Mental model

Understand Zcash as money with better default boundaries

Most digital payment systems leak too much information by default. Zcash exists to improve that tradeoff while still being usable on the public internet.

  • It is digital cash, not just a speculative asset.
  • Privacy protects ordinary users, not only edge cases.
  • Real understanding comes from sending a transaction yourself.
