  8. Paradigm Co-founder: Zcash Developer Fund Is Crucial, Pure Coin-Holder Voting May Undermine Long-Term TrustDashTape reports that Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang posted on the X platform outlining some views on Zcash. He stated that blockchain ecosystems generally face the challenge of long-term funding sources, especially for public goods financing, and that funding developer funds through an inflation mechanism is a viable approach. He believes that amid the backdrop of AI-enhanced cyberattack capabilities and the rapid development of quantum technology, the Zcash developer fund remains highly significant. Matt Huang also stated that as Zcash gains greater acceptance and adoption as a privacy supplement to Bitcoin, governance relying purely on coin-holder voting may introduce unpredictability and affect its ability to build long-term trust as a monetary asset. Therefore, Zcash is better suited to combining coin-holder voting with other governance approaches. Matt Huang also disclosed that Paradigm is an investor in ZEC and ZODL. In the early hours of today, ZEC briefly broke above $1,385, setting a new all-time high.
