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.

QuestionZerocoin: Anonymous Distributed E-Cash from Bitcoin
What the text proposesA 2013 proposal to add an anonymity layer on top of Bitcoin by burning a coin into a commitment and later redeeming a different coin with a zero-knowledge proof of membership.
Who may writeIan Miers, Christina Garman, Matthew Green, Aviel D. Rubin
What is settledMint: lock a base-layer coin and publish a commitment.
Load-bearing assumptionThis is not the Zcash protocol. Zerocash, the following year, replaces the construction.
What this library says afterwardsThe paper does not claim production performance on Bitcoin as it existed in 2013.
