GRPCs Required by Light Clients

[pacu]

how to provide these RPCs from Zebra

[pacu]

First meeting took place Aug 23rd.

Here are my top of mind call notes

• Zingo indexer has the potential of replacing zebra indexer and let zebra be a consensus node project
• for this the grant has to be edited to reflect scope and architecture design to the wider community
• ZF has to agree to work with Zingo on this
• Zingo-indexer will focus on RPC that serves light clients first but with zcashd deprecation in mind
• this will off-load engineering teams to take on other super important tasks as defining and implementing an export format for zcash wallets (full node and light) to unblock zcashd wallet depreciation
• while there are many unknowns, the initial work is defined well enough so that Zingo can restructure this grant as a “first of” a series of grants structured as pay-as-delivered

Several meetings and brainstorming with Zingo and other core devs lead to this designed which is in the process of being signed off.
