Understand

Zcash is a fork of Bitcoin with optional anonymity features.

While transparent transactions are fully linkable, shielded transactions use zero-knowledge proofs to obscure the parties and amounts of the transactions.
First, we observe various metrics regarding the usage of shielded addresses.
Moreover, we show that most coins sent to shielded addresses are later sent back to transparent addresses.
