ZCash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency using zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proofs to shield transaction metadata—hiding sender, recipient, and amount by default. Secured by Equihash Proof-of-Work, ZEC features a dynamic block reward with halving every four years and a founder’s reward tapering off, transitioning to miner-only issuance. Its selective disclosure feature allows viewing of encrypted transactions for auditing or regulatory compliance if desired.
