What is Zcash?
Zcash begins with many of Bitcoin’s attractive features and adds zero-knowledge privacy technology.
Built on Bitcoin's Foundation
Launched in 2016 from Bitcoin’s codebase, Zcash shares its defining attributes, including a fixed 21 million coin supply. Zcash’s shielded transaction pool enables private transactions, addressing growing demand for financial privacy as economic activity continues to move on-chain.
Zcash's Enhanced Privacy Technology
Users choose between transparent and shielded transactions, balancing privacy with regulation.
Shielded transactions utilize zero-knowledge proofs to demonstrate validity while sender, receiver, and amounts stay private,
Shielded addresses set the foundation for quantum resistance.
Growing Institutional Demand
Confidential settlement demand driven by mainstream digital asset adoption supports growing institutional and sovereign interest and engagement with Zcash.
