Anonymous Transactions
﻿
Anonymous transactions are an optional feature. A minimum of 8 GB of RAM is required with a few minutes to sign in and send an anonymous transaction.
﻿
Core Technology
﻿
The zk-SNARK protocol, was invented in 2014 and implemented in 2016 with Zcash. It is relatively new and has yet to undergo the test of time which other privacy cryptos have seen i.e. Monero.
﻿
Distribution Mechanism
﻿
Mining of Zcash is taxed for 4 years and there is a lack of transparency around the reward percentage each entity will receive.
﻿
Governance Mechanism
﻿
It differs to most cryptocurrencies as a company that takes care of its departments i.e. security and inflation.
﻿
Partnerships
﻿
J.P.Morgan has adopted Zcash to provide a new layer of privacy to its enterprise-grade blockchain called Quorum.
﻿
I have provided recommended reading to help you to understand Zcash further.
