Licence

Our compilation and the fields we compute are CC BY 4.0: use them for anything, including commercially, and credit zcashupdates.com with a link. Network figures come from Blockchair; credit them too. Prices are not included: they are licensed from CoinGecko for display on our pages only.

Stability

Fields are added, not renamed or removed. If a change could break something you built, it is announced in the change log below first.

What is not included

Grant amounts, because they are not published in a structured form. For payments and fund balances, openzcash.org is the reference.
