Hello fellow Zebras! Another week, another update on Zcashd deprecation!
Outreach (@pili @decentralistdan @pacu):
- Status: on track
We continue to follow-up with tier 1 contacts and getting data on their usage of existing Zcashd APIs. Also, we are talking with NEW partners that want to support Zcash to incorporate new use cases that we don’t know of. We are in conversations with important infrastructure player of the Avalanche Ecosystem to know what we need to get Zcash accessible in Avalanche block explorers. I also connected with a chain metrics provider that will help us have a better API for having better metrics when it comes to TPS, Blocktime, TX Volume and others. This kind of metrics are used by service providers like exchanges to forecast their operations.

- status: on track
Zingo folks keep progressing on their planned milestones This PR is landing work to wrap up 66% to milestone 1.3
We are currently working collectively between ZF, ECC and Zingo devs to decide where some RPCs belong (Zebra or Zaino) depending on their scope, use and latency requirements.
In-Memory backend wrap up
- status: on track
ChainSafe and ECC engineers are still collaborating to get their contributions upstream with support of ZCG.
Zcashd Wallet replacement
- ECC implemented change splitting Note Management
- ECC and Keystore are working on partially constructed Zcash Transactions which will decouple transaction building from decoupling for HW, FROST and other kind of Organizational Wallets (e.g.: exchanges)
- [#1411] Refactor AccountBalance to use Balance for transparent funds is in review.
