What is Zcash?
--------------
[Zcash](https://z.cash/) is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol.
Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy
2016-11-03 21:07:56 -07:00
through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves
confidentiality of transaction metadata. Technical details are available
in our [Protocol Specification](https://github.com/zcash/zips/raw/master/protocol/protocol.pdf).
This software is the Zcash client. It downloads and stores the entire history
of Zcash transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network
connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the
block chain has reached a significant size.
Security Warnings
-----------------
See important security warnings in
[doc/security-warnings.md](doc/security-warnings.md).
**Zcash is unfinished and highly experimental.** Use at your own risk.
