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.

Zcash MCP Server For AI Agent Integration

Declined

This proposal requests a forward grant to build a production-ready MCP server enabling AI agents to interact with Zcash — checking balances, generating addresses, constructing shielded transactions, and managing wallets — via a TypeScript MCP interface backed by a Rust wallet engine, installable via npm with no full node required. Requesting $20,000. Gguy: While AI is becoming more useful I don’t think an MCP server is the right tooling to provide AI payment solutions. Hanh: It’s doable now. The tools are there. It’s already done, there is no reason to do a grant for a product that already exists.

Comment on #300: Grant Application - Zcash MCP Server for AI Agent Integration

@enok1111 a few issues need to be addressed before I can assign this to ZCG for review. 1. Startup funding + milestones must equal total grant amount. So either remove startup funding or reduce the milestone $ by a corresponding amount. ...

Thanks for the feedback @alexgbo. I've addressed both points: 1. **Removed the $4,000 startup funding section.** The milestones now sum to the total grant amount ($8K + $6K + $6K = $20K). 2. **Forum post is live:** https://forum.zcashcom...
