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.

Growing the Turkish Zcash Community

Declined

Applicant proposes a Turkish-language Zcash educational content campaign leveraging an existing 220,000+ member crypto community across YouTube, X, and Telegram — delivering 7 produced YouTube videos, 20 educational X threads, quizzes with small ZEC reward campaigns, and community engagement directing users toward the existing Zcash Türkiye community. Requesting $13,500. Artkor: I appreciate the interest in growing the Turkish Zcash community. At the same time, there is already a funded Zcash Turkey initiative with similar regional and educational goals. Our standard view is that the best path forward is closer coordination with the existing team, rather than creating a separate parallel effort. For that reason, my vote is to decline. Zerodartz: I would prefer to see some collaboration first with the Zcash Turkey team. I also think they are too new to Zcash right now. I If they start slowly contributing, we would in the future have more data on which to decide if we would want to fund them. Hanh: We are funding a team pretty seriously in the same region and we’d like to see them complete their plan. If there is room for a second team, why not, but at this point there will be two stores on the same block basically and we don’t want to cannibalize the investment that we put in the first team but again maybe in the future there’s room for two teams. So it’s a no for me for now.

@CryptoEpoch before I can assign this to ZCG for review you need to fix the following: startup + milestones must equal total grant amount. So either drop the startup funding or reduce the milestone payments accordingly.
