Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn

Bankless Nation, we are joined by Zuko, the creator of Zcash and the former CEO of the Electric Coin Company.

That's the foundation behind Zcash.

Zuko, welcome back to Bankless.

Thanks.

Good to be back.

Suka, you've been here for well over a decade in this crypto industry, building Zcash for 13 plus years.

Has the crypto movement, have we achieved our goals in 2026?

We've been around for a while.

Have we succeeded?
