About Zcash (ZEC)
Privacy coinZcash (ZEC) is a privacy cryptocurrency built on zero-knowledge proofs, offering both transparent addresses and fully shielded transactions that reveal nothing about sender, receiver or amount.
The story behind Zcash
Zcash launched in October 2016 from the Zerocash academic research of Matthew Green and colleagues, with Zooko Wilcox leading the founding company. Its initial trusted setup ceremony was a landmark cryptographic event, and later upgrades — Sapling, Halo 2 and the Orchard shielded pool — removed that trusted setup and made shielding practical on mobile devices.
What ZEC is used for
ZEC is used for confidential payments and savings, with users choosing per transaction whether to shield the amount and addresses involved. Its zero-knowledge technology has been influential far beyond the coin itself, underpinning much of today's rollup and scaling cryptography.
Zcash in the market today
Zcash shares the top of the privacy category with Monero, differing in that its privacy is optional, which has kept it listed on more regulated exchanges even as regulatory pressure on privacy-preserving assets in general has increased.

Fees and pricing
Zero added fees: Monivo does not add a platform fee, a minimum or a withdrawal charge — the rate you see is the rate you get. Blockchain network fees are shown in full before you confirm, and the final amount you receive is quoted up front.
Monivo does not add a separate fee or markup to the provider quote. Monivo may earn a commission from the liquidity provider when a completed swap is referred through our platform. Provider spreads and applicable network costs are reflected in the quoted amount.
Network fees are set by the blockchain, not by Monivo. No account, no subscription and no withdrawal charge. Live support is available 24/7.
