What to know about Zcash and Bitcoin

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.

Sending and receiving ZEC

Transparent addresses start with t1, while unified and shielded addresses start with u1 or zs. Many exchanges accept only transparent addresses, so check which type the recipient supports before sending.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency. It was described in a 2008 white paper by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto and launched in January 2009. Bitcoin has no issuer or central operator: the rules are enforced by thousands of independent nodes, and the supply is capped at 21 million coins.

What Bitcoin is used for

Bitcoin is mostly held as a long-term store of value and used as the base asset of the crypto market: most trading pairs, indices and derivatives are priced against it. It is also used for cross-border transfers and, through the Lightning Network, for small fast payments.
