Outreach

Status: In progress :white_check_mark:

NU 6.1 outreach came to an end… Let the NU 6.1 retrospective survey begin!!! We have a commitment with continuous improvement of the Zcash Developer Experience. For that we are reaching out to our partners to let them tell us what went good, what went wrong and how we can make things better for them. I published the results of the NU friction survey that was carried out Q3 2025.

ZF did a lot of work around Zebra and released two consecutive versions around NU 6.1. They tell you more about it in their ZF engineering update.
