Zcash at risk: Buterin warns about token-based governance
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, expressed his concern about the possible adoption of a token-based governance system by Zcash (ZEC), arguing that this could erode the fundamental privacy values of the cryptocurrency. Buterin believes that token voting is flawed and could prioritize the interests of large holders over long-term privacy goals.

Risks of token voting:

- Concentration of power: Large token holders could dominate governance decisions, marginalizing minority participants.
- Short-term incentives: Token holders could prioritize immediate financial gains over privacy protection.
- Erosion of privacy: Token-based governance could lead to decisions that compromise Zcash's privacy features.

Buterin suggests that Zcash should resist the adoption of a token-based governance system and instead explore alternatives such as proof-of-stake voting or quadratic voting.

The Zcash community has been debating governance and the possible adoption of a token voting system, with some arguing that this could enhance efficiency and participation, while others fear it could compromise privacy and decentralization.
