The plan drew quick criticism from industry figures who want the committee to answer to ZEC holders first.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Plan Would Work<\/h2>\n<p>ZCG laid out the plan in a <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.zcashcommunity.com\/t\/zcg-gets-too-much-zec-heres-our-plan-to-fix-that\/58566\">community forum post<\/a> titled &quot;ZCG gets too much ZEC. Here&#039;s our plan to fix that.&quot; The committee holds a treasury of roughly 91,500 ZEC. Under the proposal, it would transfer 36,200 ZEC to the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM), the part of the protocol that reserves coins for future mining rewards, and keep about 55,200 ZEC, worth about $70 million at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"crn-inline-figure\"><img width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/coinranking.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/zcash-zec-30-day-daily-candlestick-price-chart-with-volume-b-chart-4da389c272-1024x576.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Zcash ZEC 30-day daily candlestick price chart with volume bars, dark mode on Coinranking\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coinranking.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/zcash-zec-30-day-daily-candlestick-price-chart-with-volume-b-chart-4da389c272-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/coinranking.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/zcash-zec-30-day-daily-candlestick-price-chart-with-volume-b-chart-4da389c272-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/coinranking.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/zcash-zec-30-day-daily-candlestick-price-chart-with-volume-b-chart-4da389c272-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/coinranking.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/zcash-zec-30-day-daily-candlestick-price-chart-with-volume-b-chart-4da389c272-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/coinranking.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/zcash-zec-30-day-daily-candlestick-price-chart-with-volume-b-chart-4da389c272-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/coinranking.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/zcash-zec-30-day-daily-candlestick-price-chart-with-volume-b-chart-4da389c272-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/coinranking.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/zcash-zec-30-day-daily-candlestick-price-chart-with-volume-b-chart-4da389c272-640x360.png 640w, https:\/\/coinranking.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/zcash-zec-30-day-daily-candlestick-price-chart-with-volume-b-chart-4da389c272-320x180.png 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>Zcash (ZEC) price over the 30 days to November 1, 2026. Chart: Coinranking<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>ZCG also proposed forgoing about 62,000 ZEC, about $78.5 million, in future allocations and tapering its remaining funding until the 2032 halving. Together, the steps would redirect about 98,000 ZEC toward future block rewards. Under the current arrangement, ZCG&#039;s automatic allocation ends in 2028. The alternative would extend reduced funding for another four years. ZCG said the plan was preliminary and that a full proposal would follow for community consideration.<\/p>\n<h2>The Backlash<\/h2>\n<p>Helius co-founder and CEO Mert Mumtaz called the proposal &quot;nowhere near good enough,&quot; arguing the treasury is already too large and that funding decisions should be accountable to ZEC holders. Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss also questioned the committee&#039;s accountability, saying that a member who unfollowed Mumtaz on X made themselves unqualified to oversee funds of that size.<\/p>\n<p>The criticism follows an earlier proposal from Zcash co-founder Sean Bowe to end ZCG&#039;s automatic 8% share of newly issued ZEC and redirect it to the NSM while leaving the existing treasury untouched. ZCG&#039;s plan is its own compromise: shrink the treasury now and accept a smaller share later.<\/p>\n<h2>Price and Context<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinranking.com\/chart\/coin\/aRGRWLf2RYNq4+zcash-zec\/price\">ZEC<\/a> traded near $1,251 on November 1, 2026, according to Coinranking data, ranking it among the ten largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation. Zcash is one of the largest <a href=\"https:\/\/coinranking.com\/coins\/privacy\">privacy coins<\/a> in crypto, running its own <a href=\"https:\/\/coinranking.com\/coins\/layer-1\">layer 1 blockchain<\/a> with proof-of-work mining. The proposal matters for miners and holders alike, because coins sent to the NSM are reserved for future block rewards rather than spent by a committee.<\/p>\n<h2>What Happens Next<\/h2>\n<p>ZCG said a full proposal would follow for community consideration, so the numbers can still change. The debate now is about governance as much as about the coins: critics want any deal on treasury size to come with clear accountability to ZEC holders, while ZCG argues its plan already gives back most of what it receives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zcash Community Grants wants to shrink its own treasury and send the coins to the Network Sustainability Mechanism, but industry figures say the committee first needs to answer to ZEC holders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crn_external_id":"oc-2026-11-01-zec-zcg-treasury-block-rewards","_crn_dek":"Zcash Community Grants wants to shrink its own treasury and send the coins to the Network Sustainability Mechanism, but industry figures say the committee first needs to answer to ZEC holders.","_crn_takeaways":"[\"Zcash Community Grants proposed on October 29, 2026 to redirect about 98,000 ZEC, roughly $124 million, toward future block rewards.\",\"The plan would move 36,200 ZEC from the committee's treasury to the Network Sustainability Mechanism and forgo 62,000 ZEC in future allocations.\",\"The committee would keep about 55,200 ZEC, worth about $70 million, and taper its funding until the 2032 halving.\",\"Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz called the proposal nowhere near good enough, and Tyler Winklevoss questioned the committee's accountability.\"]","_crn_faq":"[{\"question\":\"What did Zcash Community Grants propose?\",\"answer\":\"On October 29, 2026, ZCG proposed redirecting about 98,000 ZEC, roughly $124 million, toward future block rewards by shrinking its treasury and forgoing future allocations.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the Network Sustainability Mechanism?\",\"answer\":\"The NSM is the part of the Zcash protocol that reserves coins for future mining rewards, so ZEC sent there is paid out to miners over time instead of being spent by a committee.\"},{\"question\":\"How much ZEC would ZCG keep?\",\"answer\":\"About 55,200 ZEC, worth roughly $70 million at the time of the proposal, with its remaining funding tapering until the 2032 halving.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are industry figures criticizing the plan?\",\"answer\":\"Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz called it nowhere near good enough, and Tyler Winklevoss questioned the committee's accountability to ZEC holders.\"}]","_crn_sources":"[{\"name\":\"Zcash Community Forum\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/forum.zcashcommunity.com\/t\/zcg-gets-too-much-zec-heres-our-plan-to-fix-that\/58566\",\"title\":\"ZCG gets too much ZEC.
