Hey everyone, Arsenii from Chain.Love here.
As promised back in February we’ve built the Zcash infrastructure toolbox and it’s live at https://zcash.chain.love/
I want to highlight 3 things that make this different from the existing Zcash ecosystem page or ZecHub:
1. Side-by-side comparison. Instead of a flat list of links where you have to visit each provider’s site to understand what they offer, the toolbox lets you compare providers within any category — pricing, features, limits, supported APIs — all structured and normalized in one UI/API/MCP. (Select a couple of providers → press “Compare” button)
2. Open-source, community-maintained data. Everything is backed by our open-source database on GitHub. Anyone in the Zcash community can submit a PR to add a provider, update outdated info, or flag inaccuracies — both via GitHub or directly via UI at zcash.chain.love/contributor. This directly addresses the maintenance concern @artkor raised - the data doesn’t depend on us alone to stay fresh.
3. AI-powered search. Builders can ask human-readable questions and get instant answers based on structured data. To try it, click the “Ask GPT” button. It uses our open-source GitHub database under the hood, so the answers reflect what’s actually available in the Zcash ecosystem right now.
We’re maintaining this for free and plan to keep doing so.
If there’s interest from the community, we can add:
-
Reliability layer — automated load balancing and failover across Zcash RPCs, indexers, and other API-based services, so dApps don’t go down when a single provider does
-
Agent-ready infrastructure — make Zcash service providers discoverable and payable by AI agents, moving infrastructure spending from off-chain to on-chain
But before going further, we’d genuinely like to hear from the community and reviewers. Any feedback — positive, negative, or “this is pointless” is appreciated.
@artkor @GGuy @hanh @zerodartz @decentralistdan — tagging you since you gave thoughtful feedback on the original application.
