Zcash is private, unstoppable money at scale.
Privacy is achieved through end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs.
Systems like Monero attempt privacy by mixing in fake transactions with real ones. This decoy-based security fails in practice.
Historically, scaling private ZK systems was considered impossible. But breakthroughs with Project Tachyon solve scalability for the first time.
Let’s go to infinity hero.

Freedom and safety begin with privacy.
No one should be forced to expose their income, spending, or net worth just to transact.
Not to corporations. Not to governments. Not to red teams. Not to anyone.
When your money is tracked, your freedom is capped and your safety is put at risk.
Surveillance money gives tyrants and thugs leverage. Private money disarms them.
Privacy isn’t secrecy. It’s autonomy and safety.
Zcash uses zero knowledge proofs, specifically zk-SNARKs, to enable fully private transactions.
Unlike Monero, which uses decoys to obscure the real transaction, Zcash transactions reveal nothing (hence the “zero” in zero knowledge).
The sender, receiver, and amount are all cryptographically hidden.
Old-school zk-SNARKs were heavy, slow, and required trust. Zcash evolved past them.
With the Halo 2 proof system and soon Project Tachyon, Zcash can now scale to billions without servers knowing anything, without compromising speed.
