding.

One project I’m genuinely bullish on is @IThinkItsArt
What caught my attention is the vision of bringing art, creativity, and community together through the ITIA Genesis Collection, with 1,111 NFTs planned on Ethereum.
I like projects that focus on more than just launching NFTs and put real thought into the creative vision and community behind them.
I’m keeping a close eye on this one and hoping to secure my spot in the Genesis Collection before it fills up.
Definitely one I’ll be watching closely.
I came across @IThinkItsArt , and something about this project made me stop and take a closer look.
I love the idea of bringing art, creativity, and community together. The ITIA Genesis Collection, with 1,111 NFTs planned on Ethereum, is definitely something worth keeping an eye on.
What caught my attention most is the vision behind the project and the community growing around it.
I'm looking forward to seeing how everything unfolds, and hopefully, I get the chance to be part of the Genesis Collection too.
Sometimes, the best opportunities start with simply paying attention.
Congratulations to all the winners 🏆 of @hypestgg

This time last week Friday, I was on stage at @blockfestafrica talking about AI, blockchain, and building trust in this new age of intelligence.
I spend a lot of time building with AI, and it keeps showing me how much more is possible. But many people still don’t know where to start or what they can trust.
Those of us figuring it out have a duty to bring more Africans along: show what works, be honest about what doesn’t, and help people use these tools to build something of their own.
We have too much talent here to leave people out of the next digital economy.
People who feel rich before they’re rich tend to actually get rich.
Not because of delusion—but because mindset shapes behavior.
They think long-term.
They invest before it’s comfortable.
They act like stewards, not spenders.
Wealth starts as a mentality long before it shows up as money.
Building With the NEAR Ecosystem
I've been paying closer attention to what’s happening in the $NEAR ecosystem, and one thing that stands out is the direction it's taking.
From AI agents and cross-chain transactions to privacy-focused infrastructure, NEAR is exploring how to make Web3 more accessible and useful for the next generation of users.
But beyond the technology, I believe ecosystems grow stronger when the right people come together to build, contribute, and create real value.
I'm interested in connecting with teams building on NEAR, exploring new ideas, or looking for people who genuinely want to contribute to their growth.
If you're building something on $NEAR and believe in the long-term vision of the ecosystem, I'm open to connecting and exploring how we can build together.
The future of @NEARProtocol won't be shaped by technology alone, but also by the people building around it. 🤝
Most people are still looking at $NEAR through the lens of a Layer 1.
They're missing the bigger picture.
NEAR is building toward a future where AI agents can transact across chains while protecting sensitive information.
Let's break it down.
$NEAR is becoming more than a blockchain narrative.
Cross-chain transactions, AI agents, privacy infrastructure, and token economics are all part of the bigger picture.
Here's why I'm paying attention to what NEAR is building.
Imagine telling an AI agent what you want to accomplish and letting it handle the complicated blockchain operations for you.
That's the kind of future NEAR is working toward.
And it goes beyond simple token swaps.
Here's the breakdown.
@NEARProtocol isn't just about transactions anymore.
It's about making cross-chain crypto simpler and building infrastructure for AI agents.
The bigger vision deserves attention.
Here's what you need to know.
I'm looking at $NEAR differently.
Between NEAR Intents, NEAR AI, and the work around secure AI agents, there's a bigger story developing beyond the usual Layer 1 conversation.
Let's talk about it.
Over 17 NFTs in one wallet, and the total value is just $1.50. 💀
What exactly are these NFTs cooking? Because this valuation is something else.
The collection is growing, but the floor value is fighting for its life. 😂

Been seeing a lot of conversations around $NEAR lately, so I decided to take a closer look at what’s happening in the ecosystem.
I’ll be sharing my findings in a thread soon. Stay locked in.

I keep seeing everyone posting about $NEAR lately 👀
What's the latest update? Why is everyone talking about NEAR, and what’s making people move toward the ecosystem?
Feels like something interesting is happening. Someone catch me up.
