The Zcash community funded Arti. This was as a good thing. Unfortunately because of dev resources currently being prioritized on Zcashd depreciation we wont be able to implement it right away.
Does it bother anyone that Monero devs have a real chance of using Arti before Zcash?
Cuprate (experimental Rust node for Monero) has not implemented Arti yet but they are working on it.
We paid for Arti to be developed and have far more monetary resources than Monero (donation model). It’s a shame if they activate it on Cuprate before we can activate in on Zebra.
