if you've been in the Zcash ecosystem for a while, you'd have heard about @ZcashCommGrants (ZCG) they fund projects, review proposals, and help shape the future of the Zcash ecosystem. but how many of us actually know the people behind those decisions? this thursday, i'm sitting down with one of the newly elected ZCG committee members @paulbrigner for a conversation i've genuinely been looking forward to. we'll talk about how they got into the Zcash ecosystem, why they decided to run for the committee, the ideas they campaigned on, what they hope to achieve during their term, and the kinds of projects they'd love to see more of in the ecosystem. if you've ever been curious about how ZCG works, thought about applying for a grant, or simply want to get to know one of the people helping shape the future of Zcash, i think you'll enjoy this one. 🗓 thursday, 23 july, 2026 🕕 6:00pm UTC+1 / 1:00pm ET 📍 X Spaces set a reminder and come hang out. 👇
Quoting this because it really resonated with me. About a month ago, I entered the Zcash ecosystem without really knowing where to start. I remember listening to Dismad talk about Zebra, and that was my first glimpse into the infrastructure behind Zcash. Not long after, I decided to help LOWO with @NozyWallet. That eventually led me to running the very Zebra node Dismad had been talking about. Looking back, even the bugs we ran into ended up being part of the fun because I was learning something new every day. What has kept me here isn't just the technology, it's the people. Listening to people like @shieldedmark, @dismad8, @LadaleLowo, @zksquirrel, @vitozkp, @FortuneSznDev, @thedrekal, @theKroyX, @CQ_Elzz, @michael2xl, @am_ochuko, and everyone else at @ZecHub answer questions, share knowledge, and genuinely help newcomers has made all the difference. Every week isn't just another protocol update. It's another opportunity to learn directly from the people building the ecosystem. I've explored a few ecosystems before, but I honestly haven't experienced this level of accessibility and willingness to help newcomers anywhere else. That's a big part of why I'm still building on @Zcash. 🛡️ Lowo88⚡️🛡️ (@LadaleLowo) Good question you ask they are fun to join and learn. — https://nitter.net/LadaleLowo/status/2079972616434041243#m

Article Zcash's largest pools have a built-in latency edge. The Sovright Relay levels the playing field On proof-of-work blockchains, miners are more likely to win rewards if they learn about new blocks first. But learning about a new block first isn't free. It takes physical infrastructure, and in
