Zcash has introduced a new full node client called Zakura, according to ChainCatcher. The software is maintained by a team that operates independently of the Zcash Foundation and is released as a trimmed, fast-sync branch of Zebra. It also remains compatible with the legacy zcashd client, which is approaching the end of its lifecycle.
The release is part of Zcash’s broader scaling effort. Alongside Project Tachyon and research into private information retrieval, Zakura is intended to help raise network throughput by reducing the amount of data required for verification and removing wallet performance bottlenecks. The stated target is to move throughput toward levels associated with Visa and Mastercard.
Zakura also supports the Ironwood upgrade, or NU6.3, scheduled to activate on July 28. That upgrade adds a turnstile mechanism designed to restrict withdrawals from the Orchard shielded pool and control counterfeit ZEC that could have been created by a long-standing soundness bug.
