ARTICLE X - HOW TO USE ZCASH's NATIVE COIN (ZEC)
To get started with spending ZEC, you need to first download a secure and compatible non-custodial wallet like Zashi Wallet or Trust Wallet.
After this, you can proceed to purchase ZEC on reputable exchanges such as Binance, Kraken, or Coinbase, and transfer it to your non-custodial wallet afterwards to avoid third-party risks.
To conduct a shielded transaction on the @Zcash network, generate a z-address in your wallet and use it to shield the metadata of your ZEC transaction, which includes sender, receiver, and amount.
While transparent transactions, conducted using t-addresses, are faster and widely supported, they expose your transaction metadata, so they should be reserved for non-sensitive transfers.
Zcash's growing ecosystem includes payment gateways that make ZEC increasingly practical for real-world purchases, with some wallets offering integrated exchange features that simplify the process of spending ZEC in the real world.
For compliance checks or audits, you can utilize Zcash's view key feature to selectively disclose shielded transaction metadata to trusted parties, such as accountants or regulators.
It is important to note that you must always store your view keys securely to prevent unauthorized, nefarious elements from accessing your transaction history.
To maximize privacy, ensure you conduct your ZEC transactions while using anonymity tools like VPNs or Tor Browser, and avoid linking your wallet address to accounts tied to your real-world identity.
With all of these tips in mind, you can confidently use ZEC with the guarantee that your on-chain privacy is preserved to the maximum🫡
Stay tuned for the next article, where I dispel the misconception of Zcash having a backdoor.
