Zcash represents an interesting approach to privacy in blockchain—one where confidentiality becomes a choice rather than a mandate. The protocol enables users to toggle privacy features on or off depending on their transaction needs. This flexibility sets it apart in the privacy-focused ecosystem, offering both transparent and shielded transaction options. Whether you're exploring privacy mechanisms or curious about how optional encryption reshapes protocol design, Zcash's model presents a compelling case study.

I've seen this privacy option trick too many times; in the end, it all becomes just a paper article, and very few actually use it.

The optional privacy logic is indeed clever, but to be honest, not many people use it... What does the regulatory side think?

zk proofs are indeed excellent, but in reality, most people still prefer transparent transactions... The option for privacy sounds appealing, but in practice, few people actually use it.
