Nesthub for Zcash Developers

Declined

Nesthub—Ibadan’s leading free, in-person blockchain developer community—will run three month-long Buildcamps plus Zcash-focused meetups and mini-hackathons in January–March 2026 to train developers in blockchain fundamentals and practical privacy tech. Founded in 2024 and backed previously by ICP and Stellar, Nesthub has strong university partnerships and consistently engages ~30 developers per cohort. With ZCG support, the program will expand hands-on training, mentorship and community events that introduce Zcash tools, raise awareness of privacy-preserving development, and help emerging Nigerian builders create competitive, real-world blockchain solutions. Applicant is requesting $9,600. Artkor: Zcash has its own specific characteristics and I don’t believe that developer hubs of this type represent an effective growth format for the ecosystem. Zerodartz: Something like this could work but the project has small budget for the three months of events which seems unrealistic to be feasible and impactful. More proof of past event organizing from them could help in the future.
