Least Authority reviewed the changes made to Zebra that will be introduced in the NU6.1 network upgrade.
The Zebra project is a Rust implementation of a Zcash node, developed by the Zcash Foundation as an alternative to the reference zcashd client. Its core functionality centers on validating blocks, enforcing consensus rules, and managing the Zcash ledger. Zebra plays a key role in supporting the decentralization of the Zcash network, strengthening security through independent implementations, and facilitating protocol upgrades such as NU6.1.
