Zooko, Sean Bowe Back Plan to Pull 50,000 ZEC From Zcash Grants Treasury

The push by Zooko and Bowe to redirect the grants committee's block-reward cut into a miner reserve is a notable governance test for Zcash: it pits founding-figure influence against an incumbent committee that had just proposed a gradual taper. The outcome will shape how much funding flows to grants versus miners, affecting both the committee's operational capacity and the incentive structure securing the network. Whether the proposal gains community support or the taper prevails is the open question to watch.
