Decode the blockchain.
Protect the user.
CipherScan is a privacy-first Zcash blockchain explorer. Not just a block browser — a tool for understanding, analyzing, and visualizing what privacy means on-chain. Making the invisible visible without compromising individuals.
Created by Kenbak
Built at Zypherpunk
Created at the world's first Zcash privacy hackathon. 300+ projects. Won 4 tracks: Project Tachyon, Gemini, Raybot, and Network State. From zero to a working explorer in days.
Browser-Native Decryption
First frontend WASM-powered Zcash transaction decoder. Decrypt shielded memos entirely in-browser — no server, no keys shared, no trust required.
Privacy Risks & Batch Patterns
Advanced deshielding pattern detection and linkability analysis. Identifying on-chain behaviors that compromise Zcash privacy — and making that data accessible to everyone.
ZCG Grant Awarded
Funded by the Zcash Community Grants program. Community recognition that privacy visibility infrastructure is essential for the ecosystem.
More to come.
Zcash has the strongest privacy technology in crypto. But privacy is invisible by default — that's the point. The problem: if you can't see it, you can't understand it, measure it, or improve it.
CipherScan makes privacy visual, understandable, and accessible to all — developers, researchers, and everyday users. We show the shielded pool's health, detect patterns that risk privacy, and provide the tools to explore a blockchain designed to be private.
Open source. Community funded.
CipherScan is fully open source and funded by the Zcash community. Contributions, issues, and feedback are welcome.
