Zcash and the Regulatory/Policy Environment Sessions
summary
Video compiles six sessions about concrete legal and product fights: OFAC sanction of Tornado Cash in 2022, subsequent developers indicted for conspiracy / unlicensed money transmission / sanctions evasion, and Coin Center / Blockchain Association / DeFi Education Fund amicus filings. Talks show miners excluding sanctioned t‑addresses, debate on view keys vs shielded Z addresses and auto‑shielding, early PoS research (hybrid finality layer), payer tools (Zego), and practical asks—get lawyers, fix wallet sync, fund global ambassadors and incubation in Cayman.
