Who am I?
|
||||||
|
---------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My name is Matt Luongo. I'm an entrepreneur who's been full-time in the crypto
|
||||||
|
space since 2014, co-founding Fold, a Bitcoin payments company, and more
|
||||||
|
recently Keep, a private computation startup built on Ethereum. I've built some
|
||||||
|
`around Zcash <https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/2129>`_, and we've
|
||||||
|
considered investing more heavily in Zcash development on our latest project.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'm deeply interested in privacy tech. For me, privacy is about consent --
|
||||||
|
consent to know my habits, beliefs, and preferences -- and I see privacy as
|
||||||
|
the next frontier in our pursuit of an economy that respects individual choice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My perspective is as the founder of a for-profit company focused on building
|
||||||
|
self-sovereign technologyi who would like to develop on Zcash. We work in this
|
||||||
|
space ideologically, but our work isn't free; attracting and growing talent
|
||||||
|
requires funding.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're interested in more on my background, I've introduced myself more
|
||||||
|
`properly on the forum
|
||||||
|
<https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/introducing-matt-luongo-from-keep/34947>`_.

What's this about?
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since Zcon1, I've been looking to fund work to build an Ethereum / Zcash bridge.
|
||||||
|
I've spoken to the ECC, the Zcash Foundation, and a number of early Zcash
|
||||||
|
community members on how best to move forward with this project, and in the
|
||||||
|
process I've learned a lot about how the community works and dev governance has
|
||||||
|
been structured thus far.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Inevitably, I've become interested in the community's proposals for a new dev
|
||||||
|
fee, and thought about how the right structure might support work like ours.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I believe the Zcash community has an opportunity to deploy a new incentive
|
||||||
|
structure that will attract companies like ours to build and improve Zcash,
|
||||||
|
leading to a more resilient network, stronger technology, and wider usage.
