A proposal reported on November 12, 2026, would change how part of Zcash’s community grant treasury is held and how future development funding accumulates. According to PANews, citing CoinDesk, the Zcash community was scheduled to vote on it from November 16 to 30. The report does not establish the vote’s outcome.
The proposal would remove 50,000 ZEC from the community grant treasury—about 55% of its reported 91,453 ZEC balance—and return the value through future mining rewards. If approved and activated in a network upgrade, ZCG would have 30 days to take those coins out of circulation. Their value would be counted in a network sustainability reserve.
The plan would also end ZCG’s current 8% share of newly issued ZEC. That share would instead accumulate in a new fund for future development and legal defense until the next halving. Initially, no one could spend from the fund; a separate proposal would have to define how withdrawals work.
ZCG would retain the rest of its treasury and continue awarding grants. The separate 12% fund controlled by token holders would remain unchanged.
