Until now, there hasn't been any real grassroots adoption effort at the local level. Approximately 95% of the business data collected since 2024 represents businesses that are no longer actively accepting Zcash. Adoption starts from the ground up, with local businesses and real relationships with users. That's exactly the vision we're working to bring to life.

[ZecMap @ZecMap]

You probably can't imagine how low real-world Zcash adoption actually is. Meanwhile, we've spent the last six months working hard to reach new businesses, sending more than 4,000 emails as part of our outreach efforts. Today, over 120 local businesses are listed on ZecMap.

While waiting for support to help us achieve more and scale these efforts, being rejected on the grounds that our impact is too low feels a little strange. :)

10 Kasım…

Cumhuriyetimizin kurucusu, bağımsızlık mücadelemizin önderi Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ü, aramızdan ayrılışının yıl dönümünde saygı, minnet ve özlemle anıyoruz.

Fikirleri, ilke ve devrimleriyle aydınlattığı yol, bugün de geleceğe yür��yen nesillere ışık tutmaya devam ediyor.

Saygı, rahmet ve minnetle
10 Kasım 1938 – Sonsuza dek.

@michael2xl @0xramplabs Wow 🎬🛡️

[ZecMap @ZecMap]

We've tried every possible avenue to make this vision a reality for nearly seven months.

[ZecMap @ZecMap]

One of our plans was to send starter kits to businesses through our regional ambassadors. We envisioned these kits containing window stickers, QR codes to be placed on checkout counters, $10 worth of Zcash gift cards, and other promotional materials.
We still want to make this happen, of course. However, the timing and scale of the initiative will depend on the circumstances and available budget.

[ZecMap @ZecMap]

Also, the community specifically asked us to include Flexa businesses on the map.

And think about it: if we're already getting 50,000 impressions in Google Search in just 10 days, imagine what we could achieve by pushing those pages into the top 3 search results through SEO.

What if we added a short pop-up message introducing Zcash to visitors whenever they open a business page? Wouldn't that be a much more effective way to reach new people and introduce them to Zcash?

Honestly, this feels like a more organic approach than many marketing strategies that are designed to look organic. :)

[ZecMap @ZecMap]

ZecMap's Google Search Console data from the past 12 days is quite remarkable: 45,000 impressions, approximately 38,000 of which came from the United States.

Looking at the search data, we can see well-known businesses listed on ZecMap, such as GameStop and Chipotle, standing out. More importantly, ZecMap is already appearing on Google's first page for searches related to these businesses.

This shows just how much potential ZecMap has to bring new users into the Zcash ecosystem.

With stronger SEO and content efforts targeting the US market, if we can get ZecMap into the top three search results for these queries, many more people could visit ZecMap to explore the locations and details of these businesses.

But the really exciting opportunity starts right there.

While visitors are browsing business listings, we could introduce a small, attention-grabbing pop-up informing them that they can pay with Zcash at these businesses.

What kind of impact could it have if we introduced Zcash to thousands of potential customers who search for these businesses every day?

The goal is really to drive adoption. Just six months ago, this idea didn't even exist. We found 250–300 business listings in historical data that claimed to accept Zcash payments, but when we checked them, we couldn't find even 10% of those businesses still accepting ZEC.

There are millions of people who don't know about Zcash or have never heard of it. We've sent 4,980 emails so far, and we're actively continuing our outreach.

We now have over 150 local businesses. We're trying to make things happen and move adoption forward. Adoption is hard.

@Tripleyouwu @zooko Wow

6 more businesses have been added to ZecMap!

[ZecMap @ZecMap]

We have some great and creative plans. Some things are difficult, and finding resources, whether big or small, is one of the most fundamental factors in moving a project or an idea forward.

We haven't given up in 6 months, and we're here to keep going for many years to come.

This platform will become very popular within the next 1–2 years!

A note to history.

[ZecMap @ZecMap]

5 more businesses have been added to ZecMap!
We're continuing to grow every single day. As block times decrease and future initiatives bring new opportunities to the Zcash ecosystem, we believe ZecMap will become increasingly valuable.

We're still at an early stage, but we believe in what we're building. Step by step, we're bringing Zcash closer to everyday use.

Zcash local teams continue to push forward.

You can't achieve this kind of progress and these initiatives simply by throwing money at them. Real and sustainable adoption starts at the grassroots level.

A big thank you to everyone putting in the effort, contributing, and believing in the vision to take ZecMap to the next level.

We have some exciting things coming soon for businesses.

[ZecMap @ZecMap]

This is what user adoption looks like for ZecMap. Completely organic.

This is a list of users who registered on Monday, November 1. And there are more. We're also receiving business listing applications.

We're moving forward with small but steady steps.
