Grayscale: Zcash Active Developers Doubled in Two Years, Community Growth May Lift ZEC Valuation

According to ChainCatcher, Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl said Zcash’s monthly active developer count roughly doubled over the past two years, while the broader crypto developer community has declined from its peak. About 70% of Zcash’s active developers have more than one year of crypto development experience, compared with 58% across the industry. They also bring expertise in zero-knowledge proofs and research into post-quantum cryptography. Pandl said sustained developer participation indicates the network can continue to improve, and that its growing community’s privacy focus and goal of making private digital currency more accessible could support protocol innovation and eventually contribute to a higher ZEC valuation.
