What is Zcash?
--------------

[Zcash](https://z.cash/) is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol.
Initially based on Bitcoin's design, Zcash intends to offer a far
higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge
proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction
metadata. More technical details are available in our [Protocol
Specification](https://zips.z.cash/protocol/protocol.pdf).
