The nonprofit organization behind Zcash, Bootstrap, recently responded to the team’s departure incident. Speaking of which, the root of the problem actually lies in funding.

Specifically — when the team sought external investment, they encountered many restrictions under the legal framework of U.S. nonprofit organizations. These legal limitations directly led to internal governance disputes, which eventually evolved into collective resignations.

Bootstrap's current attitude is proactive. They have already begun in-depth discussions with legal advisors, engaging in multiple rounds of debate on two issues: "how to introduce external capital" and "alternative solutions for Zashi privatization." Their core demand is clear: to find a way that can meet funding needs, comply with U.S. nonprofit regulations, and simultaneously protect the interests of the Zcash community.

In plain terms, it’s about finding a way out between a rock and a hard place — to survive and develop, without violating rules or harming the community. Such dilemmas are actually quite common in crypto projects.
