Happy Birthday Zcash! On this day, 28th October 2016, 8 years ago was generated the genesis block of the Zcash blockchain.

Zcash was the first real-world application of zero-knowledge proofs, a novel method by which one party (the prover) can prove to another (the verifier) that a statement is true, without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself.
