Based on TheCCPress, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, warned the Zcash community against adopting token-based governance on November 30, 2025, citing risks to privacy. He emphasized that token voting could increase the influence of median token holders and undermine Zcash’s core privacy features. Zcash currently uses consensus-based methods for decision-making, which help preserve its privacy model. Buterin’s comments have sparked discussions within the community and raised concerns about potential impacts on investor sentiment and ZEC token valuation.
