Zero-knowledge proofs allow transactions to be verified without revealing the sender, receiver or transaction amount. Selective disclosure features within Zcash allow a user to share some transaction details, for purposes of compliance or audit.

What is Zcash?
Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency launched in 2016 by the Electric Coin Company. Built on a fork of Bitcoin’s codebase, Zcash was developed to address Bitcoin’s lack of privacy by implementing groundbreaking cryptographic technology called zero-knowledge proofs, specifically zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge).
Unlike Bitcoin, where all transaction details are publicly visible on the blockchain, Zcash offers both transparent and shielded transactions. Shielded transactions use zero-knowledge proofs to verify transactions without revealing the sender, receiver, or transaction amount. This technology allows users to maintain complete financial privacy while still benefiting from blockchain’s security and decentralisation. Zcash also includes selective disclosure features, enabling users to share specific transaction details for compliance or audit purposes when needed.
- Zero-knowledge proofs – Transactions verified without revealing sensitive data
- Dual transaction types – Both transparent and private shielded transactions
- Selective disclosure – Optional transaction detail sharing for compliance
- Proof-of-work consensus – Secured by miners using similar technology to Bitcoin
- Founded by cryptography experts – Developed by leading privacy and security researchers
Why Buy Zcash?
