The Zcash Foundation deploys 5 DNS seed nodes to cope with ECC node shutdowns.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Zcash Foundation has officially announced that in response to the Electric Coin Company (ECC) DNS seed nodes ceasing service on January 8, five new DNS seed nodes have been deployed in the United States and Europe.
