Zcash vs Etherlink

The Zcash network is decentralized, self-funded and built with cutting-edge cryptography. Zcash is a cryptocurrency built to empower economic freedom. It is similar to Bitcoin in its design — in fact, Zcash was created from the original Bitcoin code base — but it uses a privacy technology that encrypts transaction information and allows users to shield their assets.

Etherlink is an EVM-compatible, non-custodial Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollup technology. It enables seamless integration with existing Ethereum tools, including wallets and indexers, and facilitates asset transfers to and from other EVM-compatible chains. Built upon the secure foundation of Tezos layer 1, Etherlink delivers a fast, fair, and (nearly) free experience. This permissionless and censorship-resistant environment empowers developers to actively create and participate in the next generation of decentralized applications.
