Nym: Network Privacy For Zcash
ZCG voted to approve the newly revised grant proposal for $150,000.
- Jason outlined this grant. This is a revised grant from Nym. The budget has been revised down from $670,000 to $150,000. The proposal focuses on integrating their mixnet technology with Zcash’s lightwalletd to provide network-level privacy and protect users from network surveillance. They estimate a 10-to-12 month timeline, and the integration targets lightwalletd initially, which would lay the groundwork for future integrations to full nodes and broader wallet support. Zingo and possibly Zashi are interested in future integrations. Jason said this grant was discussed at their brainstorm meeting, and came to a split decision. The committee went around to place their votes and rationale for this proposal. Gguy emphasized that this grant demonstrated how ZCG could advance the privacy feature set, which is a priority, and voted to approve it despite the tight budget. Amber, initially undecided, ultimately supported the proposal and voted to approve it. Jason agreed with Gguy that this grant advances privacy, and said that Zcash having network-level privacy is very important. He also said there is potential for future integrations with nodes and wallets. He emphasized the high quality of the Nym team, their experience working in privacy and security, and the potential for a strong partnership with the Zcash ecosystem. Michael said he had doubts about the grant resulting in a usable solution in ZEC wallets, but ultimately, because the ask is small and could be important for privacy, he thinks it’s worth supporting. So, he voted to approve it. Brian dissented, citing several concerns. He emphasized the absence of updated milestones on Submittable and suggested it was premature to vote on the grant. Brian expressed disinterest in funding the proposal due to current ZEC prices, despite alignment with Nym team values. He urged ZCG to prioritize the treasury. Additionally, he questioned ECC’s commitment to integrating Nym post-Zeboot. Brian also highlighted the cost implications for the community regarding Nym Network usage, noting the absence of subsidy in the revised proposal. Overall, he liked the proposal and agreed that network privacy is important but did not feel it was the right time and would prefer to wait a few months. Jason responded to Brian’s concerns regarding the treasury, acknowledging shared thoughts on budgetary matters. He noted the availability of almost 100,000 ZEC and an additional USD balance of around $225,000 following the cancellation of underperforming grants and said ZCG could fund this proposal from the cancellations alone. Jason also said that reducing the proposal amount from $670,000 to $150,000 was a conservative move by ZCG. ZCG voted to approve this revised grant proposal contingent on Nym making the appropriate changes on the Submittable platform and flushing out the milestone details. Deidra M will notify Nym of the contingency in the approval notification on the forum and Submittable.

Nym: Network Privacy For Zcash
Decision text was not parsed from the minutes.
- This grant is from Nym, who is applying together with the NightHawk and Zingo teams (as passthrough grants) to integrate the Nym mixnet into Zcash wallets to provide Zcash network-level privacy. The current ask is for $670,000. ZCG has been in touch with Harry and the Nym team are willing to make concessions to get the cost down to something more reasonable. The committee had a call with the Nym team on Jan.12 and a follow-up discussion via Signal last week, and they explained to them that ZCG liked the idea of mobile wallets having network-level privacy. However, because of the budget, the committee needs to get the cost of the grant down. The Nym team will reduce the grant’s scope to approximately $100,000 and focus on a lightwalletd and possible Zashi integration. The committee asked them to edit the grant to scope it down and revise the budget, post the revised grant to the Discord R&D to get feedback from the core engineering teams, and then repost the revised proposal and budget to the forum. Once that is complete, ZCG will proceed with the regular review process.
