What is ZEC?
ZEC is the token of the Zcash network. Interestingly, ZEC has the same maximum supply as Bitcoin - capped at 21 million tokens.
Unlike many other tokens, Zcash did not conduct an ICO — yet, it hit its All-Time-High just one day after its release on October 29th, 2016 at $5,941.80 per token. ZEC prices continued to experience high volatility over the years, falling to its lowest prices at $18.94 on March 13, 2020, the same day Bitcoin and several other altcoins suffered a dramatic price plunge.
ZEC prices have recovered since the plunge and are seeing 130% in YTD gains. ZEC is currently trading at $151.78 USD on Coinhako at the time of writing.

What is Zcash?
Founded in October 2016 by Zooko Wilcox-O’Hearn, a computer security expert and founder of Electronic Coin Company (ECC), Zcash is a decentralised blockchain network that aims to provide anonymity for its users.
Compared to other cryptocurrencies, Zcash is able to maintain greater user privacy via the use of zk-SNARK (“Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) technology, which enables the verification of transactions on the network, without revealing sensitive information about each transaction.
How does this work?
Unlike its predecessors like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Zcash is one digital currency that offers users a higher level of privacy.
ZEC transactions are either transparent or shielded, and this is made possible by having two types of Zcash addresses - Private (z-addresses) or transparent (t-addresses). Four types of transactions can take place using z-addresses and t-addresses.
A Z-to-Z transaction — a transaction between private addresses — will be shown on the public blockchain but will not display key information such as the addresses, transaction amount and memo field. Such sensitive information is encrypted via the use of zero-knowledge proofs.
For regulatory or compliance purposes, the owner of a z-addresses may choose to disclose transaction details with trusted third parties.
A T-to-T transaction is more similar to the Bitcoin transactions that many of us are familiar with; the details of the transaction, such as sender and receiver information and transaction value are visible on the public blockchain.
Because z-addresses and t-addresses are interoperable, this enables Z-to-T transactions and vice versa.
