Zcash is a secure digital currency that helps protect your privacy. With Zcash, there are two types of addresses:

• Transparent addresses: Transactions with transparent addresses, or t-addresses, can be tracked on the Zcash blockchain the same way Bitcoin can.
• Shielded addresses: Shielded addresses, or z-addresses, use zero-knowledge proofs to hide the sender, receiver, and amount of a transaction from the public blockchain.

If a t-address sends funds to a z-address, observers won’t be able to tell where they went. If a z-address sends a transaction to another z-address the transaction is entirely shielded from prying eyes, offering one of the most private and secure options on the market.

Brave Wallet supports shielded addresses in 1.77x and above. Android and iOS are unavailable at this time.
