Zcash Governance Debate Heats Up as Community Divided

[bonk]

The Zcash community is split over whether to move from its current committee-based system to token voting.
Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz says committees create an “interventionista” problem — people making big decisions without bearing real risks. Markets, in contrast, punish bad decisions through falling prices and shifting influence.
But critics argue token voting could slide into plutocracy and fail to protect privacy.
The debate is intensifying as Zcash sees renewed interest following a 1,000% surge in three months.
