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 Privacy Capsule
Declined async
Applicant proposes a client-side encrypted vault built on Zcash combining three workflows: proof-of-existence timestamping via Zcash memo anchoring, encrypted sealed capsules with client-side keys, and time-based release/deadman switch mechanisms — targeting journalists, lawyers, compliance teams, and researchers. Requesting $46,400. Artkor- The project’s goal of proving document existence at a specific time could already be achieved by hashing files publicly. Some ideas in the proposal may be useful, but I would expect them to be implemented in ZODL, as the wallet’s developers have already indicated this direction. I see no need for separate funding for this work. Zerodartz- Without having it implemented in wallets I can’t see many users starting to use this tool on its own. Hanh- The off chain storage solution has the same issues as other ones. There is no incentive to store your doc aside from storing it yourself. decentralistdan: reject, no clear use case and lack of wallet support for the implementation Declined async- The committee rejected this proposal due to a lack of a clear use case and concerns regarding the implementation.

@alexgbo Thank you kindly for the clarity, and the permissions bump. I've adjusted the numbers (removed M1 $, kept startup), and fixed some rhetoric.
