Yesterday, Valar Group and Project Tachyon announced Zakura, a new Zcash full node built from the Zebra codebase. We want to state plainly: this is good for Zcash, and we welcome it.Zebra was built to be forked.

Zakura’s engineering is impressive including faster initial sync, pruning, snapshot bootstrapping, and a compatibility path for zcashd operators — and it arrives at the moment the network needs more capable options, not fewer. We congratulate the Zakura team, several of whom have also contributed directly…

The DAO retains custody, while only the $65 million Endowment Safe is set to transition to the Foundation, subject to a timelock and Security Council cancellation rights. The DAO’s 54.6 million ENS tokens remain with tokenholders, while the Foundation would receive a 1 million ENS…

They also weaken confidence: in institutions, in the currency and, sometimes, in the financial system itself. Sri Lanka has spent much of the period since 2022 attempting to restore that confidence following the most severe economic crisis in its post-independence history. By 2026, shortages and long queues no longer define everyday life as they once did. Economic growth has returned, inflation has moderated from its crisis-era highs and foreign-exchange reserves have improved. Nevertheless, the recovery…

The next sections explain how it works, where it performs best, and how traders can combine it with other technical tools for better trading decisions. What Is the…
