About Zcash
Zcash launched in 2016 from an academic project, and its contribution is a practical one: it made zero-knowledge proofs work at scale on a public blockchain years before that technique became fashionable elsewhere. The point was privacy, but the cryptography has since influenced a great deal beyond it.
How it works
Zcash forked Bitcoin’s basic design and added shielded addresses. A transaction between shielded addresses is recorded on the chain, but sender, recipient and amount are encrypted; a zero-knowledge proof demonstrates the transaction is valid — that the money exists and is not being spent twice — without revealing any of those details. Transparent addresses also exist and behave like Bitcoin’s, which is why privacy here is a choice rather than a default.
Supply
Zcash follows Bitcoin’s monetary shape closely: a hard cap of 21 million ZEC, issued through mining, with the block reward halving on a fixed schedule. For its first years a portion of each block was directed to founders and later to a development fund, which is a meaningful difference from Bitcoin and a long-running source of debate in its community.
What to watch
The share of supply held in shielded addresses is the metric that matters. Privacy in a system like this depends on the size of the anonymity set: if few transactions are shielded, those that are stand out. Also watch exchange listings — several venues in several jurisdictions have delisted privacy coins in response to regulatory pressure, which affects liquidity directly.
Where it is used
Zcash is used where financial privacy is the requirement, and it is worth saying that this is an ordinary need rather than a suspicious one: salaries, business payments and personal balances are not usually public information.
The risks are concrete. Regulatory hostility toward privacy-preserving assets is real and has already cost Zcash access to venues, which can leave holders with thinner liquidity than the market capitalisation implies. Its shielded pool is used by a minority of transactions, so the privacy it offers is weaker in practice than in principle. And the cryptography, while heavily reviewed, is complex enough that flaws have been found and patched before.

The asset 2
What is Zcash?
Zcash launched in 2016 from an academic project, and its contribution is a practical one: it made zero-knowledge proofs work at scale on a public blockchain years before that technique became fashionable elsewhere.
Where can I see how ZEC has moved?
The price chart above is built from daily closes on a verified exchange pair, and every figure on this page states when it was last updated. Our markets dashboard puts this asset beside the rest of the market.
Price and supply 2
What is the price of Zcash today?
$495.93
Read server-side from CoinGecko on a fixed schedule and cached, so it is an indicative reference figure rather than a quote you can trade on — the exact price depends on your venue. Our methodology documents the provider chain and refresh intervals.
How many ZEC are there?
16.78M ZEC
That is the circulating supply — the units actually in the market. The maximum supply is 21,000,000, so the gap between the two is dilution that has not landed yet.
Risk and history 3
How volatile is Zcash?
84.3% annualised
Realised volatility from the last 30 daily closes. The largest peak-to-trough fall inside the 365 days of history we hold is -71.8%. Both measure how far price has already travelled, not which way it goes next.
What has ZEC traded between this month?
$451.75 – $589.18
The lowest and highest prints of the last 30 daily candles, with price currently around 33% of the way up that range. They are simply the extremes of the period — not levels anyone is defending. The technicals section shows the moving averages alongside them.
Is Zcash a good investment?
We do not answer that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose your entire position. Do your own research, size any position so a total loss would not hurt you, and treat every price target you read as the opinion of whoever made it. Our disclaimer sets out our full position.
Not financial advice. Crypto assets are volatile and high-risk. Prices shown are indicative and may be delayed. Always do your own research. Coinpric does not provide financial advice.
