The development team behind Zcash at
Electric Coin Company resigned on January 7 after a dispute with the board. The developers are reportedly considering forming a new company, leaving Zcash without its core team. Following the news, $ZEC
dropped around 20 percent.
Zcash development has historically been led by Electric Coin Company, which played a central role in protocol upgrades and long term planning. The sudden exit raises questions about governance, funding, and who will maintain the network going forward.
Attention is now on whether the departing developers will continue working on Zcash independently or if new contributors will step in. Updates on leadership, development continuity, and community coordination will be key to watch.
