Outreach

Status: In progress :white_check_mark:
We wrapped up the Zcashd EOS outreach successfully.

Zebra

The ZF team has published a new Zebra major version. This includes new DNS seeders among other improvements in configuration files handling and mempool checks enhancement.

Zaino (ZingoLabs)

  • Status: in progress

Project Board

Zaino is wrapping up their “Zallet, the release” grant and prioritizing contributions and tasks that will lead them to that milestone completion.. On my side, lightclient-protocol v0.4.0 is being reviewed by Zaino engineers.

Zallet full node wallet

  • Status: new alpha incoming! :white_check_mark:

tracking work on this repository and collaboration opportunities tracked on this board.

Team is working on z_send_from_account which will replace z_sendmany and also implementing z_shieldcoinbase which is currently being a blocker for the RPC testing framework development Alfredo (oxarbitrage) from ZF is doing.

As I told you on my last update, we groomed Zallet’s issues and added “Z-contributors-wanted“, “E-good-first-issue” and “E-help-wanted” to all the issues that are ready to be worked on and that we expect community collaborations for. For example https://github.com/zcash/wallet/issues/327

Block Explorer Support

  • Status: Paused

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

This has been paused in order to wrap up chain_state work first. Otherwise these RPCs will have to be reworked with the new chain_state changes.
