Zcash Foundation: Zcash is not controlled by any single entity and its codebase is open source

Odaily News The Zcash Foundation posted on the X platform, stating that Zcash has always been a decentralized, open-source protocol, with no single contributor, team, or organization able to control it.

Its codebase is completely open source, its consensus rules are maintained by independent node operators worldwide, and its development is supported by a diverse range of organizations and contributors. As a steward of the protocol, the Zcash Foundation's mission is to serve the public interest, with key focuses including: maintaining and supporting Zcash protocol development, funding independent research and engineering practices, supporting the decentralization of infrastructure and governance, and advocating for privacy as a fundamental human right.
