Zcash’s new full node client, Zakura, developed by Project Tachyon and Valar Group, now supports the Ironwood network upgrade. Built on the Zcash Foundation’s Zebra, Zakura is open-source and ready for the upcoming blockchain upgrade scheduled for activation around July 28. The client syncs the Zcash mainnet in approximately 4 hours and 20 minutes—a nearly 5x improvement over Zebra. Future upgrades, including quantum resilience and recursive proofs, will be integrated directly into the live network.

Odaily Planet Daily reports: Zakura, a new full-node client for Zcash developed jointly by Project Tachyon and Valar Group, has been officially released. Zakura is a free and open-source client built on Zebra, developed by the Zcash Foundation, and already supports the Ironwood (NU6.3) network upgrade, which is expected to activate around July 28. The team plans to gradually integrate future Zcash protocol upgrades—such as quantum recoverability, recursive proofs, and private information retrieval—into the live network via Zakura. Benchmark tests show that Zakura completes synchronization with the Zcash mainnet in approximately 4 hours and 20 minutes, compared to Zebra’s 20 hours and 46 minutes, representing a nearly fivefold improvement in sync speed.
