Zcash Original Node Software zcashd Officially Retired

ZODL founder Josh Swihart announced that zcashd (the original official node software for Zcash) will stop maintenance as planned at block height 3,417,100. The Zcash network will continue to operate on Zebra and Zakura (modern Rust node implementations), with the Zallet wallet replacing the zcashd wallet. Since its launch of the Zcash network on October 28, 2016, zcashd has been running for ten years and is now officially retired. zcashd is a fork of Bitcoin Core v0.11.2 and was the first large-scale deployment of zk-SNARKs, demonstrating the value of zero-knowledge encryption on public blockchains. Every historical network upgrade has been completed through zcashd, including the Sprout, Overwinter, Sapling, Blossom, Heartwood, and Canopy versions.
