what happened

According to TradingView, a Zcash (ZECUSD) proposal would send 36,200 ZEC to the Network Sustainability Mechanism and keep roughly 55,200 ZEC for grants. The authors note that the current 8% share of the block reward is higher than the network requires.

Gemini CEO Tyler Winklevoss said Zcash is not a public good and should be funded by the market. He opposed grant-based and government-style mechanisms for backing development.

why it matters

For Zcash miners, the issue is the size of the block reward. If the 8% share shrinks or part of it goes to the fund, revenue per block could change. The outcome depends on the ZEC price, fees and network difficulty, none of which the summary details.
