Zcash community members are scheduled to vote from November 16 to 30, 2026 on a proposal affecting the community grants treasury, according to an Odaily report published on November 12, 2026, at 13:57 UTC+8.
The proposal would remove 50,000 ZEC—about 55% of the treasury’s approximately 91,453 ZEC. If approved and activated in a network upgrade, ZCG would have 30 days to move those tokens out of circulation. Their value would be counted toward a network sustainability mechanism reserve.
The proposal would also end ZCG’s current allocation of 8% of newly issued ZEC. That share would instead accumulate in a new future development and legal defense fund until the next halving. The fund could not initially spend its holdings; a separate proposal would be needed to establish a withdrawal mechanism.
ZCG would retain the rest of its treasury and continue awarding grants. The 12% fund controlled by token holders would remain unchanged. These changes are proposals, not measures already in effect.
