Paradigm Co-founder: Zcash Developer Fund is Vital for Long-term Growth

Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang stated that blockchain ecosystems, particularly Zcash, face long-term funding challenges for public goods. He argued that developer funds supported by inflation are essential, especially given rising AI-driven cyber threats and quantum technology advancements. Huang also noted that as Zcash gains adoption as a privacy-focused complement to Bitcoin, relying solely on token-based voting could introduce unpredictability and undermine its credibility as a monetary asset. He suggested combining token voting with other governance models. Paradigm is an investor in ZEC and ZODL.
