Milestone and disbursement ledger

Read-only milestone and disbursement fields normalized from the FPF grants ledger.

ZExchange: A Decentralized P2P Marketplace for Zcash

ZCG rejected this proposal.

- Brian gave background for this proposal. Emmanuel proposes building a decentralized P2P marketplace for acquiring Zcash without KYC requirements for $17,497. The project seeks to create a web-based platform with front and backend components, including secure escrow and decentralized governance. This platform will address gaps in current centralized exchanges by offering a privacy-focused, censorship-resistant alternative for users in regions with limited access to cryptocurrencies. By offering a secure, non-custodial alternative, this solution seeks to drive Zcash adoption and provide a more accessible means for users to acquire the cryptocurrency. ZCG discussed this grant at their brainstorm session and unanimously voted to reject this proposal.
