Zcash Z3 updates (formerly Zcashd Deprecation)

January 30th

Outreach

Status: Paused :white_check_mark:

We wrapped up the Zcashd EOS outreach successfully. Awaiting for Zallet Alpha 4 to be released to resume any outreach efforts.

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 folks are wrapping up the passthrough feature which lets Zaino delegate calls to the underlying node when it’s falling behind or syncing which makes launch scenarios more resilient. This is part of the chain_index work which will soon land on the main development branch of the codebase. Zaino’s light-client v0.4.0 feature has been merged to dev leaving it on feature parity with lightwalletd. Pacu will meet with Zingoistas to discuss other collaboration opportunities on Zaino.

Zallet full node wallet

  • Status: new alpha incoming! :white_check_mark:

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

ZnewCo devs were highly focused on ZIP specification this past days and are now resuming work on Zcashd deprecation and we should expect a new Alpha soon.

For those interested in collaborating, 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 rpc: Add `z_converttex` RPC endpoint. · Issue #327 · zcash/wallet · GitHub

Block Explorer Support

  • Status: Paused

Tracking: Zaino Continuation · GitHub

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.
