1. Executive summary and decision snapshot

The ZECsy Team requests $30,000 for a week-long grassroots Zcash outreach effort during Cypherpunk Week Amsterdam, August 31–September 6, 2026. The proposed work combines two to three Zcash Privacy Tour walking events, field onboarding at several privacy/Web3 events, a CipherPay transaction demonstration, starter-ZEC incentives, and training one onboarding apprentice. [1][4]

The stated delivery team is led by ReadyMouse, with technical educator Violet/fabacab, events lead Kate Stapleton, and an apprentice. [1]

The proposal supplies activity and output targets—30+ Zodl downloads, 150+ conversations, at least two tours, documented onboarding/transactions, daily social reporting, one trained apprentice, and a trip report within one week—but does not provide a milestone-payment schedule, line-item budget, or defined acceptance criteria for the proposed metrics. [4]

Decision snapshot: The request is a relatively small, time-bound community activation targeted at an audience the applicant describes as privacy- and cryptography-aligned. The principal evaluation issue is value-for-money and verifiability: the submission identifies engagement targets but does not demonstrate how the $30,000 is allocated or how lasting outcomes beyond event interactions will be measured. Inference: conditional funding tied to a clarified budget and independently reviewable outcome evidence would reduce the largest current uncertainties.

2. Applicant and team track record

The application states that the team has delivered prior ZCG-funded and community-funded activations at DevConnect Buenos Aires, ETHBoulder/ETHDenver, ETHCC Cannes, and Berlin Blockchain Week. It also states that ReadyMouse led outreach at several of those events and coordinated the Berlin Blockchain Week Privacy Späti activation. [1]

Violet/fabacab is presented as a privacy educator who has facilitated six workshops for more than 100 participants from at-risk communities. Kate Stapleton is presented as an experienced Web3 events and community leader with prior roles at Fhenix, Inco, and Axelar. [1]

These claims indicate relevant event-production and onboarding experience, but the supplied evidence does not document prior grant budgets, completed deliverables, wallet-retention outcomes, or independently validated results for the team’s earlier activations. No grounded evidence found for prior ZECsy grant performance metrics or audited impact.

3. Proposal scope, milestones, budget, technical approach, and dependencies

The core activity is two to three evening walking tours through Amsterdam’s privacy history, ending with community networking and hands-on Zodl onboarding. Participants would receive starter ZEC and tip tour guides in ZEC, intended to demonstrate shielded transactions. A portable CipherPay demonstration on an iPad is proposed at tour conclusions. [4]

A four-person team would also conduct in-person outreach at Solana Startup Village, Web3Privacy, DashCon, and Common S3nse. The applicant states that Zcash is a confirmed Common S3nse partner and that no Zcash side events are planned, positioning the tours as complementary activity. [4][5]

The proposal’s stated targets are 30+ wallet downloads, 150+ conversations, two or more tours, onboarding and transaction activity, one apprentice trained, daily social documentation, and a forum trip report. [4]

Funding structure: $30,000 is requested. [1] No grounded evidence found for a line-item budget, payment tranches, formal milestones, expected attendance per tour, cost per anticipated onboarding, or contingency plans.

Key dependencies include access to the named events, reliable delivery of starter-ZEC and wallet onboarding, participant willingness to download Zodl, tour-guide arrangements, and suitable venues for post-tour demonstrations. Inference: these dependencies are operationally manageable only if responsibilities, permissions, and fallback plans are confirmed before the event.

4. Community discussion, arguments, responses, and resolution

Arguments supporting the request: The applicant argues that Cypherpunk Week offers a concentrated privacy-oriented audience and that in-person engagement can turn event sponsorship visibility into wallet onboarding, leads, and follow-up. The Privacy Tour is intended to create a differentiated, intimate format rather than solely staffing booths. [4]

Arguments against or unresolved: No supplied community discussion presents a substantive challenge to the proposal’s cost, targets, methodology, or claimed prior performance. However, the application itself leaves major decision-relevant elements unspecified: budget allocation, payment milestones, measurement definitions, and evidence of sustained adoption after the event. [4]

Applicant responses or clarifications: The applicant clarifies that the tours are intended to complement, not duplicate, the official Zcash-related program, and commits to a post-event report with metrics, photos, and engagement data. [4]

Resolution: The committee recorded the request as remaining open, without documented rationale or conditions. [5] No grounded evidence found that the missing budget, milestone, or impact-measurement issues have been resolved.

5. Relevant precedents and documented outcomes

ZecHub 2026 — approved, $419,361. This is relevant as a broad ecosystem education, contributor-onboarding, event, and communication program. Committee members characterized ZecHub as a visible and valuable ecosystem contributor with a multi-year record of education and community activity. [8] The record indicates that six milestones were marked complete, but milestone-status labels alone do not establish impact; no grounded evidence found here for outcome metrics tied to those milestones. [8]

Growing the Turkish Zcash Community — declined, $13,500. This is relevant because it proposed regional educational outreach and user engagement. It was declined primarily because ZCG was already funding a similar regional initiative and preferred coordination over parallel activity; committee members also wanted more evidence of Zcash involvement and contribution before support. [7] For Amsterdam, the analogous consideration is whether the proposed activation is coordinated with existing Zcash event, outreach, and sponsorship efforts, rather than duplicative.

Loofta Pay — declined, $5,000. This is relevant to the proposal’s transaction-onboarding component. The committee found that the proposed product could not fully deliver its shielded-payment goal under the described routing limitations and questioned whether a simple integration merited funding. [10] The applicable lesson is that transaction demonstrations should be assessed against what is technically and practically deliverable, not merely the appeal of the user-facing concept.

6. Material risks and execution considerations

  • Budget accountability risk: Without a cost breakdown, evaluators cannot assess whether staffing, travel, incentives, venue costs, materials, and contingency reserves are proportionate to the requested amount. [1][4]
  • Outcome-quality risk: Wallet downloads and conversations are activity metrics, not evidence of retained users, repeat shielded transactions, or meaningful community growth. [4]
  • Measurement risk: The proposal promises documentation and social posts, including user selfies and unified addresses. This may produce visibility but does not establish a privacy-preserving or independently verifiable measurement method. [4]
  • Event-dependency risk: The proposal relies on a specific event week and on-site access across several independently organized events. [4]
  • Scope concentration risk: Inference: a four-person team, multiple events, tours, onboarding, demonstrations, content capture, and apprenticeship may dilute attention unless responsibilities and daily priorities are explicitly assigned.

7. Material gaps and questions for the applicant

  1. Provide a line-item $30,000 budget, including travel, lodging, staffing, starter ZEC, venues, materials, production, and contingency.
  2. Define payment milestones, deliverables, acceptance evidence, and the amount associated with each milestone.
  3. Specify which prior ZECsy activations were ZCG-funded and provide comparable results: cost, attendance, wallet downloads, completed onboarding, follow-up, and evidence of repeat use.
  4. Explain how “documented conversations,” “onboarding completions,” and “ZEC transactions” will be counted, protected from duplication, and reported without unnecessarily exposing participant information.
  5. Confirm access, permissions, and named contacts for the proposed event activations, tours, and post-tour venues.
  6. State the expected attendance range and cost-per-target logic for each tour and for the overall activation.
  7. Describe the post-event follow-up plan and the metric that would distinguish a new wallet installation from a retained Zcash user.

8. Neutral decision considerations

Factors supporting consideration include a clear event window, a defined outreach audience, a team presented as experienced in community events and privacy education, and measurable near-term activity targets. [1][4]

Factors warranting further scrutiny are the absence of a budget, milestone structure, substantiated prior results, and retention-oriented success measures. [1][4]

Inference: The central decision is not whether outreach can occur, but whether the proposed evidence plan can show that $30,000 produces durable Zcash ecosystem value rather than short-lived event engagement. A committee discussion could focus on funding conditions that convert the current targets into auditable deliverables.

SharedSucceeded

1. Executive summary and decision snapshot

The ZECsy Team requests $30,000 for a week-long grassroots marketing presence at Cypherpunk Week Amsterdam, scheduled for 31 August–6 September 2026. The planned centerpiece is two to three guided evening walking tours through Amsterdam’s privacy history, followed by bar-based Zodl onboarding using starter ZEC and a “tip-the-guide” mechanism. The proposal also describes activation at Common S3nse, Web3Privacy meetups, DashCon, and Solana Startup Village. [1][4]

The named applicant is inconsistent across records: the application identifies The ZECsy Team, while the associated registry entry identifies ReadyMouse. This is a material team-identity ambiguity that should be resolved before any agreement or payment. [1][3]

Decision snapshot

  • Request: $30,000. [1]
  • Delivery window: Cypherpunk Week Amsterdam, 31 August–6 September 2026. [4]
  • Core value proposition: in-person privacy-history education and practical Zodl onboarding in a concentrated privacy-technology event setting. [4]
  • Strongest positive evidence: Common S3nse is described as a confirmed Zcash partner. [4]
  • Primary limitation: supplied evidence does not document a line-item budget, payment schedule, measurable targets, milestone acceptance criteria, or prior delivery results by this applicant. [1][4]
  • Current status: remains open / under review, not approved. [1][4]

2. Applicant and team track record

The application identifies the delivery organization as “The ZECsy Team”; the linked forum post says the initiative continues a grassroots marketing playbook the team has run since Buenos Aires. [1][6]

However, the supplied evidence does not identify individual team members, roles, relevant event-production experience, legal entity, prior grant history, or independently documented outcomes from the Buenos Aires activity. No grounded evidence found for those capability claims.

The most relevant capability signal is therefore limited: the team publicly presents this as a continuation rather than a first-time format. Inference: repeat use of a playbook may reduce planning uncertainty, but without documented attendance, onboarding, cost, or conversion data, it does not establish delivery capability or cost-effectiveness. [6]

3. Proposal scope, milestones, budget, technical approach, and dependencies

Documented scope

  • Run two to three guided evening walking tours focused on Amsterdam’s privacy history. [4]
  • Conclude tours at bars for Zodl onboarding, starter-ZEC distribution, and tip-the-guide mechanics. [4]
  • Conduct brand activation at Common S3nse, Web3Privacy meetups, DashCon, and Solana Startup Village. [4]
  • Operate during Cypherpunk Week Amsterdam, 31 August–6 September 2026. [4]

Budget and milestones

  • Total request: $30,000. [1]
  • No grounded evidence found for allocation among staffing, travel, venues, tour operations, marketing materials, starter ZEC, partner fees, contingency, or post-event reporting.
  • No grounded evidence found for milestone dates, payment tranches, deliverables, measurable performance targets, or acceptance criteria.

Dependencies

  • The proposal’s event-based scope depends on the scheduled event and participation opportunities at named gatherings. Common S3nse is described as a confirmed Zcash partner; confirmation status for the other named activations is not documented in the supplied evidence. [4]
  • The onboarding model depends on Zodl and on safe, compliant execution of starter-ZEC distribution. No grounded evidence found for operational ownership, wallet-support procedures, participant safeguards, or handling rules for distributed funds.

4. Community and committee signals

The proposal has a forum post but, at the evidence snapshot, it had one post and no replies. This provides evidence of public posting but not of substantive community feedback or support. [6]

At the 6 July 2026 committee meeting, the proposal remained open. The minutes summarize its scope and request but record no committee rationale, concerns, vote, or conditions specific to this proposal. [4]

No grounded evidence found for endorsements from event organizers, ecosystem organizations other than the stated Common S3nse partnership, prospective attendees, or Zodl representatives.

5. Relevant precedents and documented outcomes

ZecHub: Open Source Education (approved): This is relevant because it funded Zcash-oriented education and onboarding materials. The committee described expected deliverables including a Zcash wiki, newsletter, educational materials, wallet tutorials, user guides, and onboarding documentation; it subsequently approved the proposal. [21] Later records show paid milestone amounts for milestones 2–5 and a completed status, although status and payment records alone do not document the impact of those deliverables. [22][23][24][25]
Relevance to this request: it supports precedent for education/onboarding funding, but its documented deliverables were durable public resources rather than a short event activation.

ZKPay Campus (declined): This is relevant because it proposed real-world Zcash payment onboarding and a usage pilot. It was declined because the committee found the offline-payment premise technically unconvincing and said the proposal’s assertions and design support were insufficient. [33]
Relevance to this request: while ZECsy does not propose novel payment infrastructure, the precedent highlights the committee’s emphasis on substantiated claims and credible implementation details for user-facing onboarding initiatives.

6. Material risks and execution considerations

  • Value-for-money cannot be assessed: The request is sizeable for a one-week activation, yet no budget decomposition or outcome targets are documented. This prevents comparison of expected cost per attendee, onboarded user, or sustained user. [1][4]
  • Measurement risk: The proposal describes activities, not verifiable results. No grounded evidence found for targets or reporting plans covering attendance, completed onboarding, wallet retention, shielded-use activity, partner engagement, or follow-up conversion. [4]
  • Dependency risk: Delivery appears partly contingent on access to several external events, but only one partnership is documented as confirmed. [4]
  • Operational risk around starter ZEC: Distribution may be central to onboarding, but safeguards, amount limits, custody, reconciliation, participant eligibility, and post-distribution support are not documented. [4]
  • Applicant-accountability risk: The difference between “The ZECsy Team” and “ReadyMouse” leaves unclear who is contractually responsible and who will deliver the work. [1][3]

7. Material gaps and questions for the applicant

  1. Who are the accountable legal/contracting applicant and individual delivery leads, and how does ReadyMouse relate to The ZECsy Team? [1][3]
  2. Provide a complete $30,000 budget, including personnel, travel, venues, materials, partner/event costs, starter-ZEC allocation, contingency, and any in-kind funding. [1]
  3. What evidence confirms access, programming slots, or activation arrangements for each named event, beyond Common S3nse? [4]
  4. What are the proposed milestone payments and acceptance criteria, including evidence required before payment?
  5. What measurable targets will define success—tour attendance, successful Zodl installations, completed onboarding, shielded transactions, follow-up retention, and cost per meaningful onboarding?
  6. How will starter ZEC be distributed and controlled: per-person cap, anti-abuse approach, wallet-support process, custody responsibility, participant privacy, and reconciliation?
  7. What documented results from the Buenos Aires playbook support forecasting attendance, conversion, and costs for Amsterdam? [6]

8. Neutral decision considerations

Committee members may weigh a potentially timely, visible grassroots activation within a privacy-oriented event week against limited evidence needed to judge execution quality and return on funds. [4]

Inference: The proposal could be more evaluable if structured as a small number of evidence-based milestones—such as confirmed event participation; delivered tours and activations; and a post-event report against predefined onboarding and follow-up metrics—rather than as an undifferentiated event budget.

A funding discussion could focus on whether the applicant can convert the stated activity plan into: (1) clear accountable ownership, (2) a transparent cost basis, (3) confirmed partner access, (4) safe starter-ZEC procedures, and (5) outcome measures that distinguish superficial exposure from sustained Zcash use. These considerations do not determine an approval or rejection outcome.

Committee briefing

Jul 11, 2026, 8:10 PM UTC

SharedSucceeded

1. Executive summary of the request

  • Application: “ZECsy Team in Amsterdam,” Application ID b33a5f3b-cc16-4494-b2bf-9c78c81891f8, applicant listed as The ZECsy Team, status under_review, requesting $30,000.[1] The historical registry row lists the applicant as ReadyMouse and the status as “ZCG to discuss.”[1][3]
  • Proposed activity: a week-long grassroots presence at Cypherpunk Week Amsterdam, Aug. 31–Sep. 6, 2026, centered on 2–3 guided evening walking tours through Amsterdam privacy history, ending at bars for Zodl onboarding, starter ZEC, and “tip-the-guide” mechanics, plus brand activation across Common S3nse, Web3Privacy meetups, DashCon, and Solana Startup Village.[4]
  • Current committee posture: ZCG meeting evidence dated 2026-07-06 records the proposal as “Remains open.”[4]

2. Applicant and team track record, including prior grants and documented outcomes

  • Evidence coverage warning: Team history uses an exact normalized applicant-name fallback. Participant identities and aliases have not been reviewed.
  • The current record names The ZECsy Team as applicant, while registry and platform metadata identify ReadyMouse/readymouse in relation to the application and forum post.[1][3][5][6] This should be treated as an unresolved identity/alias reconciliation issue, not proof of separate or identical persons.
  • The applicant forum post says this initiative “continues the playbook” run since Buenos Aires.[6] Outcome evidence is absent: no supplied record documents prior ZECsy grants, attendance, conversion, retained users, wallet activations, merchant adoption, or post-event ZEC usage attributable to that prior playbook.
  • No prior ZCG grants or completed milestones under the exact normalized applicant name The ZECsy Team are evidenced in the supplied records.[1]

3. Proposal scope, milestones, budget, technical approach, and dependencies

  • Budget: $30,000 requested.[1][2]
  • Scope: event-based grassroots marketing and onboarding during Cypherpunk Week Amsterdam, including walking tours, bar-based onboarding, starter ZEC, tip mechanics, and activations with adjacent privacy/crypto communities.[4]
  • Milestones: No grounded milestone schedule, deliverable acceptance criteria, payment schedule, or line-item budget breakdown appears in the supplied current evidence. The GitHub application body is truncated after terms/conditions metadata, so milestone details cannot be verified from the provided record.[2]
  • Technical approach: The evidenced approach is primarily in-person marketing/onboarding, not a software build. The technical dependency visible in the evidence is use of Zodl onboarding, starter ZEC, and tip mechanics.[4]
  • Dependencies: delivery depends on the Amsterdam event timing, access to target venues/meetups, the Zodl onboarding flow, availability of starter ZEC, and any claimed partner/event activations.[4] Evidence confirms Common S3nse is described as a “confirmed Zcash partner” in the committee summary, but no separate partner confirmation is supplied.[4]
  • Terms: the application record shows agreement to the Grant Agreement, conflict disclosure, Code of Conduct, Communication Guidelines, and KYC if funded above $50,000.[2] The request is $30,000.[1][2]

4. Community and committee signals from Forum and meeting evidence

  • The forum topic was created 2026-07-03, had 74 views, 1 post, and 0 replies in the supplied forum evidence.[6] This indicates low documented forum discussion as of the captured record; it is not evidence of community opposition.
  • ZCG meeting minutes on 2026-07-06 recorded the proposal as “Remains open” and summarized the request and event concept.[4] No approval, rejection, vote tally, or committee condition is evidenced for this application.[4]

5. Comparable grants: approved examples and documented results, plus declined examples and documented reasons

Approved comparables

  • ZecHub 2026: approved application requesting $419,361; GitHub labels include grant approved and milestones 1–6 complete.[8] Meeting rationale described ZecHub as a three-year open-source education hub that onboarded 232 new contributors and delivered tutorials, events, governance support, ecosystem communication, and cross-project partnerships.[9] Documented payment evidence shows Milestone 6 paid $31,360 on 2 Jul 2026, with later milestones still estimated, including Milestone 12 estimated 31 Dec 2026.[10][11] A status label is not proof of impact, but milestone/payment records document grant administration progress.[8][10]
  • Zcash Name Service: approved request for $92,200.[14] Committee rationale emphasized hardening a live ZNS beta’s trust model through TEE-hosted minting, removal of front-end key exposure, cryptographic proofs, SDKs, audit, and mainnet launch; committee comments also noted concerns about first-come-first-serve identity abuse and lack of identity verification.[15] Sheet evidence shows the grant open with milestone estimates, including Milestone 6 for $4,000 estimated 29 Jun 2026 and Milestone 8 for $2,000 estimated 13 Jul 2026.[18][19] Documented post-approval outcome evidence is limited in the supplied records.

Declined comparables

  • ZKPay Campus: declined request for $13,500.[32] Committee rationale focused on lack of a credible way to prevent double-spending for claimed offline payments without introducing trust, insufficient substantiation/design documentation, and bold claims about ecosystem state and delivery ability.[33]
  • Zcash Studio: declined request for $45,000.[38] Committee rationale stated the proposed tooling was possible with standardized development tools, that documentation may be a better need, and raised adoption/use concerns.[39]

6. Delivery, security, governance, legal, adoption, and sustainability considerations supported by evidence

  • Delivery: The proposal is time-bound to Aug. 31–Sep. 6, 2026; late approval, unclear venue access, or missing partner confirmations could affect execution.[4] No milestone acceptance criteria are evidenced.
  • Security/user safety: The plan includes onboarding participants with starter ZEC and tip mechanics at bars.[4] Inference: the committee may want controls for wallet setup quality, custody/non-custody clarity, loss prevention, and privacy-preserving onboarding, because the evidence does not specify these controls.
  • Governance/legal: The applicant agreed to grant terms, conflict disclosure, conduct rules, and KYC if funded above $50,000.[2] The requested amount is below that threshold at $30,000.[1][2]
  • Adoption: The proposal targets in-person onboarding and cross-community exposure at privacy/crypto events.[4] However, forum evidence shows no replies and only one forum post in the supplied snapshot, so community validation is not documented there.[6]
  • Sustainability: No grounded evidence documents post-event retention, repeat Zodl usage, ongoing local ambassador capacity, merchant conversion, or follow-up funnel.

7. Contradictions, unresolved reconciliation issues, missing evidence, and questions for the team

  • Applicant identity is unresolved: records list The ZECsy Team, ReadyMouse, and readymouse/ReadyMouse in different places.[1][3][5][6]
  • No grounded line-item budget, milestone schedule, success metrics, payment tranche structure, risk plan, or post-event reporting plan is visible in the supplied current evidence.[2][4]
  • No independent confirmation is supplied for venue access, walking-tour permissions, bar participation, Zodl readiness, starter-ZEC handling, or partner/event activation arrangements beyond the committee summary.[4]
  • Questions: What are the measurable targets for tours, onboarded wallets, starter-ZEC distribution, retained users, tips sent, and follow-up activity? Who controls starter ZEC? What user-safety/privacy script will guides use? What happens if event access or partner activations change?

8. Neutral decision considerations without issuing a funding decision

  • Favorable considerations: the request is modest relative to some approved ecosystem/education grants, is event-specific, and aligns with grassroots onboarding and privacy-community outreach evidenced in the proposal summary.[1][4][8][14]
  • Cautionary considerations: current evidence lacks milestones, budget detail, independent community feedback, and documented prior ZECsy outcomes.[2][6] Comparable declined grants show ZCG has rejected proposals where claims were insufficiently substantiated or adoption/value was uncertain.[33][39]
  • A neutral path for deliberation could include asking for a revised milestone/budget table, proof of partner/venue logistics, a starter-ZEC custody plan, and quantified post-event reporting metrics before final consideration.

Applicant proposes a week-long grassroots presence at Cypherpunk Week Amsterdam (Aug 31–Sep 6, 2026), centered on 2–3 guided evening walking tours through Amsterdam’s privacy history, ending at bars for Zodl onboarding with starter ZEC and tip-the-guide mechanics, alongside brand activation across Common S3nse (confirmed Zcash partner), Web3Privacy meetups, DashCon, and Solana Startup Village. Requesting $30,000. Artkor: I liked the team’s previous events. We received a lot of positive feedback and engagement, so I support continuing this work. Gguy: I also support this work. Paul: I think it’s really important work reaching out to a community that has very high potential to use Zcash and that there’s not many activities like this that I’m aware of that are reaching potential users that seem to be making a lot of traction. So, I’m highly in favor. Zerodartz: I’m ready to approve and they have done a good job so far. I reminded them today to update GitHub that they can work the booth at the event.
