Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss have donated $1.2 million to Shielded Labs, an independent Zcash developer group, to support security and scalability improvements. This funding follows a major shakeup where the Electric Coin Company’s development team resigned due to governance conflicts. Despite recent price declines in Zcash's token, the funding aims to enhance long-term sustainability through initiatives like the Network Sustainability Mechanism and Crosslink upgrades.
