Zcash: a closer look

What Zcash is

Zcash (ZEC) was launched in 2016 by a team led by Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn. It was the first widely circulated coin with zero-knowledge proofs: a transaction can be verified without revealing its details.

How Zcash works

Addresses come in two kinds — transparent, arranged as in bitcoin, and shielded, where sender, recipient and amount are covered by zk-SNARK proofs. The consensus is Proof of Work on Equihash, a block appears roughly every 75 seconds, and the supply cap is 21 million coins.

What Zcash is for

ZEC suits cases where the payer chooses the level of privacy: an open transfer if transparency is needed, a shielded one if confidentiality is.

Sending ZEC

A transparent address starts with t1, a unified or shielded one with u1 or zs. Exchanges often accept only transparent ones, so it is worth checking the address type with the recipient in advance.

Where to keep Zcash

Shielded funds are handled by modern wallets — Zashi, YWallet. Transparent ZEC is understood by some hardware devices as well.

What to keep in mind

Shielded transfers are not accepted by every service, and liquidity lags behind the market leaders. The price is unstable.
