+\begin{abstract}
+\normalsize \noindent \textbf{Abstract.}
+\Zcash is an implementation of the \term{Decentralized Anonymous Payment}
+scheme \Zerocash, with security fixes and adjustments
+to terminology, functionality and performance. It bridges the existing
+\emph{transparent} payment scheme used by \Bitcoin with a
+\emph{shielded} payment scheme secured by zero-knowledge succinct
+non-interactive arguments of knowledge (\zkSNARKs). It attempts to
+address the problem of mining centralization by use of the Equihash
+memory-hard proof-of-work algorithm.
+
+\vspace{0.5ex}
+This specification defines the \Zcash consensus protocol and explains
+its differences from \Zerocash and \Bitcoin.
