Draft ZIP: Dev Fund Soft Landing

Dev Fund Soft Landing This is a minimal successor to ZIP 1016. It keeps the existing governance, voting, multisig, veto, and disbursement rules exactly as they are today, and only reduces the percentages of the two funding streams over time. Goal Provide a simple, predictable reduction in protocol-defined funding so the current system can continue to function at lower intake levels, with a clear end date. Proposed schedule Period Approx. dates ZCG Coinholder Fund Total Miner Until 3rd halving Now → ~Nov 2028 8% 12% 20% 80% 3rd → 4th halving ~Nov 2028 → ~Nov 2032 4% 6% 10% 90% 4th → 5th halving ~Nov 2032 → ~Nov 2036 2% 3% 5% 95% After 5th halving ~Nov 2036 onward 0% 0% 0% 100% (Heights are the actual third-, fourth-, and fifth-halving heights, including the NU7 spacing adjustment. Dates are estimates only.) What stays the same ZCG rules and process Coinholder-Controlled Fund mechanics (ZIP 271) Quarterly voting, 420k ZEC threshold, simple majority Multisig, Key-Holder obligations, and veto process Ability to leave funds at rest What changes Only the funding-stream percentages step down at the known halving heights. The 2:3 ratio between ZCG and the Coinholder fund is preserved. Bene
