Dear Zcash… You turned 10 on October 28. I've known you for less than two months. Before September, you were a ticker to me. Then I travelled from Togo to Nigeria for the Zcash Privacy Developers Residency (@zoerdhub x @ZcashGH), then to Accra for Privacy Meets Payments & Builders Hub. I learned. I built. I broke things. I built again. Somewhere along the way, you stopped being something I study and became something I build with. Respect where it's due: ten years of shipping while nobody was clapping. Sprout in 2016. Sapling in 2018, which made shielded payments practical on phones. Orchard and Halo 2 in 2022, which removed the trusted setup. You didn't wait for the narrative. Now the part a friend says out loud. You hid the money so well… you hid the builders too. If Africa is your blind spot, French-speaking Africa is the blind spot inside the blind spot. I'm building Private Bill: ZEC to local money (CFA, Naira, Cedi) without losing privacy on the way. Because today, the moment ZEC has to become CFA, Naira or Cedi, privacy too often stops at the door. Private money I can't spend is still just a beautiful idea. A few weeks ago I posted my shielded address and asked for support. Nobody on Earth can see what it received. Except me. So here's my viewing key: 0 ZEC. Not a complaint. A data point. The likes came. The reposts came. The backing didn't. I kept building anyway. But at 10, you're old enough to notice who is building on zero. My birthday wishes for you: → Shield the money. Never the builders. → Make private money spendable money. → Don't just repost. Back them. → And speak our languages. That's why this letter is in English, French and Eʋegbe. Happy 10th, Zcash. I've been in your story for less than two months. I plan to be here for the next ten. Privacy is normal. 🛡️ from Lomé, Togo 🇹🇬 @Zec_Forge @Zcash @ZcashFoundation @ZecHub

On Oct 28, 2016, Zcash was born. 🎂 10 years of turning world-class cryptography into money you can actually use because privacy isn't about hiding. It's safety, freedom and dignity. For me, this is more than a birthday. It's a reminder of why we build, why we keep learning, and why privacy deserves a place in our digital future. Happy 10th birthday, @Zcash! The journey continues. Keep building. Stay shielded. #ZcashBirthday #ZcashEastAfrica @ZcashFoundation @ZecHub @ZcashEastAfrica
