A Zcash community proposal would move 50,000 ZEC out of the community grants treasury—about 55% of its roughly 91,453 ZEC balance. According to Odaily’s November 12, 2026 report, voting was scheduled for November 16–30.
If approved and activated in a network upgrade, ZCG would have 30 days to remove the 50,000 ZEC from circulation, with its value counted toward a network sustainability reserve. The proposal would also redirect the 8% share of newly issued ZEC currently received by ZCG into a future development and legal defense fund until the next halving. That fund could not initially be spent; withdrawals would require a separate proposal setting out the mechanism.
ZCG would retain the rest of its treasury and continue awarding grants. The token-holder-controlled 12% fund would remain unchanged.
