About
Zcash is a decentralized, open-source cryptocurrency that offers optional anonymity for transactions. It utilizes zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proof technology, allowing network nodes to verify transactions without revealing sensitive information like sender, recipient, or amount. While transactions are recorded on a public blockchain, Zcash provides users with control over their privacy, enabling them to choose between transparent and shielded addresses. The company behind Zcash, originally known as Zcash Company, rebranded to Electric Coin Company (ECC) and later, its core development team formed Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL).
