Zcash Foundation urgently deploys five DNS seed nodes to strengthen global network coverage
【Zhuanblock Rhythm】The Zcash Foundation has recently taken an important action. On January 8th, the DNS seed node operated by Electric Coin Company experienced a service interruption. To address this situation, the foundation acted quickly and announced on January 14th that five new DNS seed nodes had been deployed in the United States and Europe.
Where exactly are they located? In the US, they chose South Carolina and Oregon, while in Europe, coverage includes Belgium, Germany, and Finland. With these additions, along with the original nodes, the Zcash Foundation now controls a total of six seed nodes.
This deployment may seem simple, but it is quite significant. Seed nodes are the “navigators” of the network, determining whether new wallets and nodes can quickly find peers when starting up. More and more distributed nodes mean a more stable user experience and shorter startup times.
Interestingly, the foundation is also continuing to plan. They are considering further deployments in other regions, while the Shielded Labs team is working in parallel to deploy additional nodes. It appears that Zcash is putting effort into building a more decentralized and resilient network infrastructure.
