About the Zcash Network

Zcash is a proof-of-work blockchain secured by Equihash mining, with a block target of 75 seconds and a maximum supply of 21 million ZEC. This page tracks the network's vital signs: chain height, hashrate, difficulty, connected peers, and the split of circulating supply between the transparent pool and the Sapling and Orchard shielded pools.

Supply numbers distinguish transparent ZEC (publicly auditable, like Bitcoin) from shielded ZEC (held in zero-knowledge pools where balances are private but the pool totals remain verifiable). Mining pool distribution is derived from coinbase markers and shows how concentrated block production currently is.
