Zebra
Project Links
Description
Developed by the Zcash Foundation, Zebra is a modern, modular Zcash node built from scratch in memory-safe Rust. It implements the same protocol as zcashd, can join the Zcash peer-to-peer network, and helps strengthen network resilience by validating and broadcasting transactions and maintaining blockchain state. As an alternative node implementation, it helps detect implementation-specific consensus issues and provides a path for Rust developers to develop for and contribute to Zcash.Category: Node Software
