[Zcash Foundation Statement: Network Decentralized Operations Unaffected]
The Zcash Foundation has issued a statement regarding the news of the Electric Coin Company (ECC) team establishing a new Zcash company, reiterating that Zcash is a decentralized, open-source protocol not controlled by any single team or organization. The foundation stated that independent nodes worldwide maintain the network's operation, and the missions of protocol development, research funding, infrastructure, and decentralized governance will continue to advance. The foundation emphasized that organizational changes will not affect the operation of the Zcash mainnet, with block production and transaction processing functioning normally, ensuring the safety of user assets and privacy.
