Long before Zcash existed, its roots were already being formed in the earliest days of digital money.
This Zcash Media documentary explores the ideas, people and cryptographic breakthroughs that eventually led to Zcash — including Zooko’s involvement in digital currency research long before $ZEC launched.
One particularly remarkable piece of history: Zooko published “Decentralized Money” on January 26, 2009 — just weeks after Bitcoin went live.
The documentary traces the evolution from early cypherpunk ideas and Bitcoin to zero-knowledge cryptography and the creation of a cryptocurrency designed to give users something transparent blockchains cannot provide by default:
Financial privacy.
With Zcash receiving renewed attention today, the history behind the project is worth understanding.
