FPF source evidence

Milestone and disbursement ledger

Read-only milestone and disbursement fields normalized from the FPF grants ledger.

These ledger rows are FPF source evidence. They do not by themselves prove that a progress update was accepted, a payment request was approved, or an on-chain settlement was completed. Named rows can also describe reimbursements, returned funds, or other ledger adjustments.

No normalized FPF milestone or disbursement rows are linked to this application yet. The application and its other source evidence remain available below.

Quantir Privacy-Safe Risk Intelligence for Zcash Infrastructure

Declined

Quantir proposes to build an open-source, privacy-safe monitoring and alerting module for Zcash ecosystem infrastructure โ€” covering wallets, Zapps, light-client services, and bridges โ€” producing structured, explainable risk alerts from public or opt-in signals without touching shielded transaction data. Requesting $48,000. Artkor: The visible Quantir product essentially looks like a repackaged block explorer. It filters large public transactions and overlays market-based risk metrics on top of them. In the context of Zcash, this would only apply to the transparent layer and does not address the infrastructure risks described in their proposal, such as Zebra, lightwalletd, sync failures, service degradation, etc. The basic version of this kind of monitoring does not seem technically difficult enough to justify a grant. So I reject this proposal. Hanh: This proposal is extremely vague when it comes to what it means to do privacy risk intelligence and honestly it looks like AI slop. If you have seen the website and it looks like a block explorer Iโ€™m not surprised. I donโ€™t think they really have done anything specific to Zcash or to privacy coins? Zerodartz: I agree itโ€™s too generic and the scope seems too big for the budget and doesnโ€™t provide any currently practical value to Zcash.

@quantirintelligence two issues need to be fixed before I can assign this request to ZCG for review: 1. Startup + Milestones must equal total budget. So either remove startup funding or reduce milestones by the startup amount. 2. Post yo...
