PANews reported on January 21 that, according to CoinDesk, the Zcash Foundation recently released a new DNS seed program based on the Rust language, designed to improve the efficiency and security of Zcash network nodes in discovering peer nodes at startup.

DNS seed servers serve as entry points for decentralized networks, providing newly launched nodes with a list of active and healthy nodes, enabling the network to scale without relying on a centralized coordinator. This tool is built on the same network codebase as Zebra, a Rust full node developed by the Zcash Foundation, using the same rules and protocols to scan the network, thus improving consistency and reliability. Its lock-free architecture allows for fast processing of DNS requests and includes built-in protection mechanisms such as IP-based rate limiting to help prevent abuse attacks. The tool supports IPv4 and IPv6, integrates Prometheus for real-time monitoring metrics, and provides Docker tools to simplify deployment. It is currently open-source and released on GitHub, encouraging users to test it on the mainnet and testnet.
