What is Zcash?
The main focus of the Zcash coin is privacy and anonymity. They keep the user anonymous through nodes on their network verifying transactions without exposing any sensitive information. This is possible because it utilises zero-knowledge proof technology, referred to as zK-SNARK. A large amount of cryptocurrencies, including the popular Bitcoin (BTC) are not completely anonymous, although many assume they are. They're actually pseudonymous, as although they don't reveal the identity of the user, they don't protect their public address/addresses from being found through data science and blockchain forensics. Zcash does not make known the sending or receiving address as well as the amount sent, however the user does have the option to opt out of this and make this information known.
Zcash History
The initial development of the coin began in 2013 and was originally based around the Bitcoin codebase. It was officially released in October 2016, where they reached their highest peak within a couple of days, which was just over $5000. The founder of Zcash is entrepreneur Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn, who is an expert in computer security. The development of Zcash is covered by the Electronic Coin Company (ECC), which is also owned by Wilcox-O'Hearn. The growth of Zcash is currently expected to be organic.
