About

A wiki for everything related to Zcash design and implementation.

This repository is a fork of bitcoin core which contains protocol changes to support the Zerocash protocol. This implements the Zcash cryptocurrency, which maintains a separate ledger from the Bitcoin network, for several reasons, the most immediate of which is that the consensus protocol is different.

Getting Started

A good place to start is the Public Alpha Guide.

Understanding the Design

Our specification is a work in progress.

Developer Guidelines

Developer information lives on the dev page.

Other details are in the building, local testing, and public testnet instructions.
