Zcash- Privacy-focused blockchain

Zcash is private, fast, and accessible to everyone. It is Bitcoin forked and uses zk-SNARKS (Zero-knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge proofs for privacy.

Zcash is a digital currency like Bitcoin, but it protects a user’s privacy instead of exposing their financial history.

Zcash has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Every 75 seconds, a new block is mined to the Zcash blockchain and a block reward of 3.125 ZEC comes into circulation.

Among the features included in the next Zcash network upgrade is Unified Addresses. The unified address (UA) is a future-proof Zcash address format that improves usability, increases the ease of interoperability, and supports shielding Zcash by default.

A zero-knowledge proof is a cryptographic method that can prove something to be true without revealing the facts that make it true. 

Zcash was the first widespread application of zk-SNARKs, a novel form of zero-knowledge cryptography. Zero-knowledge” proofs allow one party (the prover) to prove to another (the verifier) that a statement is true, without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself.

Zcash Scalability and transaction costs:

Block time -150 seconds

Transaction per second 6 to 27

Transaction fees- 0.0001 ZEC
