About Zcash
Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that lets users choose between transparent transactions (like Bitcoin) and fully shielded, private ones using advanced 'zero-knowledge' cryptography, which can prove a transaction is valid without revealing its details. Built on technology derived from Bitcoin, it aims to offer optional financial privacy. Like other privacy coins, it has faced regulatory scrutiny and exchange delistings in some jurisdictions. Zcash is respected for its cryptography but is a smaller, high-risk, volatile cryptocurrency, and South African availability may be affected by the regulatory treatment of privacy-focused assets.
