    Supporting evidenceVerified evidence record

    Zcash Foundation documented a second full-node path derived from Zebra

    The Foundation described Zakura as a full node derived from Zebra, committed to conformance and differential testing, and said it would accept conforming implementations.

    Context

    What this showsThis supports operator choice and independent verification infrastructure on that dimension.

    What it doesn't showZakura descends from Zebra, so this does not establish fully independent client-code diversity, production adoption, node counts or mining decentralization.

Privacy

Shielded transactions continue protecting transaction details under documented conditions.

    Supporting evidenceVerified evidence record

    The Zcash protocol specifies shielded transaction protections

    The protocol specification defines shielded transfers whose note values, recipient data and spend linkage are protected through zero-knowledge proofs and encrypted note data.

    Context

    What this showsThis establishes the protocol mechanism that gives shielded Zcash transfers their protected-information role.

    What it doesn't showA protocol specification does not prove wallet defaults, universal shielded use, anonymity-set quality, endpoint metadata protection, implementation soundness or the absence of future vulnerabilities.
