🔥 Bhopal showed up MASSIVE! 216+ Attendees. Packed sessions. Unreal energy.🦓 Students locked in, learning about Zcash, privacy, and the real future of financial freedom 🛡️ This is what building looks like. India isn’t just rising, it’s accelerating. 🇮🇳🚀 @Zcash @ZecHub @ZcashIND

Contributing to @ZecHub taught me something. Building privacy-first applications is hard. Managing contributors and treasury operations seems harder. For the ZecHub Hackathon, I decided to tackle both. Meet ZBooks. 🧵

Excited to participate in the #ZcashINDBounty#! I created an educational video in Hindi explaining: What is Zcash? Why Financial Privacy Matters Thank you to @ZecHub, @ZcashIND, and @Zcash for organizing this initiative! #Zcash# #FinancialPrivacy# #Blockchain# #CryptoEducation# #Hindi#

Gleyo, Post Hackathon Update 🚀 It's been a few days since sharing Gleyo during the @ZecHub Hackathon. Since posting on July 14, Gleyo has reached 33 weekly active users, completing quests, earning shielded ZEC rewards, and testing nearly every part of the platform. Two things I shipped this week: Queued withdrawals. Withdrawals now process safely in sequence instead of one at a time platform-wide, essential for Gleyo to scale to more communities running simultaneously without overwhelming @NozyWallet. Multi-token off-ramp. Inspired by @zksquirrel, communities can now fund campaigns with USDT/USDC instead of ZEC upfront. Gleyo auto-settles it into shielded ZEC behind the scenes, lowering the barrier to get started without moving away from ZEC. My goal has never been just another community platform. I want @Zcash communities, Web3 projects, and even Web2 organizations to grow through better onboarding and retention, while making Zcash feel almost invisible to newcomers. People join, contribute, earn rewards, and experience private digital money, discovering Zcash's benefits by using it, not by studying it first. Thanks to @dismad for encouraging me to share Gleyo publicly. The feedback since then has made this project significantly better. Repo and all changes are public: Still building. 🚀

I built zecledger, an open source tool for bookkeeping on shielded transactions @Zcash for the @ZecHub hackathon Repo: Latest Release: Open to contributors, advice, comments and observations. More updates will be rolling out.
