Outreach

Status: resumed :white_check_mark:

We continue with the Zcashd wallet usage metrics outreach. Meanwhile ZF is communicating partners to adopt Zebra 4.3.0 which has important security and performance updates and we are preparing Zcashd’s next EOS update outreach for the version that will be out in the coming weeks.

Zebra

The Zcash Foundation team just released v4.3.0 and is contacting partners to speed up adoption of this version as it was anticipated in their Engineering Update. Zebra folks are also collaborating with Zallet development.

Zaino (ZingoLabs)

  • Status: released 0.2.0

Project Board

Zingo folks released Zainod 0.2.0! This partially unblocks Zallet folks which are quickly adopting it and reporting bugs and requesting enhancements. Zingoistas are preparing a follow-up release that will include support for Zebra 4.3.0. Zallet folks also helped Zingo be integrated into the integrations-tests repository. Now each contribution landing into the dev branch of Zaino will be ran against the integration tests.

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.
