Anyone can write a ZIP! We encourage community contributions and decentralization
of work on the Zcash protocol. If you’ d like to bounce ideas off people before formally
writing a ZIP, we encourage it! Visit the community
`Discord <https://discord.com/invite/PXHqXV2> `__ channel to talk about your idea.
