Zcash Ecosystem

Electric Coin Company

Electric Coin Company (ECC), which launched the Zcash protocol in 2016, concluded operations in 2026.

For nearly a decade, ECC played a central role in the development and advancement of Zcash through pioneering research, engineering, and product development that helped establish the ecosystem. In 2026, the full ECC team transitioned to Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL), an independent organization that continues to advance the Zcash protocol and its adoption.

This page is maintained for historical and informational purposes. The Zcash ecosystem continues to be developed by independent organizations and contributors.
