Version v0.13.8.5 has been released!

This is an optional but recommended update for all users, Znodes, mining pools and exchanges.

Exodus tokenization layer with Sigma support completed. This allows anyone to create their own token with Sigma privacy with Zcoin's blockchain.

As always, please backup your wallet prior to updating to this version for safety!

I've been mining Zcoin for a couple of weeks and man, this coin has come a long way since it's Lyra2z days. MTP is so stable, this algo is just a charm to mine. Sigma is simple to use as well and the coin is getting accepted more and more everywhere... I really want a node of this underdog now! Good work devs!

It's alway great to see messages like this! I'll forward it to the Devs.

San Francisco Blockchain Week was a very meaningful event for Zcoin. From presenting Lelantus to an academic audience and getting valuable feedback to meeting projects in the space that we can collaborate on improving privacy or usability of cryptocurrencies.

This is a very nice site. Nice to see all the metrics in one place. The description of Zcoin at the bottom though is a bit dated though. Zcoin no longer uses the Zerocoin protocol for privacy and has replaced it with the Sigma protocol.

If it is your site, can I suggest you change it to:

Zcoin is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency project. It was the first to implement ideas from the Zerocoin project whitepaper written by a group of academics in 2013. When working on his first cryptocurrency in 2014, founder Poramin Insom realized that the project he developed lacked sufficient safeguards for user and transaction privacy. Consequently, in 2016, he created Zcoin, a new cryptocurrency with security and privacy at its core. Since then, Zcoin introduced key protocols, including the MTP mining algorithm, network privacy protocol Dandelion++, and recently, the Sigma Protocol to replace Zerocoin as the privacy protocol in use. The Sigma Protocol lets a user burn existing coins to redeem them for coins with no previous transaction history later. By breaking links in the blockchain, the protocol provides strong end-user privacy.
