Zcash Price, Live Chart & Market Cap

Zcash (ZEC) – privacy coin enabling fast, low-fee trading, DeFi wallet support and upcoming staking for yield

Zcash Overview

Zcash is digital cash with optional privacy. Users send ZEC through shielded or transparent addresses, enjoying fungible coin payments, low fees and quick finality. Bridges convert ZEC to wrapped tokens for DeFi yield or NFT shopping while unified addresses simplify wallet UX. With a fixed 21 million supply, audited upgrades and an on-deck Proof-of-Stake transition, Zcash aims to mix top-tier privacy with modern staking and cross-chain utility.

Zcash: Private Payments Powered by zk-SNARKs

Utility & Use Cases ZEC

Confidential Payments

Send payroll, donations or personal transfers privately; sender, receiver and amount remain invisible on-chain.

DeFi Liquidity & Farming

Bridge ZEC to wZEC or renZEC, add it to liquidity pools on DEXs, and earn trading fees or farming yield.

Future On-Chain Staking

The planned PoS upgrade will let holders stake ZEC, secure the network and collect rewards without miners.

Selective Compliance

Share view keys with auditors or exchanges to prove transactions while keeping them hidden from the public.

Zcash Technologies Overview

75-Second Blocks

Quick settlement outpaces Bitcoin, making ZEC practical for everyday payments and cross-exchange transfers.

Low Network Fees

Typical fee is 0.0001 ZEC, so even micro-payments stay profitable and traders can move funds cheaply.

zk-SNARK Privacy

Halo 2 proofs hide transaction data without a trusted setup, delivering strong, scalable confidentiality.

Cross-Chain Bridges

Wrapped ZEC on Ethereum, BSC and Thorchain unlocks lending, swaps and NFT markets while keeping 1:1 backing.

Funding

Electric Coin Company raised ~$3 M from Pantera, DCG and others in 2016 for early development; 2016-2020 block rewards allocated 10 % of supply to founders and investors. Since late 2020 a community-approved Dev Fund redirects 20 % of each block to grants, ECC and the Zcash Foundation, ensuring sustainable, transparent financing without token sales.

Roadmap

NU6 Upgrade Preparation

Code refactor, fee improvements and unified address v2 slated for testnet before Q4 2025.

Hybrid Proof-of-Stake Launch

Crosslink design introduces validator staking to cut energy use and let holders earn yield; target mainnet 2025-2026.

Zcash Shielded Assets

Proposal to mint private tokens and stablecoins directly on Zcash, expanding ecosystem reach post-PoS.

Zcash Security & Audit Reports

Multiple NCC Group and Trail of Bits audits, replay-protection hard forks and an active bug-bounty program keep Zcash code and cryptography battle-tested. No successful 51 % or counterfeit attack has ever reached mainnet.
