Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that launched in 2016, created by the Electric Coin Company on a fork of Bitcoin's codebase. It was built to add privacy to the kind of transparent ledger Bitcoin uses, through a form of cryptography known as zero-knowledge proofs, specifically zk-SNARKs. Zcash supports two kinds of transactions. Transparent transactions work much like Bitcoin, with details recorded openly on the blockchain, while shielded transactions use zero-knowledge proofs to confirm a transaction is valid without revealing the sender, receiver or amount. The network also includes selective disclosure, which lets a holder choose to share specific transaction details when they need to, for example for compliance or an audit. Zcash is secured by proof-of-work, similar in approach to Bitcoin, and was developed by researchers with a background in cryptography and security. On Digital Surge you can buy and hold ZEC in AUD within minutes of verifying your account.
