summary

Dev Fund ends next year and the panel argues to renew it but change how it works: keep the 21 million supply cap, add jurisdictional resilience, and let a third independent body allocate some funds via the direct grant option so recipients can get paid without intermediaries. Lessons: grants paid in ZEC leave teams exposed to price swings, so treasury hedging and dollar-denominated milestones help; SIP-1014 transparency rules require active auditing; many users download non-shielded wallets (Atomic cited), and small community efforts (weekly newsletter ≈0.5 ZEC/issue) move the needle.
