Overview
Zcash is a privacy and anonymity-focused decentralized cryptocurrency that uses zero-knowledge cryptography to provide anonymous value transfer. It employs the zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proof technology, which allows network nodes to verify transactions without disclosing any sensitive information.
The protocol allows users to choose whether transactions are shielded, in which case they are fully anonymous, or transparent, in which case they are accessible on the Zcash blockchain.

Technology
The SHA-256 hash function, which is part of the SHA-2 series of algorithms, is used to protect the Zcash network. Zcash is a technology that stores unspent transaction output (UTXO) transfers in a distributed, time-stamped ledger in an append-only chain of 2MB data blocks. It employs a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus process.
