Zcash developer Josh Swihart halts ZEC staking upgrade, splitting ecosystem
Josh Swihart, a key Zcash developer, has halted a planned ZEC staking upgrade, creating an ecosystem split within the project. The staking reform had backing from Vitalik Buterin, making the veto a notable clash between core leadership and outside supporters. Traders holding ZEC should watch for community fallout and any fork or governance risk stemming from the decision.
