Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that offers enhanced security and anonymity for its users. It uses advanced cryptographic techniques, such as zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs), to enable shielded transactions, where transaction details like sender, receiver, and amount can remain private. Zcash also supports transparent transactions, similar to Bitcoin, allowing users to choose between privacy and transparency. It aims to provide a secure, decentralized digital currency with strong privacy features.

With Kryptos, you can easily track your Zcash wallet in real-time and gain insights into your holdings, generate holdings and tax reports, and manage your portfolio.
