đ BIG DEVELOPMENT: There Are Two Independent $Zcash Full Nodes!
That's great news for privacy technologies.
Once zcashd is put on End-of-Support halt on July 18, 2026, at block 3,417,100, Zcash is officially entering a decentralized era with TWO independent nodes: Zebra + Zakura.
The Evolution:
â Zebra â A clean-sheet implementation built by the Zcash Foundation in Rust. Memory-safe, modular, separation of wallet from consensus. An independent client now ready for production.
â Zakura â Launched July 2026 by Valar Group + Project Tachyon. A fork of Zebra but with a different approach and priorities. Community-driven.
Why Is This Important?
đĄïž No single client dependency â as Bitcoin has both Core and Knots, now Zcash has client diversity. A flaw in one won't kill the network.
đĄïž Improved resiliency and decentralization â key for a privacy coin.
đĄïž More censorship resistance â THORChain nodes have started scanning the Zcash blockchain for native $ZEC integration (September 30).
đĄïž Proven security â both clients were patched with 4 critical vulnerabilities in April 2026 in 13 days, without any losses.
zcashd (2016-2026) did its job. Now ZEC is HTTPS for money, but with modern infrastructure.
Privacy season back? $ZEC holders, this is your signal.
Are you bullish on privacy coins again? đ
