Shielded Labs CEO Jason McGee posted that Zcash governance relies on a rough consensus formed by token holders, community groups, and other parties. Token holder polls are only used to gauge opinions and are not binding on-chain votes. No single group can independently drive protocol changes. The post mentioned that the latest token holder poll saw participation exceeding 2.3 million ZEC. Regarding when funds removed from circulation under the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM) should be reissued, community groups advocated for immediate action, while token holders preferred February 2031. Ultimately, five protocol development organizations agreed to adopt the latter. Shielded Labs called on other development organizations to publicly recognize the governance principles of multi-party participation, promote miner involvement, and improve token holder polling tools. https://(wublock123.com)/news/shielded-labs-zcash-holders-votes-non-binding-no-single-group-control-governance-68641
