Zebra

Project Roadmap board
Priority board

The Zebra team has been collaborating with Zaino folks and there’s a very positive synergy that came out as a result of the Dev Summit. Please give a virtual round of applause to the Zcash Foundation Team for organizing this event!.

In three days a new sprint will start that has a bunch of work that will feel more like a marathon! I want to personally thank @pili for prioritizing work needed for Zaino and Block explorer support.

As you may have seen in the forums, I created a ZIP draft according to the ZIP process to address this undefinition problem we’ve faced.
