Looking at the Zcash situation more carefully, here's what's actually happening: the developer team isn't abandoning the project—they're restructuring out of the corporate entity. The core development continues, just under a different organizational framework.

So what's the real shift here? Functionally speaking, not much changes for Zcash holders or the protocol itself. The dev resources remain committed, the roadmap stays on track, it's mainly a governance restructuring rather than a fundamental pivot.

The narrative can feel alarming without context, but the substance is more administrative than existential.
