Zcash Arabia - Q1 2026

Decision text was not parsed from the minutes.

Zcash Arabia is a community initiative focused on expanding awareness, adoption, and development of Zcash across the Arabic-speaking MENA region by delivering localized education, community engagement, and developer support. The project provides Arabic-language learning resources through an online academy, articles, videos, and interactive content, alongside events, AMAs, and partnerships to grow real-world usage and wallet adoption such as Zashi. By building a sustainable Arabic-speaking Zcash community, the initiative aims to drive long-term, organic growth and strengthen Zcash’s presence in a rapidly expanding crypto market. Applicant is requesting $7,500. Artkor: I support approving the grant for Zcash Arabia. Following a meeting with the applicant and ZecHub representatives the proposal was updated to reflect the feedback received. I expect the team to deliver measurable results and contribute to the global community through close collaboration with ZecHub. Gguy: I’m also happy to approve this grant under those conditions and we can review the outcomes when we encourage more collaboration between these local communities and the wider Zcash ecosystem. Zerodartz: I also approve. They have become more active and responsive again. We can see how they do and then review later. Decentralistdan: Approve as well. After the meeting and discussions with ZecHub and the changes made I’m going to approve for the three month time frame and then evaluate. Hanh: Yes, approve as well for three months. Approved (unanimous)

Remains open

Zcash Arabia is a community initiative focused on expanding awareness, adoption, and development of Zcash across the Arabic-speaking MENA region by delivering localized education, community engagement, and developer support. The project provides Arabic-language learning resources through an online academy, articles, videos, and interactive content, alongside events, AMAs, and partnerships to grow real-world usage and wallet adoption such as Zashi. In parallel, it supports developer growth through workshops, technical training, documentation, and planned hackathons, addressing the current lack of Arabic resources and low regional participation. Applicant is requesting $7,500. Gguy: Putting on hold and we’ll have more discussions going forward on how we can assist this team on their contributions and impact. We view this region as important for Zcash but we have reservations about the effectiveness of this team. Artkor: While the activity level of the Zcash Arabia team declined somewhat in the last quarter of the previous year, I would like to give the team an opportunity to demonstrate its work more effectively. During the discussion, we outlined the direction in which the committee would like to see this initiative evolve. As a result, we intend to propose additions to the current grant. If this revised approach proves to be of interest to the Zcash Arabia team, I would support approving a trial period. DecentralistDan: I’m open to a trial period and help them set off in a new direction but yes, I’m happy to keep it open. Zerodartz: My view is they have not proved themselves so far with minimal activity. But if they can prove themselves during next months i could change my opinion. .
