This format makes it easier to stay in the loop even if you can’t catch the live sessions or YouTube recordings because of time zones or a packed schedule.
You’ll find highlights from open proposals, collaborations, and other ongoing projects in this update, with a full recap coming in the next meeting notes.
Thanks for following along and staying connected with what’s happening around the ZecHub community!
New Features on the Dashboard
Our dashboard now has an RSS feed, making it easier to stay updated with the latest stats automatically. Bounties have also been added to the navigation bar for quicker access.
For those who use RSS readers, you can now also subscribe to the shielded supply stats, the feed updates automatically whenever we post new data.
ZECBounties: Teams Feature Coming Soon
Tron is close to releasing a teams feature for ZECBounties. This will allow global ambassador projects, including Zcash Español, Zcash Brazil, and Zcash Turkey, to create their own teams, list bounties, and process payments directly through the platform.
Community feedback has also been noted to align the ZECBounties UI with our broader brand, particularly for dark mode and color consistency.
On the development side, we are working on payment tracking with unique identifiers and task URL linking, so payments can always be traced back to their corresponding output.
Zcash India: First Ambassador Payment & IRL Event
Our Treasury was updated this week. Zcash India received their first ambassador payment, a major milestone for the global ambassador program. They are also preparing to host their first in-person event very soon.
Discord Engagement Bot in Progress
We are making progress on the Discord engagement bot, proposed by Dre.
The bot will monitor a curated list of Zcash organization accounts on X (Twitter), repost their tweets to a dedicated Discord channel, and award points to community members who consistently engage with the content.
The goal is to make it easy for the broader Zcash community to participate in amplifying Zcash-related posts. More details on the server setup are coming soon.
Content Coming: Zcomm Clips & Community Call
Expect the best moments from Zcomm to start appearing on X and YouTube over the coming days. We also released a new video on Meile dVPN, along with our recent community call with FreQnik.
March KPI Report
Our March performance report is out. Highlights include:
A significant increase in pull requests completed, partly attributed to the team leaning into AI tooling to move faster.
X impressions improved, but the best single post metric is still an area to work on, we are aware and treating it as a clear target for improvement.
We are using KPIs actively to identify exactly where efforts need to be focused.
New Tools
Two new tools are nearly ready:
Multiple recipient addresses for the Payment Request Builder
Testnet address detection in the Address Decoder — it will now flag when a testnet address has been entered
If you have ideas for additional tools you’d find useful, we’d love to hear from you.
“My First Zcash” Book: 7 Languages Underway
The translation effort for My First Zcash is gaining serious momentum. Languages currently in progress include:

Yoruba (chapters 1–3 complete)
Spanish (started)
Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic, Hausa & English
In-page design elements have been contributed by Mine. We continue to reach out to additional translators and teams to fill remaining gaps.
