Zcash Turns 10 as Grayscale Highlights Its 20% Developer Fund

Zcash will mark its 10th anniversary on Oct. 28 with a decade of protocol upgrades behind it. Grayscale says one reason the privacy-focused crypto network has kept evolving is its unusual decision to direct 20% of block rewards toward developer and ecosystem funding. Zcash is turning 10 with a development model that looks very different from Bitcoin’s. Grayscale highlighted the network’s built-in funding structure ahead of the anniversary, arguing that Zcash’s ability to keep shipping technical upgrades through multiple crypto cycles has been supported by protocol-level funding for research and development. Currently, miners receive 80% of ZEC block rewards, while 20% is allocated to development-related programs. That structure has given Zcash a recurring source of funding rather than leaving development entirely dependent on venture capital or private donations.
