Zcash holders approve $8.39M in retroactive grants, including $1.5M for critical security bug discovery.

Zcash coinholders approved $8.39 million in retroactive grants for completed work this quarter, funding 17 of 37 proposals. Among the largest grants was $1.5 million awarded to Taylor Hornby for discovering a critical vulnerability in the Orchard shielded pool, which could have allowed counterfeit ZEC creation. The grants mainly supported security research, audits, and protocol development following a major security crisis earlier this year. Participation in the vote rose sharply to 2.18 million ZEC, about 10.4% of the total supply, demonstrating active coinholder governance. Zcash price currently consolidates near $1,407 after a September rally, with some whale activity noted in recent withdrawals from exchanges.
