Did you notice that $ZEC surpassed $SOL today? All eyes on Zcash! Another week, another Z3 development update!
Let’s go with the updates.
Outreach
Status: Resumed 
We have started reaching out to some exchanges about the Zcashd 6.10.0 release and we are waiting for Zebra 3 to be out to do a 2-in-1 outreach where we invite Zcashd clients to start looking at Zebra and Z3.
Zebra
Zebra folks are preparing the Zebra 3.0.0 release which includes NU 6.1 plus many other fixes. This is likely to happen between today and Tuesday
Also Gustavo has been working a lot in the Z3 infra repository which can be found here GitHub - ZcashFoundation/z3: Repository to iterate on the grand unification of Zebra, Zaino and Zallet
Zebra folks are wrapping up shielded coinbase which will help Zaino testing time to be lowered considerably and they are waiting their code to be added to librustzcash add(zcash_primitives): Support constructing coinbase transactions
Zaino (ZingoLabs)
- Status: in progress
Zaino tooling is getting overhauled everywhere, while block explorer support RPCs are being crossed off our list very quickly! I expect we will have further news from the Zingo team in terms of milestone announcements soon!
Zallet full node wallet
- Status: Alpha Released
tracking work on this repository.
With NU 6.1 released for Zcashd, Zallet work resumes and RPC auth is in the works other things have been complete like Fix JSON-RPC error responses
Zallet Alpha continues! The Maya team has started looking at it and we are awaiting their feedback.
For anyone interested in diving into it, The Zallet Book is the go to reference.
Block Explorer Support
- Status: Testing
Tracking: Zaino Continuation · GitHub
Only two methods are in our TODO list! Great lift from @dorianvp and @aaal!
Thanks for reading!
