Zcashd End-of-Life

Medium6.5

◆ Description

Zcashd reaches End-of-Life on July 18th. Users and operators must migrate to Zebra before then.

◆ Why it matters

Zcashd, the reference full-node client, reaches end-of-life on a firm date, requiring operators and miners to migrate to Zebra. The deadline creates a concrete obligation on network participants, with non-migration posing consensus and liveness risk. Because Zebra provides a working replacement, the event pressures migration without disrupting the network's valuation thesis.
