About Zcash

Zcash copies Bitcoin's economics — 21 million coins, proof-of-work, halvings roughly every four years — and adds shielded transactions built on zk-SNARKs. Addresses come in two kinds: transparent ones that behave like Bitcoin's, and shielded ones where amounts and parties are hidden. Because shielding is optional rather than mandatory, the share of supply actually held in the shielded pool is a metric the community watches closely.

Fees are small in absolute terms; shielded transactions are heavier to construct than transparent ones but still cost far less than an Ethereum transaction.

ZEC trades on privacy-regulation and exchange-listing news as much as on crypto beta, and has a history of long flat stretches broken by very fast repricings.
