Launching the First Zcash Privacy and Developer Education Initiative Across Kenyan Universities and Tech Communities 2026

Declined async

7-month, 13-event program across 5 Kenyan cities covering shielded wallet onboarding, ZK fundamentals, privacy dApp design, and build challenges targeting students and developers. Requesting $41,000 . Artkor: Kenya looks like a promising region for crypto-related education outreach, particularly given the level of engagement among part of its younger population. At the same time, I believe ZCG should apply consistent standards to new applicants, with real weight given to sustained ecosystem participation. Engagement through ZecHub has proven to be a fair and practical filter. It remains open to everyone, while helping us identify teams that are serious about long-term contribution to the Zcash community. Gguy: Yeah I agree. I would encourage these applicants to continue to participate. I like some of their ideas and if they can prove themselves over a period of time I’m sure they can come back and reapply for the grants program. Zerodartz: Similar thoughts. Would love to see them become active first and after a while try out ZecHub mini grant. Decentralistdan: I would like to see new teams with proposals of this type contribute to the ecosystem first before submitting a grant of this size

Comment on #249: Launching the First Zcash Privacy and Developer Education Initiative Across Kenyan Universities and Tech Communities 2026

Hi @itsored you need to take a few actions before I can assign this to ZCG for review. 1. Startup + milestones must equal total budget amount. So either remove startup funding or remove one of the $6,000 milestones. 2. You need to post t...
