1. Project Introduction
Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-preserving cryptocurrency, launched in 2016 as a fork of the Bitcoin codebase. Zcash allows users to send "shielded" transactions, which use advanced cryptographic techniques called zk-SNARKs to enable encryption of sender, recipient, and amount details, while still allowing the network to verify transactions. Zcash also supports transparent transactions for users who prefer or require auditability.
