What is Zcash (ZEC)?

Background

Zcash is one of the oldest privacy cryptocurrencies, launched in 2016 by the team that produced the Zerocash academic protocol. It pioneered the production use of zk-SNARKs — zero-knowledge proofs that let users send fully shielded transactions where amounts and addresses stay encrypted, yet the chain can still verify nothing was counterfeited.

ZEC mirrors bitcoin’s economics — a 21 million coin hard cap and halving schedule — while adding optional privacy. Interest in ZEC tends to track the broader debate around financial privacy: exchange delistings pressured it for years, while renewed attention on surveillance and zero-knowledge technology has repeatedly brought capital back to it.

The ZEC on this page is a wrapped representation that tracks the Zcash price on Solana rails, which is what lets it trade with gasless USDC swaps. See the guide to buying ZEC on Higher with Apple Pay or debit funding.
