The workshop was mainly a discussion on what kind of libraries and tools are needed in the ZCash ecosystem
The state of ZCash Libraries now:
-
Zcash libraries are mostly ported from Bitcoin ones -- Libraries with t-address support
- Bitcore
- python-bitcoinlib
- z-nomp -- Shielded Addresses --- Nothing!
-
Most of the codes are in Rust -- Librustzcash --- Libwallet-zcash ---- What functionalities do we want it to do? --- Also used in Zcash Fullnode
-
Discussion on what do we need? -- In-browser Signing / Creation of transactions -- cross-language tools -- Need for a curated list of dev tools -- APIs for humans and machines
-
Back to where dev tools are required: -- Low friction - Convenience: --- Browser --- Docker --- Packages with every language (npm, pip)
-
Operations required for such libraries to do: -- Address creation --- ZIP32 -- Address (key) Management -- Signing --- Multi-signature Architecture -- Proving -- Payment detection -- UTXO Management -- Serialization
