FPF source evidence
Milestone and disbursement ledger
Read-only milestone and disbursement fields normalized from the FPF grants ledger.
These ledger rows are FPF source evidence. They do not by themselves prove that a progress update was accepted, a payment request was approved, or an on-chain settlement was completed. Named rows can also describe reimbursements, returned funds, or other ledger adjustments.
No normalized FPF milestone or disbursement rows are linked to this application yet. The application and its other source evidence remain available below.

Z3G: Zcash Z3 RPC Compatibility Gateway for zcashd Deprecation
Decision text was not parsed from the minutes.
Z3G is a migration-critical, operator-grade JSON-RPC compatibility gateway designed to reduce production risk as the Zcash ecosystem transitions away from zcashd to the Z3 stack. It provides a single zcashd-style RPC endpoint that preserves a clearly defined subset of the highest-demand, non-wallet RPC methods relied on by exchanges, mining pools, explorers, and infrastructure providers, while routing requests to Zebra and Zaino under the hood. By enforcing explicit, method-by-method compatibility contracts, normalizing schemas and error behavior, and shipping with regression and abuse-case tests plus secure-by-default deployment controls, Z3G makes limitations explicit rather than implicit and prevents silent compatibility drift. The result is safer, incremental migration with less integration churn, stronger upstream readiness through shared specifications and tests, and a reduced likelihood of service disruption during the deprecation of zcashd. Applicant is requesting $30,000. Gguy: ZCG is going to reject this proposal. Artkor: This proposal doesn’t appear to be aligned with the core technical teams of the ecosystem and as far as we know alternative approaches are already being discussed. For these reasons I reject this proposal. Zerodartz: I don’t see the value for now as similar things are already planned by others. Decentralistdan: reject. This type of proposal is in line with the work of the current teams working on Z3 Unanimous rejection
