<p>The key words "MUST" and "MAY" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 <a id="footnote-reference-1" class="footnote_reference" href="#bcp14">1</a> when, and only when, they appear in all capitals.</p>
<p>The character § is used when referring to sections of the Zcash Protocol Specification <a id="footnote-reference-2" class="footnote_reference" href="#protocol">2</a>.</p>

<section id="abstract"><h2><span class="section-heading">Abstract</span><span class="section-anchor"> <a rel="bookmark" href="#abstract"><img width="24" height="24" class="section-anchor" src="assets/images/section-anchor.png" alt=""></a></span></h2>
<p>This proposal defines an update to the Zcash peer-to-peer transaction format to include support for data elements required to support the Orchard protocol <a id="footnote-reference-3" class="footnote_reference" href="#protocol">2</a>. The new transaction format defines well-bounded regions of the serialized form to serve each of the existing pools of funds, and adds and describes a new region containing Orchard-specific elements.</p>
<p>This ZIP also depends upon and defines modifications to the computation of the values <strong>TxId Digest</strong>, <strong>Signature Digest</strong>, and <strong>Authorizing Data Commitment</strong> defined by ZIP 244 <a id="footnote-reference-4" class="footnote_reference" href="#zip-0244">7</a>.</p>

<section id="motivation"><h2><span class="section-heading">Motivation</span><span class="section-anchor"> <a rel="bookmark" href="#motivation"><img width="24" height="24" class="section-anchor" src="assets/images/section-anchor.png" alt=""></a></span></h2>
<p>The new Orchard shielded pool requires serialized data elements that are distinct from any previous Zcash transaction. In addition, with the activation of ZIP 244, the serialized transaction format will no longer be consensus-critical. It makes sense at this point to define a format that can readily accommodate future extension in a systematic fashion, where elements required for support for a given pool are kept separate.</p>
</section>
<section id="requirements"><h2><span class="section-heading">Requirements</span><span class="section-anchor"> <a rel="bookmark" href="#requirements"><img width="24" height="24" class="section-anchor" src="assets/images/section-anchor.png" alt=""></a></span></h2>
<p>The new format must fully support the Orchard protocol.</p>
<p>The new format should lend itself to future extension or pruning to add or remove value pools.</p>
<p>The computation of the non-malleable transaction identifier hash must include all newly incorporated elements except those that attest to transaction validity.</p>
<p>The computation of the commitment to authorizing data for a transaction must include all newly incorporated elements that attest to transaction validity.</p>
</section>
<section id="non-requirements"><h2><span class="section-heading">Non-requirements</span><span class="section-anchor"> <a rel="bookmark" href="#non-requirements"><img width="24" height="24" class="section-anchor" src="assets/images/section-anchor.png" alt=""></a></span></h2>
<p>More general forms of extensibility, such as definining a key/value format that allows for parsers that are unaware of some components, are not required.</p>

<p>All fields in this specification are encoded as little-endian.</p>
<p>The Zcash transaction format for transaction version 5 is as follows:</p>

The encodings of <code>SpendDescriptionV5</code>, <code>OutputDescriptionV5</code> and <code>OrchardAction</code> are described below. The encoding of Sapling Spends and Outputs has changed relative to prior versions in order to better separate data that describe the effects of the transaction from the proofs of and commitments to those effects, and for symmetry with this separation in the Orchard-related parts of the transaction format.</p>

<p>The original version of ZIP-225 included Sprout-related fields <code>nJoinSplit</code>, <code>vJoinSplit</code>, <code>joinSplitPubKey</code>, and <code>joinSplitSig</code> in the V5 transaction format. The Electric Coin Company and Zcash Foundation teams have elected to remove these fields from the V5 transaction format as part of the continuing process of deprecation of the Sprout shielded pool. As a consequence of these fields being removed:</p>
<ul>
<li>This effectively prohibits migration transactions that would directly move funds from the Sprout pool to the Orchard pool. Sprout -> Transparent and Sprout -> Sapling migration transactions will still be supported when using the V4 transaction format.</li>
</ul>
<p>Removing these fields reduces the complexity of the NU5 upgrade in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>V5 parsing and serialization code does not need to take these fields into account.</li>
<li>ZIP 244 <a id="footnote-reference-8" class="footnote_reference" href="#zip-0244">7</a> transaction identifier, signature hash, and authorizing data commitment computations are simplified by excluding consideration of these fields.</li>
</ul>
<p>Removal of these fields means that that in the future, removing the support for the V4 transaction format will also effectively end support for Sprout transactions on the Zcash network, though it might be possible to restore limited support for migration via a future ZIP 222 <a id="footnote-reference-9" class="footnote_reference" href="#zip-0222">6</a> extension or by other means not yet determined.</p>
<p>The original definitions for the transaction fields that have been removed are:</p>
