## ما هي نيكسو (NEXO)؟

نيسكو (Nexo) هي منصة إقراض قائمة على [سلسلة الكتل](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain)، وتقدم للمستخدمين قروضاً فورية مدعومة [بالعملات المشفرة](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-cryptocurrencies). حيث يودع المستخدمون أحد الرموز المشفّرة المقبولة — مثل [بيتكوين](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/bitcoin/) (BTC)، أو [إيثريوم](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/ethereum/) (ETH)، أو [لايتكوين](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/litecoin/) (LTC)، أو [ريبل](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/xrp/) (XRP) — كضمان للحصول على قرض في شكل عملة ورقية أو [عملة مستقرة](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-a-stablecoin).

تمتلك نيكسو رمزها المشفّر الأصلي، NEXO، والذي يمنح المستخدمين مزايا مثل الخصومات على الفائدة المتراكمة على القروض وفرصة الحصول على فائدة على الأموال المودعة. كما يحصل حاملو الرموز المشفّرة على حصة من أرباح نيكسو.

تم [الإعلان](https://medium.com/nexo/nexobank-get-instant-loans-secured-by-digital-assets-2d04c75d25ac) عن المشروع لأول مرة في ديسمبر 2017، وتم [إطلاقه](https://medium.com/nexo/nexo-launches-platform-and-worlds-first-instant-crypto-backed-loans-442b029cca8f) في أبريل 2018.

### من هم مؤسسو نيكسو؟

تأسست [نيكسو](https://nexo.io/) من قبل فريق من المهنيين الماليين وعشاق العملات المشفرة، الذين لجأوا إلى سلسلة الكتل لإنشاء برامج تشفير مكافئة لخدمات راسخة في التمويل التقليدي، ولكنها حتى الآن غير موجودة في التمويل الرقمي — الاقتراض مقابل قيمة أصولك مع الاحتفاظ بالملكية. وفي عام 2018، أطلق الفريق منصة نيكسو، لتكون الأولى التي توفّر خطوط ائتمان بالعملة المشفرة في العالم، وبالتالي تسمح لحاملي الأصول المشفّرة بالحصول على قروض بالعملات الورقية والعملات المستقرة مقابل عملاتهم المشفرة، وبذلك وضعت حجر الأساس لسوق الإقراض في عالم العملات المشفرة.

تتمتع المجموعة التي تقف وراء نيكسو بخبرة مجمعة تزيد عن 30 عاماً في الخدمات المالية، بما في ذلك الإقراض خارج العملات المشفّرة، والخدمات المصرفية الاستثمارية، وعمليات الاندماج والاستحواذ، وصناديق التحوط، مع مساهمة الشريك المؤسس والشريك الإداري، [أنطوني ترينشيف](https://twitter.com/antroninexo)، في القانون المالي وحلول اعرف عميلك ومكافحة غسل الأموال.

حيث يتمتع ترينشيف، الذي عمل كوجه عام لقيادة نيكسو، بسجل حافل في الدعوة إلى اعتماد قاعدة سلسلة الكتل والتشفير على نطاق أوسع، لا سيما كونه عضواً في البرلمان في الجمعية الوطنية لبلغاريا من 2015 إلى 2017، حيث عزز تنفيذ حلول سلسلة الكتل في خدمات الحكومة الإلكترونية، بالإضافة إلى التعليق بشكل متكرر على الأحداث الحالية المتعلقة بالتشفير والتمويل الرقمي لوسائل الإعلام الرئيسية، بما في ذلك [بلومبرغ](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2020-12-11/bitcoin-foundations-are-firm-says-nexo-s-antoni-trenchev-video)، [اندبندنت](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/bitcoin-price-all-time-high-record-b1761235.html)، و[سي ان بي سي](https://www.cnbc.com/video/2019/06/25/hard-for-cryptocurrency-doubters-to-continue-their-cause-expert.html).

تخدم نيكسو حالياً أكثر من مليون مستخدم عبر أكثر من 200 ولاية قضائية، وتدير أكثر من 4 مليارات دولار من الأصول. تضم الشركة حالياً 150 موظفاً، ومقر إدارتها في لندن.

### ما الذي يميّز نيكسو؟

وفقاً للمستند الفني التعريفي ([الورقة البيضاء](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/whitepaper))، فإن نيكسو هي [أول](https://nexo.io/assets/downloads/Nexo-Whitepaper.pdf) مزود على الإطلاق للقروض المشفرة الفورية المدعومة بالعملات المشفرة وتهدف لحل أوجه القصور في سوق الإقراض. تستخدم عملية الإقراض الآلي الخاصة بها [عقوداً ذكية](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) و[أوراكل](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/oracles-in-defi-101-a-deep-dive-by-tellor) على سلسلة الكتل [إيثريوم](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/ethereum/) لإدارة القروض. بعد قيام المستخدم بتحويل العملة المشفرة إلى محفظة يتم التحكم فيها بواسطة نيكسو، تقوم أوراكل بإنشاء القرض ويتم تحويل الأموال للمستخدم على الفور. وعندما يقوم المستخدم بالإيداع من أجل سداد القرض، تقوم أوراكل بإرجاع عملاته المشفرة إليه، وتسجيل المعاملة على سلسلة الكتل. تُستخدم العقود الذكية لتشغيل NEXO وتسجيل أرصدة المستخدمين.

يتم [تسويق](https://nexo.io/assets/downloads/Business-Overview.pdf) نيكسو للمستثمرين الأفراد والمؤسسات وشركات العملات المشفرة والبورصات وعمال المناجم وغيرهم الذين يريدون الاستفادة من [سيولة](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity) أصولهم مع الاحتفاظ بها. تحقق الشركة ربحاً من الفوائد المتراكمة على القروض، كما تقدم خدمات الإقراض والاستشارات المؤسسية.

كما تسعى نيكسو إلى بناء قاعدة مستخدمين من العملاء الذين يواصلون استخدام المنصة ويحافظون على استثمارهم في NEXO. وفي سبيل تحقيق ذلك، أعلنت الشركة عن برنامج ولاء يكافئ أولئك الذين يحتفظون بعملات NEXO، من خلال منحهم أسعار فائدة تفضيلية على [القروض](https://nexo.io/blog/the-loyalty-program-and-how-it-benefits-you-part-1-better-borrowing) وعائدات أعلى على [المدخرات](https://nexo.io/blog/the-loyalty-program-and-how-it-benefits-you-part-2-dynamic-passive-income). [توزع](https://medium.com/nexo/nexo-dividends-explained-6636804db3a) نيكسو أيضاً 30% من أرباحها على حاملي رموز NEXO المشفّرة في شكل أرباح.

### كم عدد عملات نيكسو (NEXO) الموجودة في التداول؟

تحدد نيكسو سقف المعروض الإجمالي عند مليار عملة مشفّرة. وقد تم [تخصيص](https://nexo.io/assets/downloads/NEXO-Token-Terms.pdf) هذا المعروض الإجمالي على النحو التالي:

* 250 مليون NEXO أي (25%) مخصصة لتمويل احتياطيات الشركة، بشرط فترة استحقاق مدتها 12 شهراً مع خط إفراج زمني يمتد على ستة أشهر ؛
* 112.5 مليون NEXO أي (11.25%) للمؤسسين والفريق، بفترة استحقاق ربع سنوية مدتها 48 شهرا ؛
* 60 مليون NEXO أي (6%) لحملات بناء المجتمع والتوزيعات المجانية، مع مراعاة فترة استحقاق ربع سنوية مدتها 18 شهراً ؛
* 52.5 مليون NEXO أي (5.25%) للمستشارين والتكاليف القانونية والتسويق، مع مراعاة فترة استحقاق مدتها 12 شهراً ؛
* 525 مليون NEXO أي (52.5%) للبيع للمستثمرين.

ورغم أن نيكسو خططت في البداية لبيع ما قبل الطرح العام وبيع عام، إلا أنها [ألغت](https://medium.com/nexo/update-on-the-nexo-token-sale-995e9c21e22b) في وقت لاحق مبيعاتها العامة بسبب كمية هائلة من الاهتمام من المستثمرين في بيعها الخاص.

وفي أكتوبر 2020، [أعلنت](https://medium.com/nexo/dispatch-8-nexo-invites-you-to-tokenup-with-nexonomics-bdcb9ef9e38d) الشركة أنها ستطلق مبادرة "[Nexonomics](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-tokenomics)" لتعزيز اقتصاد رمزها المشفّر وزيادة قيمة NEXO. حيث [كشفت](https://nexo.io/blog/nexo-launches-12-million-dollar-buyback-program) الشركة أنها ستعيد شراء NEXO بما قيمته 12 مليون دولار.

### كيف يتم تأمين شبكة نيكسو؟

نكسو هي شركة مملوكة للقطاع الخاص، وعلى هذا النحو، فهي مسؤولة عن أمن شبكاتها وأموال المستخدمين. [تخزن](https://nexo.io/security) نيكسو أصولها الرقمية لدى "BitGo"، وهي منصة حفظ للأصول المشفرة تقوم بتخزينها في محافظ التخزين البارد وتغطيها ببوليصة تأمين بقيمة 100 مليون دولار. في نوفمبر 2019، [أفادت](https://medium.com/nexo/nexo-is-now-iso-iec-27001-2013-certified-c85f04cadcb7) نيكسو أنها حصلت على شهادة الأيزو/آي إي سي 27001:2013 بعد خضوغها للتدقيق من قبل "رينا" واتحاد جودة برامج تكنولوجيا المعلومات.

رمزها المشفّر الأصلي، NEXO، هو رمز قائم على معيار [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) الخاص بسلسلة كتل إيثريوم، مما يعني أن معاملات NEXO على السلسلة يتم التحقق منها وتأمينها بواسطة شبكة إيثريوم الرئيسية باستخدام خوارزمية [توافق](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus) [إثبات العمل](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) (Ethash). يتنافس المُعدنون فيما بينهم لإضافة كتل جديدة إلى سلسلة الكتل، حيث يجب أن تؤكد غالبية العُقد في الشبكة سجلاً للكتلة ليتم نشرها.

ولدى إطلاقها، [أفادت](https://twitter.com/NexoFinance/status/990273324663029760) نيكسو بأن رمزها المشفّر بات "مخففاً بالكامل" أي أن جميع المعروض منه موجود في التداول. وفي نوفمبر 2019، تم [تدقيق](https://github.com/EthereumCommonwealth/Auditing/issues/285#issuecomment-503660872) العقود الذكية بشكل مستقل من قبل شبكة كاستيلو، والتي لم تجد أي مشاكل أمنية حرجة.

### أين يمكنك شراء نيكسو (NEXO)؟

يمكن شراء NEXO من بورصات العملات المشفرة مثل [Huobi Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/huobi-global/) و[UPEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/upex/) و[Hoo](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/hoo/) و[Bitrue](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/bitrue/) وغيرها. حيث يمكن تداولها مقابل العملات الورقية مثل وون كوريا الجنوبية والروبية الهندية، وغيرها من العملات المشفرة مثل [بيتكوين](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/bitcoin) (BTC) و[إيثر](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/ethereum) (ETH)،أو عملات مستقرة مثل [دولار تيثر](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/tether/) (USDT).

KCS is the native token of KuCoin, which was launched back in 2017 as a profit-sharing token that allows traders to draw value from the exchange. It was issued as an ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum network and was supported by most Ethereum wallets. The total supply of KCS was set at 200 million, and there is a planned buyback and burn until just 100 million KCS remain. Sooner or later, as the KuCoin decentralized trading solution goes live, KCS will be the native asset of KuCoin's decentralized financial services as well as the governance token of the KuCoin community in the future.

KuCoin has also announced that “Empowering KCS'' will be a key priority of KuCoin and will build KCS as a killer product rather than a simple token, which is bound to further diversify the benefits that KCS holders can access. In the long run, KCS performs as the key to the entire KuCoin ecosystem. With the development of DEX and KuChain, KCS will also be the underlying fuel and general token for future KuCoin decentralized products. More details will likely be released in the near future.

Tezos is a high-performing blockchain and open-source platform for assets and applications, with a strong focus on code security, on-chain governance, and decentralization. Tezos 2.0, the upcoming step in the evolution of Tezos, aims to improve scalability (via layer 2s), composability, and to implement support to mainstream programming languages (like Javascript, Typescript, Python, and many others).

Initially built with formal verification in mind, the Tezos protocol enables builders to avoid bugs when developing smart contracts, making it particularly suited to applications that require a high degree of security and certainty.

Tezos’ LPoS (Liquid Proof-of-Stake) consensus mechanism enables any stakeholder to take part, directly or by delegation, in the consensus process, and to be rewarded for securing the network. Rather uniquely, Tezos’ on-chain governance system also enables stakeholders to create and vote on protocol upgrade proposals. This pioneering system allows the protocol to self-amend and upgrade itself without leading to a split (or fork) in the blockchain, empowering the community without slowing down innovation.

First proposed in 2014 and launched in 2018, the Tezos Mainnet has a proven track record of running uninterrupted ever since, having earned a strong reputation for technical excellence and a supportive community.

Basic Attention Token, or BAT, is the token that powers a new blockchain-based digital advertising platform designed to fairly reward users for their attention, while providing advertisers with a better return on their ad spend.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Basic Attention Token.

This experience is delivered through the Brave Browser, where users can watch privacy-preserving adverts and receive BAT rewards for doing so. On the other hand, advertisers can deliver targeted ads to maximize engagement and cut down losses due to ad fraud and abuse.

The Basic Attention Token itself is the unit of reward in this advertising ecosystem, and is exchanged between advertisers, publishers and users. Advertisers pay for their advertising campaigns in BAT tokens. Out of this budget, a small portion is distributed to advertisers, while 70% is distributed to users — whereas the intermediaries that typically drive up advertising costs are cut out of the equation to improve cost-efficiency.

Basic Attention Token launched in 2017 following one of the fastest sell-out initial coin offerings (ICOs) of all time, with the platform raising a total of $35 million in under a minute. Since then, it has rolled out its attention-based advertising experience to users in most countries through its Brave Rewards program.

As of November 2020, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada had the most active advertising campaigns.

Basic Attention Token

Cronos (CRO) is the native cryptocurrency token of Cronos Chain — a decentralized, open-source blockchain developed by the Crypto.com payment, trading and financial services company.

Cronos Chain is one of the products in Crypto.com’s lineup of solutions designed to accelerate the global adoption of cryptocurrencies as a means of increasing personal control over money, safeguarding user data and protecting users’ identities. The CRO blockchain serves primarily as a vehicle that powers the Crypto.com Pay mobile payments app.

In the future, Crypto.com plans to expand the reach of the CRO platform to power its other products as well.

CRO went live in November-December 2018.

Celsius (CEL) is an all-in-one banking and financial services platform for cryptocurrency users.

Launched in June 2018, it offers rewards for depositing cryptocurrency, along with services such as loans and wallet-style payments.

Users of the platform receive regular payouts and interest on their holdings. Celsius’ native token, CEL, performs a variety of internal functions, including boosting user payouts if used as the payment currency.

Enjin Coin is a project of Enjin, a company that provides an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products. Enjin's flagship offering is the Enjin Network, a social gaming platform through which users can create websites and clans, chat, and host virtual item stores.

Enjin allows game developers to tokenize in-game items on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses Enjin Coin, an ERC-20 token, to back the digital assets issued using its platform, meaning that items can be bought, sold and traded with real-world value.

Enjin Coin was first announced in July 2017, and it launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2018.

Enjin Coin (ENJ) is a digital store of value used to back the value of blockchain assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Every asset minted with the Enjin Platform contains ENJ, a minting resource which is locked inside NFTs and removed from circulation. Minting blockchain assets with ENJ provides a variety of benefits to creators and users:

Infuses them with a reserve value

Ensures their transparency and scarcity

Gives them instant liquidity

Provides utility in games and apps

Anti-inflationary

Enjin's "melting" functionality allows users to destroy their blockchain assets at any time to retrieve the ENJ value from within.

The Enjin blockchain ecosystem aims to offer software products that make it easy for everyone to develop, trade, monetize, and market with blockchain.

Founded in 2009, Enjin has roots in the gaming industry, with the company’s first product, a gaming community platform called the Enjin Network, growing to 20 million users over the course of a decade.

In 2017 following an ICO, Enjin established itself as a leading blockchain ecosystem developer, building a suite of software products that enable anyone to easily mint, manage, trade, distribute, and integrate blockchain assets.

Enjin’s co-founder Witek Radomski wrote the code for one of the first ever non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and is also the co-author of the ERC-1155 Ethereum token standard.

Built on top of an on-chain infrastructure, the Enjin ecosystem enables game developers and businesses of all sizes to use tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement, and monetization strategies. The Enjin ecosystem is fueled by Enjin Coin (ENJ), a cryptocurrency used to back the value of blockchain assets.

Enjin Coin

Pancakeswap was originally built on the BNB Chain and allows users to trade tokens without using a centralized exchange. It provides an array of products, such as:

An exchange to swap tokens

A yield farm to earn rewards

Syrup pools to stake CAKE tokens

Ethereum liquid staking (wBETH) and simple staking

Pancake Protectors game

v3 position manager (new feature)

A prediction market

Initial Farm Offering (IFO) token launches

A bridge to bridge CAKE to Ethereum and Aptos

A lottery

An NFT marketplace

Pancakeswap innovates quickly and ships new products regularly. In April 2023, PancakeSwap voted to transition to a deflationary token model called "Ultrasound CAKE." The protocol passed a proposal called CAKE Tokenomics v2.5 to create a structure combining real yield (no supply impact) and reduced token emissions. Over 102% of minted CAKE is burned weekly. This is intended to provide a multi-year runway for emissions and incentivize locking up CAKE, making the token more valuable long-term.

PancakeSwap has an anonymous team of “Chefs,” working in the PancakeSwap “Kitchen.” The platform is open-source and has been audited by multiple reputable blockchain security firms like Peckshield and Slowmist.

Although the bear market has impacted TVL and trading volume for the protocol, PancakeSwap still boasts an annualized revenue of $27 million, with 42% of CAKE is staked:

Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based trading and battling game that is partially owned and operated by its players.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Axie Infinity.

Inspired by popular games like Pokémon and Tamagotchi, Axie Infinity allows players to collect, breed, raise, battle and trade token-based creatures known as Axies.

These Axies can take various forms, and there are more than 500 different body parts available, including aquatic, beast, bird, bug, plant and reptile parts. Parts from each type class come in four different rarity scales: common, rare, ultra rare and legendary — and Axies can have any combination of body parts, making them highly variable and often rare and unique.

Each Axie is a non-fungible token (NFT) with different attributes and strengths and can be entered into 3v3 battles, with the winning team earning more experience (exp) points that are used to level up an Axie's stats or evolve their body parts. These Axies can be bred together to produce new and unique offspring, which can be used or sold on the Axie marketplace.

The Axie Infinity ecosystem also has its own unique governance token, known as Axie Infinity Shards (AXS). These are used to participate in key governance votes and will give holders a say in how funds in the Axie Community Treasury are spent.

THORChain is a decentralized liquidity protocol that allows users to easily exchange cryptocurrency assets across a range of networks including Bitcoin and Ethereum without losing full custody of their assets in the process.

With THORChain, users can simply swap one asset for another in a permissionless setting, without needing to rely on order books to source liquidity. Instead, market prices are maintained through the ratio of assets in a pool (see automated market maker.

The native utility token of the THORChain platform is RUNE. This is used as the base currency in the THORChain ecosystem and is also used for platform governance and security as part of THORChain's Sybil resistance mechanisms — since THORChain nodes must commit a minimum of 300k RUNE to participate in its rotating consensus process.

THORChain was funded through an initial DEX offering (IDO) which launched through the Binance DEX in July 2019. Its single-chain chaosnet launched in April 2021, the multi-chain upgrade was launched in April 2021 and Mainnet is now live as of Jun 2022..

Compound is a DeFi lending protocol that allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrencies by depositing them into one of several pools supported by the platform.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Compound.

When a user deposits tokens to a Compound pool, they receive cTokens in return. These cTokens represent the individual’s stake in the pool and can be used to redeem the underlying cryptocurrency initially deposited into the pool at any time. For example, by depositing ETH into a pool, you will receive cETH in return. Over time, the exchange rate of these cTokens to the underlying asset increases, which means you can redeem them for more of the underlying asset than you initially put in — this is how the interest is distributed.

On the flip side, borrowers can take a secured loan from any Compound pool by depositing collateral. The maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio varies based on the collateral asset, but currently ranges from 50 to 75%. The interest rate paid varies by borrowed asset and borrowers can face automatic liquidation if their collateral falls below a specific maintenance threshold.

Since the launch of the Compound mainnet in September 2018, the platform has skyrocketed in popularity, and recently passed more than $800 million in total locked value.

Huobi Token (HT) is the native token of the cryptocurrency exchange Huobi Global. It is a decentralized digital asset based on the Ethereum blockchain and is ERC-20 compliant. HT’s value is in part reliant upon the reputation of the Huobi crypto exchange, yet other factors also have an impact.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Huobi Token.

Huobi Token is a relatively young project. It first launched in January 2018, hot on the heels of the release of a native token on rival crypto exchange Binance. Having its own token allows Huobi to build a flexible marketing strategy in order to attract new users and further grow its platform.

One key function of the token is to reduce commissions for trading operations on the exchange, which are usually paid from users' wallets. Yet the token has much more to offer. Using HT, users can purchase monthly VIP-status plans to receive discounts on transaction fees. Token holders have the right to vote on exchange decisions, can receive crypto rewards for seasonal buybacks, and also get early access to special events. HT holders can, at any point, trade the token for other cryptocurrencies.

Huobi Token

Chiliz is the leading digital currency for sports and entertainment by the eponymous Malta-based FinTech provider. It operates the blockchain-based sports entertainment platform Socios, which enables users to participate in the governance of their favorite sports brands. Multiple fan tokens by Socios.com are an example of that. For sports clubs and associations, fan tokens offer a way of connecting with their fans and unlocking new revenue streams.

For instance, fans can participate and influence club-related decisions through surveys and polls, such as messages the captain should wear on his armband. The company aims to bridge the gap between being an active and a passive fan. Chiliz has developed partnerships with some of the biggest sporting institutions in the world: FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Juventus Turin, and Paris Saint-Germain. It also boasts partnerships with the UFC and gaming organizations. By purchasing CHZ, fans get access to various fan tokens and literally have a stake in their club.

Chiliz

Curve is a decentralized exchange for stablecoins that uses an automated market maker (AMM) to manage liquidity.

Launched in January 2020, Curve is now synonymous with the decentralized finance (DeFi) phenomenon, and has seen significant growth in the second half of 2020.

In August, Curve launched a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), with CRV as its in-house token. The DAO uses Ethereum-based creation tool Aragon to connect multiple smart contracts used for users’ deposited liquidity. Issues such as governance, however, differ from Aragon in their weighting and other respects.

Curve DAO Token

Zcash is a decentralized cryptocurrency focused on privacy and anonymity. It uses the zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proof technology that allows nodes on the network to verify transactions without revealing any sensitive information about those transactions.

Contrary to a common misunderstanding, the majority of cryptocurrencies on the market, including Bitcoin (BTC), are not anonymous, but rather pseudonymous; while they do not explicitly reveal the identities of their users, each user has their own public address or addresses which can be traced back to them via the methods of data science and blockchain forensics.

Zcash transactions, on the other hand, still have to be relayed via a public blockchain, but unlike pseudonymous cryptocurrencies, ZEC transactions by default do not reveal the sending and receiving addresses or the amount being sent. There is an option, however, to reveal this data for the purposes of auditing or regulatory compliance.

Zcash was first released on October 28, 2016, and it was originally based on Bitcoin’s codebase.
