Day 2 of the Zcash Workshop was packed with valuable insights.

@dismad8 walked us through the ZecHub Wiki, explaining how anyone can start contributing to the Zcash ecosystem, opportunities available through the Ambassador program, and learning resources available to community members. I also learned about the educational playlist that offers participants a chance to earn 1 ZEC while learning.

@am_ochuko covered Zcash integrations and did an excellent job breaking down technical concepts into simple explanations that both technical and non-technical participants could follow. One of my key takeaways was learning more about nodes, Zebra, and why having an independent Rust implementation strengthens the ecosystem.

Looking forward to Day 3 tomorrow and learning even more about privacy-preserving technology and the Zcash ecosystem.

Today's Zcash session was insightful.

@CQ_Elzz started by explaining what Zcash is, why privacy matters, and who it's built for. One point that stood out was imagining a world where anyone can see your balance and track your activities through the blockchain. Zcash solves this through its shielded transactions, giving users financial privacy when they need it.

I also learned that privacy becomes even stronger when more people use shielded addresses, rather than having only a few users shielded while everyone else remains transparent.

Later, Squirrel walked us through the history of Zcash, how it traces back to ideas and research from the Bitcoin era, and how @zooko and others continued pursuing privacy-focused technology that eventually led to the creation of Zcash.

Looking forward to tomorrow's session with @dismad8.

If you're curious about privacy, crypto, or Zcash, consider joining the ZecHub Discord and community calls. That's where these learning sessions happen.
Thanks @CQ_Elzz, @ZecHub and @Zcash for the learning opportunity.

[_Thevoid @Dark_907]

My friend kept her savings in an envelope inside a bible.

Not because she didn't trust banks.

She didn't trust what banks will issue to her:
→The fees.
→ The minimum balances.
→The quiet tax on being poor that dressed itself up as policy.

She understood without the language of finance. The issue was never her; it was the system that surrounded her but was never designed for her.

And she was expected to be grateful for the proximity.

The blockchain was supposed to change that story.

@blok_cap built that trust and changes everything.

You’re still setting up your development environment.

Someone else already shipped that.

@CodeXero_xyz v2 by @clusterprotocol is now live on @Base. Unlike most Web3 development platforms, it operates as a Web3 application itself.

No local setup. No complex toolchains.

Open a browser, describe what you want to build, and deploy directly to Base mainnet.

What matters here is not only the deployment process but where the environment runs.

→ The IDE,
→ Orchestration layer
→ And deployment flows are all onchain.

That means the development process itself becomes verifiable, not just the final smart contract.

This introduces a different model for transparency, security, and accountability in software development.

Before v2, the platform had already surpassed 300,000 wallets and 25,000 dApp deployments.

Most Web3 tooling forces developers to choose between speed and structure.

CodeXero appears to be closing that gap by combining rapid application development with auditable execution.

Vitalik has already pointed toward the rise of “vibe coding,” and this week, @UXLINKofficial expanded further into that direction with its social infrastructure layer.

The blockchain itself is becoming infrastructure.

The real value is shifting toward the environment where onchain creation begins.

That is the category @clusterprotocol is positioning itself to lead.

@rpcfast @colosseum Building Gleyo on Solana, using RPC Fast for low-latency onboarding + wallet verification.

[Okiri Donald @okirlee]

Built Gleyo for the @colosseum Hackathon + @SuperteamNG.

Gleyo helps online communities improve onboarding and retention through onboarding flows and behavior analytics.

Piloting with early users and iterating fast.

@alice_nvr Security attracts users. Retention comes from UX, liquidity, and real reasons to stay.

[Okiri Donald @okirlee]

@alice_nvr Reddit is tricky for retention, but AMAs are perfect to spark long-term engagement. Can’t wait to see it 🔥

[Okiri Donald @okirlee]

@DigiFinex 10% APR definitely gets attention 👀

Curious though, what keeps users engaged after the initial hype wears off?

[Okiri Donald @okirlee]

@UNA_tics “Built differently” hits harder when the community actually stays active after campaigns.

That’s where most projects struggle tbh.

[Okiri Donald @okirlee]

@capcutapp These types of challenges usually get a lot of submissions, but most drop off right after posting.

Curious if you’re doing anything to keep creators engaged beyond the contest period?

That’s where a lot of campaigns lose long-term value.

@travalacom @AVAFoundation Tiers are great for incentives 👌

Biggest issue I’ve seen though, users farm rewards and disappear after.

Retention > acquisition

Curious how you’re keeping users active long-term beyond tiers?
