ZEC is currently facing a serious governance crisis. The collective resignation of the core development team has directly impacted the project's technical maintenance capabilities—this is a fatal blow for a project known for its privacy technology.

The codebase maintenance has come to a halt, and the ecological foundation is shaking as a result. While the open-source community may see new maintainers emerge, this will take time. In the short term, a disruption in technological iteration and a decline in holder confidence are almost inevitable outcomes. Market reactions are also straightforward—obvious selling pressure, with significant price corrections.

For holders, don't expect any reversal in the current phase. The real task is to calmly assess whether ZEC can complete a self-restructuring amid this crisis. Until a new governance framework and technical roadmap are officially released, market sentiment will remain cautious. Even if there is a rebound, it is likely to be suppressed by heavy selling pressure.

From a technical perspective, ZEC is currently priced at 423.0 USDT, with resistance levels at the 484.66-486.36 range. But the focus at this stage is clearly not on a technical rebound, but on whether the project can demonstrate its resilience.

Looking at this ZEC situation, honestly, it's a dead end. Once the core team withdraws, it all gets exposed. Alright, alright. Instead of obsessing over the technical point at 484, it's better to see if the project can survive and come out alive. This really hurts people's hearts. Privacy coins are already sensitive, and now there's a governance crisis. What are the holders thinking? Wait, isn't it that the community should have taken over long ago? Why are they panicking now? ZEC needs to prove itself quickly, or it will truly become a relic of history. I think we shouldn't mess around in the short term. Staying calm and observing is the smart move.

The core team collectively ran away, this is outrageous... ZEC is going to fail. Wait, can the open-source community save the day? It seems very difficult. ZEC holders must be feeling really frustrated now, I wouldn't dare to touch it. Reorganization? First, gather the team, this pit is a bit deep. The price of 423 doesn't seem cheap, but I think it will go down further.

ZEC this time is really a bit tragic, the core team ran away together and directly drained the project. The team is gone, the code is no longer maintained, and what can we expect from a privacy coin... Let's wait for the new governance framework. Short-term rebound? Dream on, with such heavy selling pressure. This time, it's all about whether ZEC can rise from the ashes, or it will really be finished.

zec really messed up this time, with the core team fleeing en masse and all... But to be honest, the privacy coin sector was already hammered by regulations, and now there's a suicidal resignation—what hope is there? I find the 423 price level really uncomfortable; those trying to buy the dip are going to eat dirt.

The core team has run away, how do you play now? If no one maintains privacy coins, how can they still be called privacy coins? This wave of ZEC really hurt, it might be hopeless in the short term. The code no longer being updated is terrifying; open-source communities need time to fill in the gaps. Everyone is dumping, who dares to buy the dip... Let's wait for the new governance framework; entering now just means taking on the risk. If the 484 resistance can't be broken through, there's no point in watching; first, see if the project can save itself. When the team runs away, confidence is more important than technical aspects.

Another "core team跑路" script... ZEC really needs to prove itself this time, or it will become a joke among privacy coins.

ZEC this time really hit rock bottom, the core team all ran away, is this the ceiling for privacy coins? Retail investors are still waiting for a rebound, but I see it as very uncertain... With such heavy selling pressure, how can it stop falling unless the new team can come up with something. The position at 484 is dead, it can't break through. The real damaging issue is the stagnation in code maintenance; if the money is gone, you can still make a profit, but if the technology is gone, it's truly over. I'm a bit regretful for not clearing out earlier... Governance has collapsed; no matter how good the privacy features are, it's all in vain.

The core team running away is indeed a fatal issue... Privacy coins are fundamentally about technology speaking for themselves. This wave of ZEC might need to stay dormant for a while; don't expect a turnaround in the short term. Code updates halted? That's truly deadly for privacy projects. Let's wait and see the new governance framework, otherwise it's just gambling. Everyone has dispersed; who will maintain this thing... It's a bit uncertain. It's still too early to buy the dip; we need to see if they can get back on their feet.

The core development team has left, and the codebase is starting to rust. This is the real crisis. Wait, is there still anyone guarding ZEC... Another story of "the open-source community will save us," I've heard it too many times. If 423 can't hold on, 484 is just a pipe dream. Rather than focusing on the technical side, it's better to bet on whether it can survive.

Wow, the development team all ran away? What's the point of privacy coins now, this is outrageous. Wait, are they really not fixing the code anymore? This wave of ZEC really hurts, don't expect to turn things around in the short term. Can the open-source community save the day, or is this just another abandoned project? Can the price of 423 really hold... feeling a bit anxious. If it drops further, I need to consider whether to cut losses or hold on. The governance layer is completely broken, even the best technology is useless now.
