What to know about Ethereum and Zcash

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is a programmable blockchain proposed by Vitalik Buterin and launched in 2015. Its native coin, ETH, pays for computation on the network. Thousands of tokens, stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols and NFT collections run on Ethereum.

Sending and receiving ETH

Ethereum addresses start with 0x and are the same format on BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon — so always check which network the recipient expects. The fee (gas) is paid in ETH and depends on network load; a transfer is usually confirmed within a few minutes.

Zcash (ZEC)

Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2016 by the team led by Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn. It was the first widely used coin to apply zero-knowledge proofs, allowing transactions that are verified without revealing their details.

Risks and things to know

Shielded transfers are not supported everywhere, and the coin has lower liquidity than the market leaders. The price is volatile.

Optimism network

Optimism is an Ethereum layer-2 network. Addresses use the Ethereum format and fees are paid in ETH at a fraction of mainnet cost.
