Funding for Protocol Development & Ecosystem Support

Funding is available for teams working to improve Zcash, and further financial privacy on the Zcash network and beyond. There are currently two funding gateways within the Zcash ecosytem: open grants and invite-only grants.

1. Zcash Community Grants

This program funds independent teams to perform major ongoing development (or other work) that benefits the Zcash ecosystem. Grants are chosen by a five-person committee elected by the Zcash community. Teams and organizations that are interested in advancing the usability, security, privacy and adoption of Zcash are strongly encouraged to apply for a Zcash Community Grant.

2. Zcash Minor Grants

The Zcash Foundation’s Minor Grants program funds smaller grants that contribute to the Foundation’s goal of financial privacy.

Follow @ZcashFoundation on Twitter to learn when the next round of applications for Minor Grants is opened.
