Zcash community members are debating four proposals to reduce or end development-fund allocations, according to a Bankless discussion summarized by BlockBeats on October 28. The proposals remain under discussion.
Debate over accumulated funding
Bankless cited estimated net funds of roughly $125 million, above current spending needs. Sean Bowe of Tachyon has proposed ending the 8% block-reward allocation to ZCG in a future network upgrade.
Supporters of reductions question continued accumulation and holders’ control over the funds. Opponents are concerned that cuts without replacement funding could impair protocol development and maintenance.
