## Zakura

Zakura is a Zcash full node written in Rust. It syncs and validates the Zcash
blockchain, participates in the peer-to-peer network, and provides RPC access
for applications and infrastructure. It can be installed with Cargo or run as
a Docker container.

Zakura contains a wrapper for Zcashd wallet CLI. Use this approach if you need
additional time to migrate to Zebra and Zallet (or Z3).

## Community Maintained Snapshots

[Zebra Snapshots by ValarGroup](https://zebra.valargroup.dev/) provides daily,
checksum-verified Zcash mainnet state snapshots in archive and pruned formats.
These snapshots help bring a Zebra node close to the chain tip without syncing
the entire blockchain from scratch.

## Legacy (Zcashd)

Zcashd is the originary consensus node for Zcash. Forked from Bitcoin-core in 2015,
Zcashd has gone through six Network Upgrades and has been the main consensus node
since the Zcash network was deployed in October 28th 2016. It's currently being
deprecated and will soon be replaced by Zebra when the Network Upgrade 6.3 (NU6.3) is
deployed. On July 28th 2026
