Zcash's development landscape just shifted dramatically. The Electric Coin Company, which has been instrumental in Zcash's journey, is stepping back following disagreements with the Bootstrap nonprofit over governance direction. It's a significant moment for the project.

Here's the silver lining: Zcash development isn't hitting pause. The team is rolling out new wallet features to keep the ecosystem moving forward. The transition underscores how mature the Zcash network has become—it can adapt and evolve even as key players reshape their roles. Whether this marks a turning point or a natural evolution in the project's governance structure, the community will be watching closely.

Honestly, the ECC exit this time caught us a bit off guard... but the new wallet features have steadied the troops.

Ha, another excuse of a "mature project"... How can Electric Coin Company's departure be called adaptation?

Ha, more governance bickering... The Electric Coin Company stepping back was obvious from the start, just a power struggle.

Hmm... ECC has really exited? Who will hold the governance power now? I have a feeling there will be some drama.

Oh no, ECC is退出? Now Zcash really has to stand firm on its own.

It's another governance drama. The ECC withdrawal has been anticipated for a while; this routine repeats itself in the privacy coin circle.

Wow, ECC really withdrew? The privacy coin circle is about to start blaming each other again... But speaking of which, wallet features are still being updated, which is the main point, right? As long as the ecosystem isn't broken, it's not too bad. ZEC has been able to hold on until now, which is already impressive; now it's just a matter of whether Bootstrap can handle this mess. This time, it's all about who can do better... ECC leaving the scene actually proves that ZEC is mature? Listen to this 🙃 If it can truly evolve automatically, that would be great; but I'm worried it might turn into a ghost project with no one at the wheel. Every time the crypto world talks about a "major change," they say it's no big deal, but in the end?
