Hello fellow Zebras! Another week, another update on Zcashd deprecation! ### Outreach (@pili @decentralistdan @pacu): - Status: on track We are following up on tier 1 contacts and starting to reach out to block explorers to get a list of RPC requirements in terms of existing RPC methods they use and points of improvement. ### Zaino - status: on track Deliverable 1.1 is complete and 1.2 has been started! wohoooo!!! kudos to @idky137 and the rest of Zingo Labs! Also they started work on the testing framework required for comparing functionality between lightwalletd-zaino and zcashd-zebra and also they are brewing the changes required for using zebra as zainos backend ### In-Memory backend wrap up - Status: On track As you might have read in this [forum post](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-browser-wallet-library/47897/24) WebZ.js is almost ready and ChainSafe is working with ZCG on a grant extension to contribute upstream to librustzcash in a way that’s fruitful for both ends. As you can appreciate below, crossing out these tasks clears a path of the DAG that is super important to our Goal ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/f/b/fb2df8e2e1584ba50407ab474b0f941d0273af4d.jpeg) ### Zcashd deprecation RPC analysis - no changes There are some outstanding questions on how to proceed on already deprecated methods on Zcashd that are being revealed to be highly used by current users. ### Others I was blocked on some tasks so [I grabbed a task from the DAG](https://github.com/zcash/librustzcash/pull/1570) which is in review. Thanks Daria-Emma for your thorough feedback [Action items] - If you have ideas, please post them below! - If you run Zcash infrastructure and have input about this, reach out! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-z3-updates-formerly-zcashd-deprecation/48965)._
