Outreach

Status: resumed :white_check_mark:

We started pinging exchanges to get some metrics that will help us create a realistic workload test for Zallet. Still not much traction but we continue to ping people

Zebra

The Zebra team is on fire. They released v4.2.0, extended RPC functionality, improved mempool policies to match Zcashd behavior, did a bunch of very important fixes requested by other teams, integrated their repo with the integration-test repo so that these test are triggered every time there’s a new change in Zebra’s main branch, continued work on shielded coinbase and also worked on flyclient support and NSM.

Zaino (ZingoLabs)

  • Status: next release 0.2.0

Project Board

Zingo folks polished their release candidate and it’s closer to release. The latest code is significantly faster than RC2, and is reaching a releasable state. Zingoistas also fixed various things that were a headache for Zallet integration and also added support for Zebra 4.1 and 4.2

  • Status: working towards alpha.4

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

Zallet folks finished the integration-test repository setup for the whole Z3 stack, worked on NU7 specification with other teams, continued work on shielded coinbase on Zallet and fully transparent transaction support in zcash_client_backend. Also there’s a special request for the community to read [ZIP 316] Propose Revision 2 and withdraw Revision 1 and provide feedback

  • Status: Coming soon!

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.
