The Zcash Community Grant Committee (ZCG) has announced that it has decided not to proceed with the proposal put forward on October 29, which aimed to allocate approximately 98,000 ZEC as future mining rewards. The committee stated that subsequent funding arrangements should be determined through Zcash's existing governance processes. ZCG currently automatically receives 8% of newly issued ZEC, amounting to about 144 coins per day, and the treasury size is sufficient to support expenditures for many years, although its funding model and accountability have recently sparked controversy within the community.According to the original proposal, the committee intended to allocate 36,200 ZEC from its treasury of approximately 91,500 ZEC to inject into a sustainable network mechanism to supplement miner block rewards, thereby reducing the expected income until the halving in 2028. Co-founder Sean Bowe, founder Zooko Wilcox, and developer Daira-Emma Hopwood have proposed various alternatives, such as terminating automatic grants, restructuring the use of funds, or focusing on promoting the use of ZEC, but none have been approved yet. Until the network upgrade changes the rules, ZCG will continue to receive approximately 144 ZEC daily.

The current development fund model of Zcash (ZIP-1016) was proposed by joshs on the Zcash community forum, suggesting to terminate the Zcash development fund early before its scheduled expiration in November 2028.Currently, the development fund accounts for 20% of each block reward, with 12% going to the Coinholder Fund, which is distributed through retrospective funding voted on by coin holders every quarter; 8% goes to the Zcash Community Grant Committee (ZCG), composed of 5 elected community members. The total value of these two funds exceeds 300 million dollars.According to current rules, after the development fund expires, the entire block reward will belong to the miners. This proposal is a response to another proposal to "cancel the ZCG and retain the Coinholder Fund," which the poster believes is merely a compromise. The proposal is currently in the community discussion phase and has not yet entered the voting process.

Ethena Pay has begun rolling out the Earn+ feature, which claims that the dollar balance can earn a target annual reward of up to 12%. Initially, it is open to Pro and VIP users, with plans to expand to all users in the coming days. This feature will transfer funds from the main payment balance to an external Upshift vault, where Steakhouse Financial will execute a leveraged USDe strategy on Aave, aiming for a yield higher than the app's existing maximum tiered reward of 6%.According to documents released by Ethena Pay, the vault targets approximately 11 times leverage on Aave v4 on Avalanche, packaging repeated borrowing and reinvestment into a one-click deposit. The specific path involves depositing USDe as collateral, borrowing USDT, and then using the borrowed tokens to purchase more USDe in a loop, with returns depending on whether the USDe rewards can cover the USDT borrowing costs. Ethena Pay states that it only provides the interface and does not guarantee the assets, and users must bear the risk of vault losses, which may result in losing part or all of their invested funds.Ethena Pay claims that the simplified interface does not eliminate liquidation risk; when collateral is insufficient to cover debts, positions will face liquidation, with liquidators repaying debts and taking collateral and rewards. The 12% is only a target and not a guaranteed return, rates may be adjusted downwards, and Earn+ balances do not enjoy the Daily Boost of the main account. This product has no lock-up period, no fees for deposits or withdrawals, and withdrawals are processed to the main dollar account within 24 hours but may be delayed, and are not considered insured bank deposits. The initial total capacity limit for the vault is $4.5 million, with individual limits of $50,000 and $200,000 for Pro and VIP users, respectively, and $20,000 for Standard users.

The French Ministry of Finance, the Financial Markets Authority (AMF), the French Central Bank, and the Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) jointly suggested to the European Commission to allow third parties, such as crypto platforms, to offer rewards to stablecoin holders under specific conditions. The four institutions believe that such rewards should be regulated rather than outright prohibited.The four institutions proposed that platforms should disclose reward information to holders, must not promise guaranteed returns, and should not promote rewards as savings products; regulators should also monitor the impact of rewards on bank deposits. The French side still supports banning stablecoin issuers from paying interest but opposes extending the ban to staking and lending activities. The European Central Bank and the central banks of EU countries advocate maintaining the ban on interest for stablecoins and including indirect benefits such as rewards and fee waivers, as well as lending and staking activities within the scope of restrictions.The European Commission must submit a review report on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) to the EU legislative bodies by June 30, 2027, and may propose amendments.

On October 19, the team from the fully homomorphic encryption company Zama announced that users participating in the incentive distribution platform Merkl on the Zama confidential vault can now directly receive cZAMA rewards in the Zama app. The rewards are settled through confidential transfers, and both the positions and the reward amounts remain confidential from deposit to distribution.In September 2026, Zama launched confidential access to 16 selected vaults on the lending protocol Morpho and initiated the first batch of confidential incentives with Merkl, where rewards are calculated based on encrypted balances. When depositing into eligible vaults, users can activate additional incentive options, granting viewing permissions for Merkl to read encrypted balances to calculate rewards without disclosing personal positions. This permission is enabled by default on the deposit interface, and deposits not shared with Merkl do not qualify for incentives.Confidential vaults accumulate based on the user's confidential vault shares and can be claimed during the ongoing activity; existing public vaults with confidential access have rewards collectively obtained by the vault packaging contracts, which are distributed after the activity ends. Zama recommends claiming confidential activities at the end to reduce multiple on-chain fees. Taking the Flowdesk Confidential High Yield USDT vault on Morpho as an example, the related activity ended on October 12, and eligible depositors can now claim their rewards. Users need to check their earnings in Merkl using their wallet and complete the claim in the Zama app by connecting the same wallet; the amount received will not be publicly disclosed on-chain.
