What is Zcash?
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to
|
|
offer a far higher standard of privacy and anonymity through a sophisticiated zero-knowledge
|
|
proving scheme which preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata.
|
|
|
|
**Zcash is unfinished and highly experimental.** Use at your own risk.
|

Participation in the Zcash project is subject to a [Code of Conduct](code_of_conduct.md).
