Zcash Z3 updates (formerly Zcashd Deprecation)

Ecosystem Updates
120

November 7th

Hello! What a Week huh?

Outreach

Status: Resumed :white_check_mark:

We doubled down on remembering people to update their Zcashd nodes before November 23rd and we started contacting wallet operators so they update their consensus branch ID before then as well.

Zebra

No other is better to tell you what the ZF engineering team has been up to then themselves. Please check ZF’s engineering update here. Highlights related to this topic are Shielded Coinbase and Regtest feature fixes that will accelerate Zaino’s testing tooling to run faster. Also build times of Zebra have been shortened a lot which is very much appreciated.

Zaino (ZingoLabs)

  • Status: in progress

Project Board

Zingo is testing Zebra 3 integration and wrapping up the chain index work to unblock some areas of Zallet development. I’m helping out in the Lightwalletd deprecation work and working with Larry from ECC to reach parity with LWD on transparent data addition to the light client protocol

Zallet full node wallet

  • Status: Alpha Released :white_check_mark:

tracking work on this repository.

Collaborators Unite! We are putting together this board so ecosystem devs know what’s ready to be worked and can collaborate on building Zallet. If you want to contribute to Zallet just pick the github issue you like the most and get hacking, that’s it! Advice: look for the ones labeled as “good first issue” if you are new to the ecosystem.

Also, to my good surprise the StageX team is working on reproducible builds for Zallet and Zaino. This is super important for consistent runs of our software and debugging possible issues along the way.

Block Explorer Support

  • Status: Testing

Tracking: https://github.com/orgs/zingolabs/projects/15

There is only ONE RPC LEFT 1.14: Add Zcash RPC gettxoutsetinfo

It turns out that these two were not being tracked on the board. Sorry about that!

In review:

Done
