Zakura's P2Pv2 replaces Zcash's Bitcoin-inherited networking with a QUIC-based stack using authenticated connections, bounded streams, and a service registry routing discovery, header sync, block sync, and custom permissionless services. It cites 50,000 tps needing ~100MB/s per node versus NU7's 2MB, 25-second blocks. Block sync uses per-peer BBR controllers; header sync runs a property-tested DAG fork-choice engine. Testnet runs it alongside the legacy stack, with Mainnet readiness expected soon. Mempool aggregation is planned after Tachyon.
