What is Zcoin?

Zcoin (XZC) is a decentralised digital currency which aims to provide better privacy and anonymity for users compared to other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. It is the first cryptocurrency that fully implemented the Zerocoin protocol. Since being developed, Zcoin has maintained a position among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

Zcoin was created in 2013, by Matthew D. Green, who was a professor at Johns Hopkins University, and some of his graduate students. Together, they proposed a cryptographic protocol that would work as an extension of Bitcoin, which could be used to make transactions completely anonymous. In 2016, the protocol was implemented into Zcoin, a new and fully functional cryptocurrency. Zcoin was founded by Poramin Insom, who remains a core developer of the project.

Benefits of Buying Flights with Privacy (XZC)?

Privacy

Zcoin has put stringent measures in place to protect its users' privacy, and is dedicated to ensuring financial privacy. The company’s aim is to provide the strongest level of anonymity possible while maintaining all the advantages associated with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The coin masks its user’s identity through its innovative technologies.


Anonymity

In the Zcoin network, the transaction history of the coin cannot be traced — this is pretty unique to Zcoin. Every Zcoin coin goes through a cycle of burning and minting, which ensures that the past history of a coin is erased. Coins cannot be linked to previous transactions.
