Zcash World, Mumbai (Devcon 8 week)

Approved

Applicant proposes a multi-phase Devcon 8 week program anchored by a one-day fully shielded ZEC environment (registration requires a wallet, Z-BAZAAR accepts only shielded ZEC, 250–300 wallet onboards, live device benchmarking on entry-level Android hardware), followed by merchant onboarding of 20 Mumbai businesses during Devcon week, ecosystem engagement on the Devcon floor, and content capture throughout — with the benchmarking dataset released open-licensed and an after-movie published within 72 hours. Requesting $20,300. Artkor: I liked that this proposal includes practical use of shielded transactions, testing wallets on low-end devices, and an attempt to onboard local merchants. It also comes from an active team we’ve already been following, so I’m happy to support this proposal. Hanh: I approve as well. It has a concrete plan, a known team, and a very reasonable budget. Everything looks very good. Gguy: I agree. I’m excited to see how this event goes. Zerodartz: I will also approve, since this team has a proven track record in the Zcash community already. They have done some onboarding in India, and they will also collaborate with the WebZero hackathon. That is great to see. Paul: I think it’s a really cool idea, and hopefully it can be used for future events as well. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
