Zcash

Explore Zcash, a privacy-focused blockchain using zero-knowledge proofs. Build confidential decentralized applications using its RPC gateway.

The Zcash RPC documentation provides developers with a comprehensive guide to interact programmatically with the Zcash blockchain. Zcash is a privacy-focused blockchain that uses zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) to provide enhanced transaction privacy while maintaining a decentralized network. The documentation includes API endpoints for querying blockchain data, submitting transactions, and managing wallets with shielded addresses for privacy. Zcash is ideal for developers building confidential decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects requiring privacy.
