# Zebra V2: Back in Stripes

## Why Was Zebra V1 Sunset? 

As many of you already know, we moved away from the Signal fork and decided to rebuild Zebra entirely from scratch — using only our own code.

Zebra is our flagship product, and unlike apps built on top of third-party APIs or forked logic, it’s a fully independent messaging platform. That means new features take time — but it also means **no compromises**.\

We’re committed to delivering a smooth, reliable, and privacy-first experience.\
Thanks for sticking with us as we continue to improve it!<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://zkml.gitbook.io/zkml/products/zebra/zebra-v2-back-in-stripes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
