ZEC has recently caused quite a stir. The entire ECC development team has resigned, and the CEO publicly accused the upper management Bootstrap of deviating from the project's mission, even using terms like "de facto dismissal." After the news broke, community discussions erupted, but the most interesting part is — the price of the coin surprisingly did not hit the limit down and is still oscillating. Is this the calm before the storm, or have the negative factors already been fully released?

From the event itself, this is definitely a "personnel earthquake." The original team announced they would start anew and continue working on the privacy coin project. It sounds a bit uncertain, but the official statement also clarified that this does not involve the protocol itself, and the technical framework remains unaffected.

In the short term, team split is definitely a bad signal. Development progress may be delayed, and community confidence could also take a hit. But looking at the long term, if the new team can operate stably and continue pushing technological updates, the fundamentals of ZEC are not necessarily on the brink of collapse. The core issue still depends on whether these people can be trusted — whether they can truly deliver results.
