What is Zcash?

Zcash (ZEC) is a decentralized and open-source privacy coin facilitating anonymous digital payments. It employs resilient cryptographic encryptions to keep transactions confidential. Its fungibility makes all tokens identical without individual transaction histories, so it isn’t easy to track payments.

Zcash uses a Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) construction called a zk-SNARK. This allows the network to maintain a secure ledger of balances without disclosing the parties or amounts involved. Instead of publicly demonstrating spend authority and transaction values, the transaction metadata is encrypted and zk-SNARKs are used to prove that nobody is cheating or stealing. Thanks to selective transparency of transactions, users can choose to send Zcash privately (no personal information is disclosed) or publicly (similar to performing a Bitcoin or Ethereum payment).

The network employs a Proof of Work consensus mechanism(similar mining incentive system as Bitcoin), where miners receive tokens as rewards for the blocks they mine. The protocol distributes 80% of the payout to miners, while the remaining 20% goes to the protocol’s founders, investors, team, and the Zcash Foundation.

ZEC is the network’s native cryptocurrency of Zcash, used primarily to provide an alternative digital payment. It is also used to settle transactions within the network.

“Ledger = peace of mind. I'm sure some of us know that unsettling feeling when you know you need a Ledger but haven't quite organized yourself to get it sorted. If I did it all again, I'd start with having a Ledger.”

Janet Onagah @Janet_Oganah

"I got hacked in January and lost 1000s worth of NFTs. I felt disgusted, lost, and willing to quit. Until my friend told me he's ordering a Ledger. So, we bought the duo deal. Since then, I've been sleeping."

PrimeNic.eth @primenic_eth

“I use multiple Ledgers. Different colours = different uses.Public Wallet. Never touch long term storage. Day to day fund holdings. A back up just in case.”

winny.eth @winnyeth

"I have 3 Ledgers. Hot Wallet: minting/drawings etc. Main wallet: store most NFTs. Vault wallet: cold storage of crypto."

2160 @rekt2160

“I have 5 Ledger total. My personal NFT bag. 1 for testing. And 1 for each of my 3 daughters.”

Fanzo 🧢 11.11.22 @iSocialFanz

"If I could, I would name my Ledger Hagrid. Cause it's the keeper of my keys."

Petrica Butusina @PetricaButusina

"My Ledger is already called "Stew". As it is the steward who looks after my crypto & NFTs, so I can sleep at night."

Lkmland Crypto 💫 @LkmlandCrypto

"Ledger makes cold storage downright easy. My NFTs land infinitely safer and I don’t have to feel as paranoid about connecting to new smart contracts."

FAQ

Find answers to some of the most common questions.

How to secure Zcash tokens?

When you first buy asset, you’re issued with two keys: public and private.

A public key serves as an address that can be shared with other parties to perform transactions.
A private key represents a randomly generated number that signs transactions and protects your assets from malicious attacks. If it gets compromised or lost, you won’t be able to access your crypto wallet to spend, withdraw, or transfer your assets.

To safeguard and keep track of your keys, you can use online or offline wallets. Online wallets, also known as hot wallets, store private keys on systems or devices that are connected to the internet. Hot wallets are easy and convenient to use, however, they come with several drawbacks. Besides being susceptible to attacks and a honeypot for hackers, with hot wallets, the custody of private keys is often entrusted to a third party such as a crypto exchange, which means you never have full control over your funds. The safer choice are specialized hardware wallets that store private keys offline. Stealing private keys from a hardware wallet would require physical access to the wallet and corresponding PIN or the recovery phrase. What’s more, with hardware wallet, you don’t need to rely on third party custodians.
