What is Zcash?

Store it, spend it or send it. Zcash is a digital currency — and a store of value — that keeps all your financial information private and in your control.

Zcash is a cryptocurrency built to empower economic freedom. It is similar to Bitcoin in its design — in fact, Zcash was created from the original Bitcoin code base — but it uses a privacy technology that encrypts transaction information and allows users to shield their assets. Zcash was conceived by scientists at MIT, Johns Hopkins, and other respected academic and scientific institutions. You can buy or trade Zcash on most major exchanges, like Gemini and Coinbase.
