The Canadian nonprofit Open Privacy is working on Cwtch, a zcash-fueled messaging app with more decentralization than Telegram or Signal.

Already last Friday, the Electric Coin Company (ECC) published the results of the vote about the decision on the further funding of the development of Zcash, as CNF reported. A large majority of participants voted that the ECC and Zcash Foundation should continue to be funded through the block reward and be responsible for the continued development and promotion of the Zcash ecosystem. The current scheme will expire after 4 years, in November 2020.

The privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash was among the top crypto assets at the peak of the crypto hype bubble in 2017 when feverish retail buying drove the price of the altcoin to as high as $850 at its record.

Zcash (ZEC) is experiencing a different kind of day that it usually experiences. It has traded as high as +13% on the day and is currently holding around the +11.19% range. At present, the volume is the highest of the past 40-days, and if it keeps the pressure up, it will surpass the 40-day volume high to be the second-highest volume days since September 25th, 2019 (71 days). This is also the most bullish looking candlestick on the daily chart that Zcash has seen in over a month – the last being the October 25th daily candlestick which saw Zcash trade up +11.74%. It remains to whether momentum and a commitment of bulls will continue to push Zcash higher, but so far, it looks as if some strong participants are maintaining the present value.

In recent weeks, all members of the Zcash community have been able to vote on how to fund the project in the future. Currently, the Electric Coin Company (ECC) is responsible for the development of Zcash. It is financed by a part of the “Founders Reward”, because Zcash did not carry out an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) or a pre-mine.
