Sustainability and the Zbase Vision (Zcash Turkey)

Approved async

Zcash Türkiye seeks funding to establish ZBase, a dedicated operational structure that will strengthen the team’s capacity, professionalism, and long-term sustainability while keeping Zcash as its primary focus. ZBase will provide a stable foundation for ongoing Zcash-focused workshops, seminars, and community events, supported by limited, project-based collaborations with privacy and Web3 initiatives to generate complementary revenue without diluting priorities. Grant funds will be used to set up a small office, essential equipment, and the operational capacity needed to run regular programs and maintain a consistent local presence. This structure is intended to reduce long-term dependence on grants, improve accountability and efficiency, and demonstrate a model through which community initiatives can evolve into independent, self-sustaining contributors to the Zcash ecosystem. Applicant is requesting $31,000. Approved async.

Sustainability and the Zbase Vision (Zcash Turkey)

Remains open

Zcash Türkiye seeks funding to establish ZBase, a dedicated operational structure that will strengthen the team’s capacity, professionalism, and long-term sustainability while keeping Zcash as its primary focus. ZBase will provide a stable foundation for ongoing Zcash-focused workshops, seminars, and community events, supported by limited, project-based collaborations with privacy and Web3 initiatives to generate complementary revenue without diluting priorities. Grant funds will be used to set up a small office, essential equipment, and the operational capacity needed to run regular programs and maintain a consistent local presence. This structure is intended to reduce long-term dependence on grants, improve accountability and efficiency, and demonstrate a model through which community initiatives can evolve into independent, self-sustaining contributors to the Zcash ecosystem. Applicant is requesting $31,000. Gguy: I’ve reviewed this and am ready to vote when everyone is ready, I’m positive about this grant. I think sustainability is something we have to focus on and prioritize which is why I think this is worth trying. Hanh: I’m ok to vote too. Zerodartz: Not quite ready to vote. DecentralistDan: I’d prefer to wait as well. Artkor: I’d like to better understand the team’s plan for moving towards self-sustaining funding and I’d want to discuss it with Batuhan before forming a final view especially in terms of realism and scalability for all the communities. Zerodartz: For me the main thing that makes me hesitate about it is the location, which is not in the main big city. That means it’s harder to get people to visit the place. Open to learn more and I think the team has a good track record to possibly make it a success when the details are discussed further. Decentralistdan: That sort of gets to my point that I mentioned on Friday. My hesitation was, I did read Artkor’s message about the location. I was worried, I’m not sure why they need a set location. And now hearing this, from my perspective, it’s obviously much easier to bring the team to the city and rent a space when they need a space than to get people out to a set space that they have.
