I ran Parallel Research from November 2024 to October 2025. 35 posts on Solana internals, scaling, MEV and TEEs. 84,864 views, 124 subscribers, $1,000 in revenue before shutting it down and left research writing for a whileee.. Last month I came across Zcash and decided to dig in properly; so I went looking for something to read on Zcash Improvement Proposals first. There was nothing. Thirty three ZIPs sit at Draft. I just recently found out that Coinholders just voted 2.4 million ZEC across three of them. If you want to know what you voted on, your options are the raw spec or a trail of comments across GitHub, the forum, and meetings/call notes. So I started writing one explainer per ZIP....and....I plan to cover over 12 of them so far. Ps: just a fun side quest & i know the nerd series too. First two are live. - ZIP 318 - ZIP 2005 cc: @ZcashLabs https://t.co/jVnCp3qVSX
