Vitalik Buterin Warns Zcash Against Token-Weighted Governance
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin cautioned the Zcash community on November 30, 2025, against implementing token-based voting systems. He argued such governance structures could compromise the network's long-term privacy protections. Buterin described token voting as "worse than Zcash's status quo," warning that privacy features risk erosion when governance power concentrates among token holders.
