It supports transparent transactions, where amounts are visible on-chain, and shielded transactions that use zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) to validate payments without publishing the sender, recipient and amount. Zcash’s privacy features include shielded pools (Sprout legacy, Sapling and Orchard), Unified Addresses that bundle multiple receiver types and selective disclosure tools such as viewing keys and payment disclosures. ZEC is used to transfer value and pay transaction fees. New ZEC is issued through the block subsidy; since the 2024 halving, a portion of block rewards has been allocated to development funding streams defined by network upgrades and ZIPs, including Zcash Community Grants and a lockbox seeded coinholder-controlled fund.”
