Gemini switches to Zcash's Zakura nodes ahead of faster blocks
Gemini has moved its Zcash infrastructure onto Zakura, the independent client built by Valar Group under Project Tachyon, with the switch completed by September. Zakura has rehearsed NU7's 25-second blocks — down from 75 seconds — across 80 nodes in 11 regions.
Gemini's deployments caught up with the network in just over six hours versus close to a day for the previous software, positioning the exchange for Zcash's faster-block upgrade and the network's broader Tachyon scaling work.
