Zcash proposes redirecting 8% block subsidies from grants to a reserve fund to improve network sustainability.

Zcash co-founder Sean Bowe proposed ending the 8% block subsidy currently allocated to Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) and redirecting it to the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM) reserve, where the funds would be held out of circulation. This change aims to address governance concerns about grant control and align funding with broader network sustainability goals. Existing grants will still be paid out, but no new grants will be approved, shifting more funding focus to the Coinholder-Controlled Fund. The proposal is under community review and reflects ongoing efforts to refine Zcash's funding structure ahead of the upcoming NU7 upgrade in November 2026.
