According to U.Today, the first Zebra release candidate for the upcoming Zcash network upgrade is now scheduled, and two specific dates in October are being closely monitored by the community.
The release candidate represents an early testing version of the software change intended for the Zcash blockchain. It allows developers and validators to evaluate functionality before broader deployment. No official activation date or schedule beyond these two October milestones has been confirmed.
U.Today reports that the timing of the upgrade depends on successful testing through the release candidate phase. The two dates in question are identified as key reference points for potential network changes but do not include details such as exact day numbers, rollout phases, or adoption timelines.
The announcement emphasizes that the Zcash team is proceeding with standard development and review procedures following the release of the candidate. No statements about impact on users, transaction speeds, or security were included in the source material.
