I heard that manufacturers are already composing a new adapter for Canon lenses to adapt to the new Nikon Z series cameras, as well as a Leica adapter.
No. Nobody outside Canon has probably seen the mount. There will surely be adapters later.
Nikon Mount is already in the domain, as Tamron just to mention one, manufactures lenses that communicate perfectly with Nikon mount if they can do it any body can, also the Canon mount is also available with other lens Manufacturers so all that has to be done is make the appropriate distance adapter and WALA .Their are a lot of lens manufacturers even the Chinese brands are available for Nikon and Canon Mount right now so I don't see any difficultiesIts unlikely, since Nikon is not sharing info about the Z mount with 3rd party lens makers. Nikon has also been encrypting camera communications, and if they can do that with the lens, it may make the lens protocol very difficult to reverse engineer. Reverse engineering a lens mount is difficult if the tolerance stack is unknown. I've experienced manufacturers using non standard tolerances to keep the competition from reverse engineering accurately.
Adapting the canon electronic lens protocols to Nikon protocols may be very difficult at best. Its difficult with Sony and there, the protocols are already compatible, and Sony shares lens mount data with 3rd parties. A EF to Z adapter would likely be a mess.
i believe you have misunderstood.
OP meant adapter to mount Canon EF lenses on Nikon Z7/Z6 camera.
Which should be technically possible, and very likely. Metabones et al should be all over it. they will have to reverse engineer Nikon Z-mount, but I don't think it is all that difficult.

I read it that the current Nikon DSLR mount has been reverse engineered by Tamron as has the current Canon so it will not be impossible for the mirrorless ones as well in answer to Mt Spokane’s post about Nikon’s being encrypted. It is not clearly written though.Really? Care to share a link to these already available adapters? For EF to Z? Z to R? R to Z? etc.
