Odaily Planet Daily reports that Zcash has launched a new full node, Zakura, maintained by a team independent of the Zcash Foundation. It is released as a fast-sync cut-down branch of Zebra, and is compatible with older zcashd clients. This client will end its lifecycle on July 18.

Zakura is one of the components of Zcash’s scalability efforts. Together with Project Tachyon and research on private information retrieval, its goal is to increase network throughput to Visa and Mastercard levels by reducing verification data and eliminating wallet performance bottlenecks.

Zakura also supports the Ironwood (NU6.3) upgrade, which will be activated on July 28. This upgrade introduces a turnstile mechanism to limit withdrawals from the Orchard shielded pool and to control potentially forged ZEC that may be generated by a long-term soundness bug.
