It was launched in 2014, and has since gained a good following and increased its market cap by more than 2000%<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zcash, on the other hand, was released during the crypto boom of 2017. Needless to say, its value has drastically fallen which disappointed a lot of early investors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another problem with Zcash is that the mining protocol has implemented a \u201cdeveloper tax\u201d. This means that developers get 20% of all mined coins to help them work on the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This decision has been met with heavy criticism as no one wants to pay an arbitrary tax on their mining efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Privacy and Security<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both coins propose imperfect solutions &#8211; Zcash with its ZK-SNARKs and Monero with the combination of stealth addresses, ring signatures, and RingCT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While both seem to do a good job at first glance, their flaws have been exposed previously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that you can opt-out of a shielded transaction makes Zcash more flexible. However, it also exposes a major flaw. Users swapping from a public to a private blockchain can leak key metadata, which may undermine anonymity for all users.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scaling and Fees<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zcash uses the same consensus mechanism as Bitcoin. We\u2019ve already seen that this PoW system is far from ideal once the network grows larger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monero updated their consensus algorithm in October 2019. This allowed them to reduce fees by 80% and speed up transactions to an average of 2 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, one positive point for Zcash is that the developers are currently working on BOLT, a privacy-centric version of the Lightning Network. This will allow Zcash to scale for faster transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With maximum privacy in mind, <strong>Monero remains the better choice<\/strong>. Both coins have interesting technologies, but the popularity of the Monero privacy coin puts it a step ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summing up<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through different cryptographic technologies, privacy coins keep their financial history hidden. While regulations seem inevitable and could make their future uncertain, they remain the best way to maintain your privacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s a well-established project like Monero or a promising newcomer like Beam, privacy coins still have a place in our portfolio.
