Zcash credits 20% block reward allocation for decade of privacy upgrades and security funding.

Zcash has allocated 20% of its block rewards to fund development, supporting a decade of privacy and security upgrades as it nears its tenth anniversary. Unlike Bitcoin, where miners receive all rewards, Zcash splits 80% to miners and 20% to development, enabling continuous improvements through bear markets without relying solely on private investment. Recent upgrades include the Ironwood protocol, which introduced formal verification and quantum-recoverable notes to enhance security. The community actively funds development through grants, with millions approved for security research and future work focusing on quantum and AI threats.

As Zcash celebrates its tenth anniversary with ongoing development funded by block rewards, the cryptocurrency remains actively traded on Pluang. As of Oct 27, 2026 11:51 WIB, ZEC is priced at Rp22.070.388 with a market cap of Rp7,04 trillion. The coin has seen a positive 1-day change of 2.11%, reflecting steady interest among investors who typically hold ZEC for about 107 days on the platform.
