Bitcoin pioneered the field of digital currency by creating a distributed ledger. Since Bitcoin is a public blockchain, every transaction is securely broadcast to everyone in a completely transparent way, even Bitcoin is more public than your bank account. And of course, not everyone likes that so Zcash was born.
So what is Zcash? How does it work? Should you invest in Zcash Coin? Let’s find out with 5ROI!
About Zcash
What is Zcash?
Zcash (ZEC) is known as an open-source cryptocurrency established to protect users’ privacy through encryption algorithms, keeping information private. All transactions on Zcash are public in the Blockchain ledger, but the recipient, sender, and quantity of transaction assets are anonymized.
Zcash is considered a Hard Fork of Bitcoin when built on the Code of Bitcoin. At the same time, Zcash also uses a Proof of Work consensus mechanism.
How was Zcash formed?
- May 2013 – A research team at John Hopkins University proposes Zerocoin, a privacy protocol built as an extension to the Bitcoin network.
- January 2016 – Zooko Wilcox announces the launch of the Zcash Company and the Zcash project, a Bitcoin-inspired privacy coin.
- October 2016 – Zcash was launched.
- March 2017 – The Zcash Foundation was established to guide the development of the Zcash network.
- October 2018 – The Sapling upgrade, which will improve the efficiency of the Zcash cipher, is activated.
- By October 2021, ZECC Company officially declared Zcash as a rare open-source currency used in market transactions. The currency will change the perspective of those who are still dependent on Fiat or other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. From there, Zcash set the stage for the transition from BTC to ZEC Coin.
Features of Zcash
Zcash is more prominent than Bitcoin in that users can customize the privacy of their accounts. This means that users can choose how private or public they want when trading ZEC Coin on Zcash.
- For Zcash addresses starting with the letter “t” transparent: Information about the address and balance in the wallet will be visible. This is called address transparency. This is optional and the user has the right to let other people (3rd parties) see this information to ensure legal issues (if necessary).
- For Zcash addresses starting with the letter “z”: The address information along with the balance will be hidden. These are called “shielded addresses” or masked addresses. ZEC coins can of course send and receive between these two types of wallet addresses.
In terms of technology, Zcash is implemented from Zerocash’s protocol, integrating the Zero-Knowledge algorithm. Since then, the project allows data transactions to take place quickly, with good security, all personal information and assets of the participants are anonymous.
Besides, Zcash can also optimize the speed of quick and easy transaction payment. Participants can simply pay without having to go through any documents, credit cards, or the address of the organization or recipient. Moreover, the processing is quite fast, taking only a few seconds.
