Hello! I am Zebra, an ongoing Rust implementation of a Zcash node.

Zebra is a work in progress. It is developed as a collection of zebra-* libraries implementing the different components of a Zcash node (networking, chain structures, consensus rules, etc), and a zebrad binary which uses them.

Most of our work so far has gone into zebra-network, building a new networking stack for Zcash, and zebra-chain, building foundational data structures.

Rendered docs from the main branch.

Metrics

Notes on local metrics collection:

# create a storage volume for grafana (once)
sudo docker volume create grafana-storage
# create a storage volume for prometheus (once)
sudo docker volume create prometheus-storage

# run prometheus with the included config
sudo docker run --network host -v prometheus-storage:/prometheus -v /path/to/zebra/prometheus.yaml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml  prom/prometheus

# run grafana
sudo docker run -d --network host -e GF_SERVER_HTTP_PORT=3030 -v grafana-storage:/var/lib/grafana grafana/grafana

Now the grafana dashboard is available at http://localhost:3030 ; the default password is admin/admin.
