Zcash price prediction
Zcash uses zero-knowledge cryptography to hide who sent what to whom, so ZEC swings on a single question: does the market want financial privacy this quarter? The answer owes more to regulatory mood than to any chart pattern.
What is Zcash (ZEC)?
Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-oriented cryptocurrency that originated as a fork of the Bitcoin codebase and launched in 2016. It uses zero-knowledge proofs known as zk-SNARKs to enable optional "shielded" transactions that conceal the sender, recipient, and amount, while also supporting transparent addresses similar to Bitcoin. The protocol was developed by the Electric Coin Company, with the nonprofit Zcash Foundation supporting its ecosystem. Like Bitcoin, it uses a proof-of-work consensus mechanism and has a capped maximum supply of 21 million coins.
