bcrd/zcash-testnet repository overview

⁠zcash - Overwinter Testnet

⁠Latest: Zcash 2.0.0

Sapling will activate on the testnet at block 280000, which is expected about a week after this release. Sapling had previously activated on testnet, but because changes were made to the consensus rules your node will automatically roll back and proceed on the Overwinter testnet branch until Sapling activates again at the new height.
