This repository is a fork of bitcoin core which contains protocol changes to support the Zerocash protocol. This implements an "altcoin" which maintains a separate ledger from the Bitcoin network, for several reasons, the most immediate of which is that the consensus protocol is different.
- Add fungability and security to transactions, primarily via the Zerocash protocol.
- Change the upstream Bitcoin protocol as minimally as possible. This is a usability goal as well as an engineering and security goal.
- Develop and maintain an implementation that's amenable to source and revision history auditing.
