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 Litecoin?

Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest and most established cryptocurrencies, created in 2011 as a faster and lighter alternative to Bitcoin. With 2.5-minute block times (4x faster than BTC) and significantly lower fees, Litecoin is well-suited for everyday payments and quick transfers. LTC was also one of the first major cryptocurrencies to activate SegWit and the Lightning Network, and more recently adopted MimbleWimble Extension Blocks for optional transaction privacy. Litecoin's long track record and wide exchange support make it one of the most liquid digital assets available. Convert LTC to other coins on GhostSwap with no KYC and competitive exchange rates.
