Review on Zcash by Davis Marvel O'cho
What is Zcash?
Until now, integrating anonymous payments into mobile apps was complicated, not least because of the large amount of data needed to hide transactions. This solution should therefore be welcome in the Zcash ecosystem, which already includes several mobile wallets.
The Zcash network includes two types of addresses. On the one hand, "normal" addresses, which are similar to those used on the Bitcoin network (BTC): they are called "t" (transparent) addresses. Then the hidden addresses, which allow anonymous transactions: these are "z" addresses. These are the latter that can now be used more easily on mobile.
Pros
- The sender's address is hidden.
- The recipient's address is hidden.
- The amount sent is hidden.
Cons
- Zcash uses a new form of cryptography. No one can guarantee that there will be no errors in the system that will allow transactions to come out of anonymity or create coins out of thin air, unless they have been tested for years .
