Discover ZEC

We curate news from a variety of sources to create concise notes, audio clips and a visual montage that ultimately makes the Zcash Community more discoverable on the internet.

Discuss ZEC

Anonymizing avatars may help invite new people in live discussions as we promote the new stuff we find in the ever-growing Zcash community.

Daily Use of ZEC

Hosting show notes and "content contests" on ZECpages helps onboard new Zcash users every week and grow the shielded pool
