Zcash Z3 updates (formerly Zcashd Deprecation)

Ecosystem Updates
107

September 19th

Hello! You might have noticed there was no update last week. Not because there weren’t things to tell but because there was no writer appointed! I took some time off to fully disconnect from work and studies. But here I am! Back at it!

Outreach

Status: Resumed :white_check_mark:
We are still collecting responses for the NU friction survey. @aquietinvestor shared some preliminary insights on this NU acceleration post. Zallet Alpha outreach will start whenever ECC folks signal it.

Zebra

If you missed the last Arborist Call Alfredo filled us in on the many things the Zebra team is doing. RPC method tweak and development is progressing and also receiving very welcomed external contributions! The RPC Test framework keeps progressing thanks to Alfredo and Gustavo is continuing to refactor CI.

Zaino (ZingoLabs)

  • Status: in progress

Project Board

Zingoistas are all hands on deck on their Zallet Release work which is described in detail on this post by @zancas. In a nutshell there’s a chunk of work needed to iron out the integration between Zallet and Zaino, as well as documentation and use cases to support light clients in order to sunset lightwalletd. Please check the project board linked above to appreciate the amount of effort ZingoLabs is putting into progress visibility

Zallet full node wallet

  • Status: Alpha Released :white_check_mark:

tracking work on this repository.

Zallet v0.1.0-alpha.1 released!! Congratulations to @str4d @nuttycom @schell @Yass and @daira for this huge milestone!

For anyone interested in diving into it, The Zallet Book is the go to reference.

Block Explorer Support

  • Status: Testing

Zingo folks continue to work on RPC support. Given that integration issues take precedence over this work it’s going a bit slower than expected.

Thanks for reading!
