<p>The Zcash community has voted on a new methodology for distributing network mining rewards to support the development of the privacy-oriented cryptocurrency.</p> <p>Per the <a href="https://vote.heliosvoting.org/helios/elections/43b9bec8-39a1-11ea-914c-b6e34ffa859a/view">voting decision</a>, 20% of the Zcash mining rewards will be <a href="https://electriccoin.co/blog/dev-fund-poll-shows-consensus/">allocated</a> to a development fund, while miners will get 80% as of block 1,046,400.</p> <p>The development funds will be distributed among different parties. Electric Coin Company will get 7% of mining rewards, the Zcash Foundation will get 5% and the rest 8% will be used for grants to third-party developers.</p> <p>The new rewarding structure would get implemented in November 2020 if the Zcash Foundation and Electric Coin Company – the main firm behind Zcash’s development – agree to go ahead with it.</p> <p><br /> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54346" src="https://www.tbstat.com/wp/uploads/2020/01/distribution_2-1536x8261.png" alt="" width="1536" height="826" /></p>
