Zcash (ZEC) is a decentralised cryptocurrency built on zero-knowledge cryptography - specifically zk-SNARKs - enabling fully private transactions where sender, receiver, and amount are all hidden.
Launched in 2016 and grounded in the Zerocash academic paper, ZEC uses the Equihash proof-of-work algorithm and shares Bitcoin's 21 million coin supply cap. Mining ZEC secures this privacy-first network while generating ZEC rewards for operators.

Three metrics determine whether a Zcash miner is worth buying. Master them and no vendor can mislead you.
Sol per watt determines your electricity cost per ZEC mined. Higher is always better. The Z15 Pro's 302 Sol/W means it earns more ZEC per dollar of electricity than every competing miner.
Your Sol/s determines your percentage of total network hashrate and therefore your proportional share of daily ZEC rewards. More hashrate = more ZEC, but also more electricity consumption.
Hardware price divided by monthly profit gives your ROI period in months. Lower electricity costs and higher ZEC prices dramatically accelerate payback. Use our calculator to model ROI for any scenario.
We're launching a curated selection of vetted ZEC ASIC miners - including the Antminer Z15 Pro - with expert setup support and fast delivery. Join the waiting list for launch pricing.
