Zcash Foundation: Zcash is a decentralized open-source protocol, not controlled by any single contributor or team

BlockBeats News, January 9th, the Zcash ecosystem's core official non-profit foundation Zcash Foundation posted on social media, stating that Zcash has always been a decentralized open-source protocol. No single contributor, team, or organization can control Zcash.

Zcash was designed with resilience in mind from the beginning. Its codebase is fully open source, consensus rules are collectively maintained by globally distributed node operators, and its development is supported by a diverse set of organizations and contributors. As stewards of the protocol, the mission of the Zcash Foundation is to serve the public good, with a focus on:

· Maintaining and supporting Zcash protocol development

· Funding independent research and engineering practices
· Supporting decentralization of infrastructure and governance

· Advocating for privacy as a fundamental human right
