FAQ
Zcash (ZEC) is a decentralized cryptocurrency that focuses on providing enhanced privacy and anonymity for its users. Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, Zcash allows transactions to be conducted without revealing the sender, recipient, or transaction amount by default. This privacy feature is enabled through zk-SNARK (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) technology, which allows transactions to be verified without exposing any sensitive information. While Zcash operates on a public blockchain, it gives users the flexibility to choose between transparent and shielded transactions, offering both privacy and transparency options.
Zcash operates on a public blockchain, but it differentiates itself through its optional privacy features. Users can choose between transparent transactions, which function similarly to Bitcoin transactions and are publicly visible, or shielded transactions, which use zk-SNARKs to obscure transaction details. In shielded transactions, the blockchain records that a transaction occurred, but the sender and recipient addresses, as well as the transaction amount, remain hidden. This dual transaction model allows Zcash to provide privacy when needed while maintaining compatibility with traditional transparent blockchain systems.
