What is Zcash?

Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that pioneered the use of zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) in blockchain technology. Unlike Monero where privacy is mandatory, Zcash gives users the choice between transparent transactions (publicly visible, like Bitcoin) and shielded transactions (fully private — hiding sender, receiver, and amount). This flexibility makes Zcash suitable for users who want privacy when they need it while maintaining the option for transparent compliance. ZEC has been instrumental in advancing cryptographic research that now underpins many Layer 2 scaling solutions. Swap ZEC on GhostSwap for a private exchange experience — no KYC, no account, no trace.

What is Kaspa?

Kaspa (KAS) is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency that uses a blockDAG (directed acyclic graph) structure called GHOSTDAG, allowing multiple blocks to be created simultaneously rather than sequentially. This innovation dramatically increases transaction throughput while maintaining the security of proof-of-work mining. Kaspa can process 1 block per second with near-instant confirmations, making it one of the fastest PoW networks in existence. KAS is mined using a GPU-friendly algorithm, making it accessible to individual miners. Swap KAS on GhostSwap to exchange Kaspa for any supported cryptocurrency — no KYC, no registration, no intermediaries.
