Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency launched in 2016 that uses advanced cryptographic techniques called zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) to enable shielded transactions. Built as a fork of Bitcoin, Zcash offers users the choice between transparent and private transactions, providing financial privacy without compromising on security.
ZEC is the native cryptocurrency of the Zcash network. It is used for transactions, mining rewards, and enables users to choose between transparent addresses (similar to Bitcoin) or shielded addresses for enhanced privacy.
