🚨BREAKING:
The entire development team behind $Zcash has resigned.
The full team at Electric Coin Company, the primary organization maintaining $Zcash, stepped down on January 7, 2026 following internal governance disputes.
Former CEO Josh Swihart described the exit as a “constructive discharge,” citing irreconcilable issues with the Bootstrap board.
The $Zcash network itself remains live, secure, and operational, but the sudden loss of its core dev team has shaken confidence.
