Zcash

Bitcoin-style money with zero-knowledge shielded transactions.

A proof-of-work chain with both transparent addresses and shielded pools (Sapling and Orchard) where zk-SNARKs prove a payment is valid without revealing who paid whom or how much. Unified addresses and viewing keys make selective disclosure possible.

How do Zcash shielded and transparent transactions differ?

Transparent ZEC works like Bitcoin; shielded Sapling and Orchard notes hide sender, receiver and amount with zk-SNARKs. Stay fully shielded: crossing pools or linking t-addresses leaks amounts and identity.
