How does Zcash work?

What sets Zcash apart from other cryptocurrencies is its implementation of zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge).

These are cryptographic proofs that enable the verification of transactions without revealing the details of the transaction itself. This technology allows Zcash users to shield the sender, recipient, and transaction amount, providing strong privacy guarantees.

However, it's important to note that Zcash offers optional privacy features. While shielded transactions provide anonymity, users can also conduct transparent transactions similar to Bitcoin, which are visible on the blockchain. This optional feature allows for compliance with regulatory requirements and promotes wider adoption. Traders have a chance to learn more about how to invest in ZECUSD on the SimpleFX platform.
