ZEC on public t-addresses (t1, t3). Addresses and amounts are visible to everyone, like Bitcoin.
Sprout12,224.21094946 ZEC · 0.07%
The first shielded pool (old z-addresses starting zc). Since the Canopy upgrade (block 1,046,400) ZEC can only leave it, not enter it (ZIP 211).
Sapling419,524.29332903 ZEC · 2.46%
Shielded pool added in the Sapling upgrade (block 419,200): z-addresses starting zs1, and unified addresses with a Sapling receiver.
Orchard320,960.26438742 ZEC · 1.88%
Shielded pool added in NU5 (block 1,687,104), used by unified addresses (u1) with an Orchard receiver. Its proofs (Halo 2) need no trusted setup.
Lockbox75,912.99976407 ZEC · 0.45%
Part of each block subsidy since NU6 (block 2,726,400) that the protocol sets aside in a lockbox (ZIP 1015) instead of paying it to an address.
Ironwood4,183,202.80477727 ZEC · 24.55%
Shielded pool of version 6 transactions, added with NU6.3 (block 3,428,143). Like Orchard, it moves value in shielded actions and publishes only each transaction's net value balance.
Percentages are of the total supply at this block. Each total is the node's own sum of every transaction's value balance for that pool since it started.
FAQFrequently asked questions

Right now 4,935,911 ZEC (29.0% of the 17,038,481 ZEC in circulation) is in the shielded pools: 4,183,202 in Ironwood, 320,960 in Orchard, 419,524 in Sapling, 12,224 in Sprout. These are the node's own totals for block 3,566,997.
What is the total Zcash supply?
17,038,481 ZEC exist at block 3,566,997. The protocol caps the supply at 21,000,000 ZEC, issued as block subsidies that halve about every four years (see the
Zcash halving).
How does the explorer know the pool totals if shielded amounts are hidden?
Each transaction publishes its net value balance for every shielded pool, so nodes can add up how much value went into and out of each pool without seeing any individual amount, address or memo.
Can GhostSwap send ZEC to a shielded address?
No. GhostSwap sends ZEC to transparent addresses (t1 or t3). Move it into a shielded address in your own wallet afterwards if you want it private.
