Electric Coin Company
Electric Coin Co. (ECC) created and launched the Zcash digital currency in 2016. Today — along with other independent teams and developers — ECC continues to support the Zcash community through product development, awareness and adoption, and various types of research. ECC is widely known to be one of the strongest cryptography teams in the world. In 2016, it was the first to successfully deploy zero-knowledge cryptography in a real-world application (Zcash), and in 2022, ECC engineers discovered Halo, a novel, recursive zero-knowledge proving mechanism that, for the first time, delivers truly trustless blockchain encryption and improved scalability. There are dozens of teams on various independent projects working to implement Halo in their own releases.
