Prototype Codebase

Status: This codebase is an early prototype, and suitable for the adventurous or curious who want to explore rough experimental releases.

This zebra-crosslink codebase is a fork of zebra. If you simply want a modern Zcash production-ready mainnet node, please use that upstream node.

This book is entirely focused on this implementation of Zcash Crosslink. For general Zebra usage or development documentation, please refer to the official Zebra Book, keeping in mind changes in this prototype (which we attempt to thoroughly document here). The

overarching design of Zcash Crosslink in this prototype is based off of the Crosslink 2 hybrid construction for the Trailing Finality Layer.

Build and Usage

To try out the software and join the testnet, see Build and Usage.

Design and Implementation

See the Design and Implementation for an understanding of this software that we update throughout development.

Maintainers

zebra-crosslink is maintained by Shielded Labs, makers of fine Zcash software.

Contributing

Our github issues are open for feedback. We will accept pull requests after the prototyping phase is done.
