+### zcash-rpc-diff
+
+This program compares `zebrad` and `zcashd` RPC responses.
+
+Make sure you have zcashd and zebrad installed and synced.
+
+The script:
+1. gets the `zebrad` and `zcashd` tip height and network
+2. sends the RPC request to both of them using `zcash-cli`
+3. compares the responses using `diff`
+4. leaves the full responses in files in a temporary directory, so you can check them in detail
+
+Assuming `zebrad`'s RPC port is 28232, you should be able to run:
+```sh
+$ zebra-utils/zcash-rpc-diff 28232 getinfo
+Checking zebrad network and tip height...
+Checking zcashd network and tip height...
+
+Request:
+getinfo
+
+Querying zebrad main chain at height 1649797...
+Querying zcashd main chain at height 1649797...
+
+Response diff (between zcashd port and port 28232):

+```
+
+Sometimes zcashd will have extra fields (`+`) or different data (`-` and `+`).
+And sometimes it will have the same data, but in a different order.
+
+The script will warn you if the heights or networks are different,
+then display the results of querying the mismatched node states.
+
+The script accepts any RPC, with any number of arguments.
+If a node doesn't implement an RPC, the script will exit with an error.
+
+#### Configuration
+
+The script uses the configured `zcash-cli` RPC port,
+and the `zebrad` port supplied on the command-line.
+
+It doesn't actually check what kind of node it is talking to,
+so you can compare two `zcashd` or `zebrad` nodes if you want.
+(Just edit the `zcash.conf` file used by `zcash-cli`, or edit the script.)
+
+You can override the binaries the script calls using these environmental variables:
+- `$ZCASH_CLI`
+- `$DIFF`
