Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that uses trustless zero-knowledge proofs to enable fully encrypted transactions while maintaining blockchain transparency and security. It was the first cryptocurrency to implement zero-knowledge encryption for private peer-to-peer payments, addressing the fundamental privacy gap in traditional cryptocurrencies that expose transaction details publicly.   With a fixed supply of 21 million ZEC and a halving schedule similar to Bitcoin, Zcash allows users to prove transactions are valid without revealing sensitive information like wallet balances, transaction amounts, or participant identities, making it suitable for everyday payments, long-term savings, and cross-border money transfers where financial confidentiality matters.  The protocol operates on its own blockchain currently using Proof-of-Work consensus, though it's evolving toward Proof-of-Stake through the planned "Crosslink" upgrade to enhance security, scalability, and energy efficiency. Zcash employs trustless zero-knowledge proofs (Halo) within its Orchard shielded pool to verify transactions without revealing sender, receiver, or amount information.   Users can choose between transparent public transactions and shielded private transactions through Unified Addresses, which work with both types. The network is faster and cheaper than Bitcoin, with new blocks mined every 75 seconds and transaction fees typically just a fraction of a cent. Privacy adoption has surged in 2025, with over 30% of total ZEC supply now held in fully shielded pools.  Zcash was created by a group of scientists in 2013 who initially proposed Zerocoin as a privacy extension to Bitcoin before building a standalone protocol. The ecosystem operates with a self-funded development model where block rewards support independent teams through the Zcash Community Grants Committee and a new Coinholder-Controlled Fund.

Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang praised the custom chip powering Nintendo’s (NTDOY) upcoming Switch 2 console on Tuesday, calling it the most advanced graphics solution ever developed for a mobile device.In a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1929886108113932624">video</a> posted by Nintendo ahead of the console’s launch Thursday, Huang said the Switch 2 integrates “three breakthroughs”–full hardware ray tracing, high dynamic range support, and a new architecture enabling backward compatibility.“It’s unlike anything we’ve built before,” Huang said. He added that the console includes dedicated artificial intelligence processors to “sharpen, animate, and enhance gameplay in real time.”Huang didn't mention any specifications but said that Switch 2 would have "the most advanced graphics ever in a mobile device."Huang also credited former Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata for the vision behind the hybrid system. “Switch 2 is more than a new console,” he said. “It’s a new chapter worthy of Iwata Son’s vision.”The two companies began collaborating in 2015, when Nintendo selected a prototype based on Nvidia’s Tegra X1 system-on-chip (SoC) to power the original Switch. At the time, Huang described the relationship between the two companies&nbsp;as potentially lasting 20 years, given Nintendo’s history of sticking with hardware partners for the long haul.That custom chip helped enable the Switch’s hybrid form factor and has been included in all 132 million units sold since the console's 2017 debut.Nvidia dedicated what Huang previously described as “several hundred engineering years” to customizing the SoC and logic board for Nintendo’s needs. Nintendo acquired the intellectual property and used it as the basis for its hardware.While Nvidia no longer breaks out Tegra revenue separately, the business generated $1.45 billion in fiscal 2020, accounting for 13% of the company’s total.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NVDA">Nvidia’s stock</a> was up 3% in midday trade on Tuesday.
