Zcash hit major turbulence this week. The entire core development team from Electric Coin Company resigned en masse after governance restructuring by the Bootstrap nonprofit board. CEO Josh Swihart described the situation as 'constructive discharge,' signaling deep friction over control and direction. The protocol itself remains operational, and departing developers are reportedly forming a new venture to continue work. Market reaction was swift—$ZEC tumbled 17% following a recent rally, settling above $400. The move raises questions about Zcash's future trajectory and whether the exodus signals broader governance challenges in the ecosystem.

ZEC-9.91%

The ZEC wave of resignations is really unsustainable; the entire team leaving is truly intense.
