Abstract: | Zcash is a cryptocurrency that uses zero-knowledge proofs to provide increased privacy to its users by not publishing transactions transparently in the blockchain. In this analysis we study the problem of privacy in cryptocurrencies, and the solution provided by Zcash. We analyze Zcash's predecessors, the tools that are available today, its data structures and mechanics at the level of transactions and mining. We also dedicate a chapter to the introduction of the zk-SNARKs, the new zero-knowledge proofs that are much more efficient in size and verification time, and we study the character of its community and how it plans its future. |
Keywords: | zero-knowledge proofs blockchain Zcash |
