Supply and emission
Zcash caps supply at 21 million ZEC and matches Bitcoin's halving-based issuance. ZIP 1015 directs 12% of the block subsidy to an in-protocol lockbox and 8% to the Financial Privacy Foundation for the Zcash Community Grants Committee, running from mainnet block 2,726,400 to block 3,146,400 after the November 2024 halving. Those streams are bounded by block height rather than calendar date, so no dated unlock rows can be derived.
