Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly, calls for Zcash's development fund to continue only until its planned end in November 2028.

The Zcash community will discuss the funding model's future at Zcon7 in October 2026, with a firm 2028 deadline potentially reinforcing a clear development endpoint.
