The code of Zcash is open source and uses ZK-Snarks technology to secure transactions on its network which allows them to maintain an up-to-date and secure account log while retaining anonymous information about users and amounts exchanged during transactions. The token will be issued to a maximum of 21 million copies, like Bitcoin. Its mining perspective is that a block of Zcash is discovered every 2 minutes 30 seconds, against 10 minutes for Bitcoin.
The ZEC token which is based on a protocol called Zero-Knowledge proof allows the anonymisation of financial exchanges. Which basically is to erase the history of the token at the time of the transaction.
