Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that was launched as a fork of Bitcoin in 2016, created by Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn and a team of cryptographers. What makes Zcash unique is its strong emphasis on privacy, enabling users to send transactions without revealing their identities or transaction amounts. This focus on confidentiality has made Zcash popular among users who value anonymity in their cryptocurrency transactions.
Zcash is supported directly in the Trezor Suite and Trezor Suite Lite apps.
Note: Trezor devices only support public transactions using t-addresses. Shielded transactions, which use z-addresses, are NOT compatible with Zcash on Trezor devices.
Zcash works much like Bitcoin, but adds a layer of privacy not inherent in most cryptocurrencies. Through the use of zk-SNARKs, Zcash transactions can be fully shielded, meaning both the sender and receiver, as well as the transaction amount, are encrypted and private.
Trezor users can buy Zcash securely via the “Buy & sell” tab in Trezor Suite. Enter the amount (in fiat currency) you want to spend on Zcash, select a compatible exchange provided by Invity.io, and then follow the necessary steps to complete the purchase.
Mining Zcash (ZEC) involves using your computer's processing power to solve complex mathematical puzzles and contribute to the validation of transactions on the Zcash blockchain. Miners require specialized software and hardware, and of course a Zcash wallet to recieive and store the mined ZEC. Many miners also join mining pools, which combine the computational power of multiple miners to increase the likelihood of solving blocks and earning rewards. Further information on mining Zcash can be found in the Zcash community documentation.
All Trezor hardware wallets support Zcash (ZEC), offering users a secure and user-friendly solution for managing their assets.
