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 Pepe?

Pepe (PEPE) is a meme cryptocurrency on Ethereum inspired by the iconic Pepe the Frog internet meme. Launched in 2023, PEPE quickly became one of the most traded meme coins, reaching billions in market cap driven by community enthusiasm and viral social media momentum. As a pure meme token with no built-in utility beyond community and speculation, PEPE represents the cultural side of crypto — where internet culture and financial markets intersect. PEPE runs on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token, so standard gas fees apply to transfers. Exchange PEPE on GhostSwap to swap between meme coins and other assets anonymously — no KYC needed.
