Firo is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency implementing zero-knowledge proofs to enable anonymous transactions while maintaining decentralization and auditability. Formerly known as Zcoin, Firo pioneered several innovations in privacy tech including the Lelantus protocol, which enables unlinkable and untraceable transactions without the need for trusted setup. It combines cutting-edge cryptographic research with user-friendly features, making it accessible to both everyday users and privacy advocates. ...

...Like Bitcoin, Zcash transaction data is posted to a public blockchain. However unlike Bitcoin, your personal and transaction data stay completely private. Thanks to a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme, transactions can be verified without showing any information at all about the sender, receiver or transaction amount. Selective disclosure features are available for users who may need these for compliance or audit purposes. Zcash was built by top cryptographers, with an underlying protocol based on the research of scientists from MIT, Technion, Johns Hopkins, Tel Aviv University and UC Berkeley.
