Zakura Node na ɔkyerɛwee
Zakura yɛ free, open-source full node implementation ma Zcash, wɔasi ama scale. Forked fi Zebra na ɛnam Valar Kuw ne Project Tachyon ntam adwumayɛ so na ɛyɛɛ no, Zakura de synchronization a ɛyɛ ntɛm kɛse, native block pruning, ne compatibility layer ma agyapade ma zcashd nnwinnade a wɔde yɛ adwuma. Wɔyii Version 1.0.0 adi wɔ July 15, 2026.
TL;DR
- Zakura yɛ consensus-compatible Zcash full node — ɔkwan foforo a wɔfa so yɛ Zebra ne zcashd, forked fi Zebra.
- Blockchain sync yɛ bɛyɛ 5× ntɛmntɛm sen Zebra; snapshot bootstrapping wie wɔ wɔ simma 2 ase.
- Native block pruning ma adwumayɛfoɔ kwan ma wɔyɛ node a ɛyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ a disk space sua koraa (~11 GB pruned snapshot vs. 300 GB ma Zebra node a ɛyɛ ma).
- zcashd RPC compatibility mode ma sika kotokuo ne nkabom a ɛwɔ hɔ dada no yɛ adwuma a wɔnyɛ nsakraeɛ biara.
- sɔhwɛ P2P akwantuo layer (a wɔagyae no default) de n’ani si sub-500ms block propagation so ne DoS-resistant gossip.
- Ɛne Ironwood (NU6.3) hyia, Zcash ntwamutam nkɔsoɔ no yɛɛ adwuma wɔ afe 2026 mfimfini.
- Zakura Common (v1.3.0, August 2026) ma cryptography sika kotoku a wɔde di dwuma de yɛ kokoam nkitahodi no yɛ ntɛmntɛm: efi bɛboro sikani 3 kosi nea ennu 200 ms wɔ nsɛm pii mu, sɛnea Zakura nsusuwii te.
- Sean Bowe (Zcash a ɔka wɔn a wɔhyehyɛɛ, Project Tachyon) ne Dev Ojha (Valar Kuw) na wodi wɔn anim.
Dɛn ne Zakura?
Zakura yɛ Zcash full node a wɔayɛ no fi fam sɛ ɛbɛyɛ production-ready wɔ scale. Bere a ɛne Zebra kyɛ adwene a ɛne ne ho hyia — a ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛgye tom na ɛdi Zcash protocol mmara koro no ara akyi — Zakura de mfiridwuma mu nkɔsoɔ kɛseɛ ba a ne botaeɛ ne sɛ ɛbɛbrɛ akwansideɛ a ɛwɔ Zcash node a ɛyɛ ma a wɔde tu mmirika no ase.
Dwumadie no yɛ mmɔdenbɔ a Project Tachyon (Sean Bowe, Zcash mfitiaseɛ cryptographic engineers no mu baako di anim) ne Valar Group (Dev Ojha di anim) abom. Wɔbom de wɔn adwene si awo ntoatoaso a edi hɔ Zcash protocol nkɔso so, na Zakura som sɛ reference node ma saa adwuma no.
Nneɛma Titiriw a Ɛwɔ Hɔ
5× Nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a Ɛyɛ Ntɛmntɛm Synchronization
Zakura nya bɛyɛ 5× ntɛmntɛm blockchain synchronization sɛ wɔde toto Zebra ho a. Eyi ma ɛyɛ nea mfaso wɔ so kɛse ma adwumayɛfo a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwitwa node bi ntɛmntɛm anaasɛ wɔsan nya ahoɔden fi bere a wɔde ayɛ adwuma no mu.
Snapshot Bootstrapping a wɔde yɛ adwuma
Zakura tintim nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mfonini ahorow a wɔadi kan ayɛ a ɛtew bere a wɔde yɛ sync mfiase no so kɛse:
| Bootstrap Ɔkwan a Wɔfa so Yɛ | Bere |
|---|
| Archive mfonini a wɔde asie | ~simma 37 |
| Pruned snapshot a wɔatwa no | Wɔ simma 2 ase |
| Zebra (a ɛyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ) | ~ nnɔnhwerew 20 |
Pruned snapshots yɛ bɛyɛ 11 GB, ɛma 680× ntɛmntɛm node bootstrap tumi sɛ wɔde toto syncing fi genesis ho a.
Native Block Ntwitwiridii
Zakura boa configurable block pruning, ma node adwumayɛfo tumi kyerɛkyerɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn abakɔsɛm dodow a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkora so. Wei ma ɛyɛ nea mfaso wɔ so sɛ wobɛma node a edi mũ ayɛ adwuma wɔ hardware a ɛwɔ akorae kakraa bi — mfaso wɔ so ma validators, developers, ne infrastructure providers a wonhia abakɔsɛm nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a edi mũ no.
zcashd RPC Nkitahodi Mode
Zakura de compatibility mode a ɛsan yɛ agyapade no ka ho zcashd JSON-RPC ntam nkitahodi. Sika kotoku a ɛwɔ hɔ dedaw, nsakrae, ne nkabom a wɔde wɔn ho to so zcashd RPCs betumi adan akɔ Zakura a enhia sɛ wɔsesa code.
Nsɔhwɛ P2P Transport Layer
Zakura de awo ntoatoaso a edi hɔ peer-to-peer transport layer mena, mprempren wɔayɛ adwuma default. Sɛ wɔma ɛyɛ adwuma a, ɛde n’ani si:
- Sub-500ms a enye koraa no block trɛw wɔ network no nyinaa so
- Mempool aggregation ma nkitahodi relay a etu mpɔn kɛse
- DoS-resistant gossip protocol a ɛbɛma network ahoɔden a wɔde gyina ano no atu mpɔn
Saa layer yi gyina hɔ ma daakye Zcash network-level nkɔsoɔ a wɔreyɛ wɔ Project Tachyon ase no ho nhwɛsoɔ.
Ironwood (NU6.3) Nea ɛne no hyia
Zakura ne Ironwood ntwamutam nkɔsoɔ (NU6.3), a wɔde yɛɛ adwuma wɔ Zcash mainnet so wɔ afe 2026 mfimfini no hyia koraa.
Zakura Common: Sikakorabea a Wɔde Siesie Nsɛm a Ɛyɛ Ntɛmntɛm
Wɔ August 2026 mu no Zakura kuw no yii Zakura Common adi, fork ahorow a ɛyɛ ntɛmntɛm a ɛwɔ cryptography nhomakorabea ahorow a Zcash sika kotoku ne nodes de wɔn ho to so no adi. Zakura dan kɔɔ stack foforo no so wɔ version 1.3.0 mu, na Vizor Wallet ka sika kotoku a edi kan a ɛkaa ho no ho.
Sɛnea Zakura ankasa nsusuwii ahorow kyerɛ no:
| Adwumayɛ | Ahoɔhare a wɔde yɛ adwuma |

Wɔ wɔn a wɔde di dwuma no fam no, nsakrae a wotumi hu sen biara ne bere a wɔde twɛn. Ná kokoam asɛm a wobɛyɛ no gye sika kotoku bɛboro sikɔne abiɛsa. Zakura Common no tumi gye nea ennu 200 ms wɔ nsɛm pii mu. Eyi ne bere a wo mfiri no de siesie asɛm no, na ɛnyɛ bere a ɛsɛ sɛ netɛw no si so dua.
