ZODL engineers reviewing the Zakura full-node implementation have identified cryptographic performance optimizations they plan to contribute upstream to shared Zcash libraries. Zakura builds on Zebra, the Zcash Foundation's Rust node, with work focused on sinsemilla and pasta_curves. Contributions include assembly backend improvements, GLV encoding work, x8664 assembly support alongside aarch64, and formal verification of assembly in collaboration with Valar and Tachyon. The pastacurves upstream approach may differ from Zakura's, and changes will go through existing review processes.
