Vitalik Buterin Warns of Token Voting’s Impact on Zcash’s Privacy Core

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has issued a stern warning about the potential impact of token-based governance on Zcash. He believes that such a system could jeopardize Zcash’s privacy objectives by prioritizing short-term price gains over long-term community interests. His concerns come as Zcash stakeholders are reviewing grant applications for the Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) committee, a process he finds concerning due to its potential influence on governance decisions.
