# Zcash Now Has Two Independent Full-Node Implementations By Simon Yoon Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/26561 Published: 2026-10-03T12:14:50.000Z Updated: 2026-10-03T12:14:50.000Z Section: Technology > Zebra and Zakura execute the same rules. The development raises the question of whether a second implementation changes decentralization or computing power remains the only key factor. Zcash now has two independent full-node implementations, Zebra and Zakura, that execute the same rules, raising the question of whether a second implementation changes decentralization or computing power remains the only key factor. Zebra is a Rust-based full-node implementation supported by the Zcash Foundation. Zakura is a separate full-node implementation. Both execute the same rules on the network. The development follows [Gemini’s move of its Zcash node infrastructure to Zakura](). ## Links in this article - [Gemini’s move of its Zcash node infrastructure to Zakura](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/25692)
