#密码资产动态追踪 Zcash ecosystem experiences a major upheaval, and practitioners are once again witnessing a "palace intrigue" about faith and governance.

The incident began with the collective resignation of Electric Coin Company (ECC). This core team, which once led project development, encountered serious disagreements with management. CEO Josh Swihart was very straightforward: "The work environment prevents us from operating efficiently, let alone maintaining an honest stance."

It is worth noting that this split is not a collapse at the protocol level. ECC plans to start anew, with a new company continuing to push forward with the original team, and has also released a new wallet product, CashZ, targeting a broader range of applications.

The response from the other side (Bootstrap) focuses on compliance. They claim that the disagreement stems from legal risk assessments, especially concerns about the privatization direction of Zashi wallet, rather than a fundamental conflict of mission within the protocol itself. This "each has their own reasons" situation instead highlights the tug-of-war between the ideals of decentralization and practical governance in crypto projects.

Capital markets have sensed this atmosphere. The ZEC price has experienced a rollercoaster: initially plunging 22%, then rebounding 10 amid new developments. Bullish sentiment is rekindled, but some are pondering—where will this split ultimately lead?

This internal turmoil within Zcash perhaps also reflects the eternal dilemma faced by the entire ecosystem between scalability and governance.
