This proposal outlines Qedit’s efforts to integrate Zcash Shielded Assets (ZSAs) into the NU7 upgrade with a focus on coordination across teams and repositories. Qedit plans to allocate a team of seven engineers to implement the requirements, review components, and maintain tools. The monthly budget is up to $105,000 per month. The integration will involve close collaboration with ECC and ZF to ensure smooth development and to address technical challenges. The goal was to have ZSAs included in NU7 by the summer of 2025. But, in his forum update yesterday , Josh mentioned NU7 getting pushed back to October; it sounds like there’s more information forthcoming on that. Qedit was asked how this would affect the grant proposal and more conversation is required. ZCG decided to move forward with discussing and voting on this grant as-is with consideration given to any changes that arise due to NU7 timing. Gguy was first asked to summarize feedback from ZF and ECC engineers and then the committee will go around and provide feedback and vote. Gguy: ZCG received feedback from ZF and ECC. While we all pondered if 7 engineers are necessary, which contributes to the maximum monthly cost feeling high, the overall feedback was positive. Personally speaking, 7 engineers isn’t beyond reasonable for this work and I believe merging this work into Zebra is a high priority to minimise the overheads of maintaining a fork. I think having a larger team to pull from will be beneficial and hopefully speed up this work. I approve the current grant in its current form with possible expectations that they may need to provide ongoing support post July. Brian: I approve. I want to see ZSAs deployed and delivered, and we’ve spent a lot of money on this functionality so far. I think it’s important for the community to stay aware that any delays essentially causes the community to spend more on continuing to try to maintain and support this feature before it actually gets deployed. So I hope that NU7 comes quickly and that ZSAs are deployed and ready for Zcash users. Jason: ZSAs was the first grant I voted on when Brian and I joined the committee in January 2022. It’s probably the grant that I’ve been most excited about because I think the additional added functionality in the Zcash protocol will be something that expands Zcash’s use case and increases user adoption as well. In terms of this specific grant, I think it’s necessary. We need ZSAs to be integrated into the protocol and the other grants didn’t cover that work. The one thing that I’m curious about is whether or not this should be ongoing work or if there’s just a fixed amount of things that they have to do in order to integrate it into the protocol. We’ll have that conversation with Qedit on a future Arborist call. I approve this grant. Zerodartz: I mostly agree with everyone, but my personal opinion is it seems a bit expensive, and all the ZSA stuff has been really expensive. But we can’t let this huge amount of work stop before the finish line. We should get it all shipped and launched. I approve this grant. Artkor: Yes, this grant has been a priority for years and I approve. Gguy: Additional comment; I’d like to add the record that this type of work is really important to the decentralization of the Zcash protocol and engineering teams. Qedit is probably one of the most qualified teams outside of the core teams that work on Zcash… So I think that in itself is a huge benefit. Unanimous approval for this grant.
