Zakura Node Setup
NozyWallet works with Zakura — a Zebra-fork full node — using the same config as Zebrad. You do not need Zakura’s zcashd compatibility mode.
Full operator guide: Zakura ↔ NozyWallet connectivity.
Quick setup
1. Configure Zakurad
# ~/.config/zakurad.toml
[rpc]
listen_addr = "127.0.0.1:8232"
enable_cookie_auth = false # lightwalletd + local dev
zakurad start
2. lightwalletd
Point lightwalletd at Zakura RPC (127.0.0.1:8232). See Zakura’s lightwalletd book chapter.
3. Point NozyWallet
nozy config --set-zebra-url http://127.0.0.1:8232
nozy test-zebra # detects Zakura + probes z_gettreestate
nozy sync --to-tip
Zebrad or Zakura?
| Node | When to use |
|---|---|
| Zebrad | Zcash Foundation default; well-trodden with NozyWallet CI |
| Zakura | Faster sync, snapshots, pruned nodes; Ironwood from Project Tachyon / Valar |
Both use port 8232 (mainnet) and the same zebra_url setting.
