| 1 | +# A new Zcash technology Stack |
| 2 | +Zcash was created from a bitcoin-core fork from 2015. Zcashd has been the |
| 3 | +main consensus node over 9 years. A complex machinery that combines legacy |
| 4 | +C++ code from Satoshi's Era, cutting edge Zero Knowledge Proofs, RustLang |
| 5 | +code, a full-node wallet, mining and blockchain indexing RPCs. |

3 | | -Zcashd Deprecation is now called Z^3 (Zebra x Zaino x Zallet). |
| 7 | +That's a lot! It all came to the point where the community voted that developers |
| 8 | +focus on making Zcash Shielded Assets a reality. But after an in-depth analysis, |
| 9 | +it was determined that in order to be able to keep advancing the protocol, Zcashd |
| 10 | +would have to be replaced because the effort of adding new features was huge and |
| 11 | +deemed an inefficient allocation of the development resources of the Zcash |
| 12 | +development budget. ECC core developers made the decision of starting to |
| 13 | +deprecate Zcashd in favor of a new technology stack composed of Zebra, a RustLang |
| 14 | +modern consensus node developed by the Zcash Foundation engineering team and, |
| 15 | +Zaino an indexer called developed by ZingoLabs. ECC would be in charge of |
| 16 | +developing the full-node wallet that would connect to Zaino and Zebra called |
| 17 | +Zallet. |

5 | | -"Zee Three" or "Zee to the Three" is an original idea from Zancas (ZingoLabs). |
| 19 | +Zcashd deprecation is a cross-team ecosystem-wide effort which is targeted for |
| 20 | +end of 2025. |

|
| 24 | +Zcashd Deprecation was deemed a negative narrative. In order to focus in the |
| 25 | +positive aspects of the outcomes of this proces, it was then renamed to |
| 26 | +Z^3 (Zebra x Zaino x Zallet). If you'd like to contribute to Z3, check out the |
