Zcash co-founder Sean Bowe proposes redirecting 8% of block subsidies to network reserve
- —8% of block rewards would move from ZCG to the NSM reserve with no spendable output
- —ZCG would halt new grants but keep paying existing milestones from its treasury
- —ZCG holds about 91,453 ZEC plus cash; Q1 2026 expenses were roughly $1.53 million
- —Miner share (80%) and Coinholder-Controlled Fund (12%) stay unchanged until the ~2028 halving
Why it matters: Fewer newly issued coins would reach the market through grants, while the change shifts funding control toward coinholders ahead of the NU7 upgrade.
