About

An independent record of what is changing in Zcash.

Plain-language coverage of upgrades, supply, funding and governance, with every number linked to its source.

01

What we do

zcashupdates follows the things that change what a ZEC holder owns or can do: network upgrades, supply and issuance, the development funds (Zcash Community Grants and the coinholder fund), governance votes and wallet and node releases.

We explain each change in plain language, say when it happens and what, if anything, you need to do. Every figure links back to where it came from, so you can check it yourself.

02

Independence

zcashupdates is independent. It is not affiliated with, funded by or endorsed by the Zcash Foundation, Zcash Community Grants, or any company, wallet, exchange or project covered here.

  • No ads, no sponsored listings and no affiliate links. Nobody pays to appear on this site or to be ranked higher.
  • No paid coverage. We do not write about a project in exchange for money, tokens or favours.
  • If any of this ever changes, paid content will be labelled Sponsored where it appears and listed on this page.
03

Who runs it

zcashupdates is published pseudonymously. That is common in the Zcash community and fits a project about financial privacy. We ask to be judged on the record instead: sourced numbers, dated changes and public corrections.

04

Conflicts of interest

People who work on zcashupdates may hold ZEC. We do not trade on anything before it is published, and we do not publish price targets or tell anyone to buy or sell.

If zcashupdates is ever paid by, or receives money from, anyone it covers, we will say so here and on every page that covers them.

05

Editorial standards

  • Primary sources first: the protocol specifications (ZIPs), node source code, grant applications and official forum posts. We do not report rumours.
  • Decided, drafted or proposed: we say which. A rule in a draft specification is labelled as a draft until it ships.
  • Projections are labelled with the assumption behind them, for example a projected upgrade date that depends on block times.
  • No predictions about price.

How each number is produced is set out on the Methodology page.

06

Corrections

If something here is wrong, write to hello@zcashupdates.com with the page and what you think is wrong. We fix factual errors as fast as we can, and every correction that changes a number or a conclusion is listed below with its date.

Corrections so far: none.

07

Protect yourself from impersonators

Sites and accounts that cover crypto are copied by scammers. zcashupdates will never:

  • message you first, on any platform;
  • ask for your seed phrase, private keys or wallet passwords;
  • ask you to send ZEC to “verify”, “unlock” or “double” anything;
  • run giveaways or promote investment schemes.

Anyone doing these things in our name is not us. The only official address of this site is zcashupdates.com.
