Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Zcash protocol specification |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | The Zcash protocol specification is the document that defines shielded notes, nullifiers, and the consensus rules around them. It is not the Zerocash paper, and it is not a marketing page. |
| Who may write | Electric Coin Company and Zcash contributors |
| What is settled | Shielded transfers spend notes and reveal nullifiers. The spec defines the bytes. |
| Load-bearing assumption | This note does not restate the circuit. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the project's public design document. Not a copy, not a benchmark, and not an offer. |
