On January 9th, the Zcash Foundation conveyed its latest stance—regarding the collective resignation of the development team and their plans to establish a new company, the official response was clear.

As a decentralized open-source protocol, Zcash's core positioning determines its resilience. Even if there are changes within any individual contributor, team, or organization, it will not undermine the integrity and continuity of the Zcash blockchain itself. This is a true reflection of decentralized design—the protocol operates independently and does not rely on any single organization or board.

The network continues to run as usual, without question. The Zcash Foundation emphasized its role as the protocol's steward: to continue advancing development, fund independent research projects, strengthen infrastructure decentralization, and maintain transparent communication and collaboration with all ecosystem participants.

In a sense, this organizational change actually validates the robustness of Zcash's design—truly decentralized protocols should be able to withstand shocks from organizational levels.

Even if the team runs away, they can't die. This is true decentralization.

That's right, true decentralization should withstand this kind of pressure.

True decentralization should be like this, with people coming and going, and the protocol still running smoothly.

This wave of resignations actually confirms what true decentralization looks like; as long as the protocol is robust enough.

Once again, a perfect example of "people leave, tea cools." The foundation's response is basically saying "we're fine" haha. The team has left, but the protocol continues to operate as usual—that's what true decentralization looks like. Just want to ask those developers who have left, how's the new project going?

Alright, the wave of resignations actually proves that decentralization is reliable. I give this logic a score of one.

The wave of resignations has already arrived, and the foundation is still here boasting about decentralization. Impressive. By the way, can the team really hold up if they all leave? Zcash's rhetoric sounds like damage control no matter how you listen to it. Just watch the show; anyway, the protocol can't run away.
