Zcashd Deprecation updates

This Report corresponds to progress up to November 1st.

Hello fellow Zebras! Another week, another update on Zcashd deprecation!

Outreach (@pili @decentralistdan @pacu):

  • Status: on track

We continue to contact, nudge and follow up with organizations and companies running Zcashd nodes.

Zaino (ZingoLabs)

  • status: on track

  • Deliverable 1.3: Code has now landed in Zaino, there is a PR in zebra that needs to land, they have reviewed it and are currently fixing an issue with their CI and will merge once they have sorted it.

  • Deliverable 1.4: About to be completed. Zingo engineers have realised that there is reason for them to integrate zebra regtest mode into their test framework now (this was originally going to be completed in milestone 2). Oscar is working on this now, this is the last work required for this deliverable.

  • Deliverable 1.5: In progress. Around 50% of all the gRPC services of this deliverable are implemented.

  • Deliverables 1.3, 1.6: There is still an ongoing conversation with @nuttycom about a couple of the Services that Zingo wanted to deprecate. They are close to obtain necessary input to finalize Deprecation plans for 1.3 and once that happens 1.6 can be finished.

In-Memory backend wrap up

  • status: on track

ChainSafe and ECC engineers are still collaborating to get their contributions upstream with support of ZCG.
