🌙 ZKas (ZKAS) - Privacy by Default, 1-Second Blocks, Kaspa Merged Mining"Private by default. One-second speed."https://zkas.info/
🔹 What is ZKas?ZKas is a new Layer-1 cryptocurrency that combines:
• The speed and scalability of Kaspa's BlockDAG technology
• The privacy technology of Zcash (Orchard + Halo 2)
• Proof-of-Work security through kHeavyHash
• Merge mining compatibility with Kaspa
Unlike many privacy coins, every transaction on ZKas is shielded by default. Sender, receiver and transferred amount remain private.
Key idea: Bring strong privacy to a network capable of producing blocks every second.
⚡ Main Features✅ Mandatory Privacy
All transactions are shielded by default.
✅ 1 Second Block Time
Fast confirmations through BlockDAG architecture.
✅ Kaspa Merge Mining
Miners can secure ZKas using the same kHeavyHash algorithm as Kaspa.
✅ No Transparent Transactions
Privacy is part of the protocol itself.
✅ Halo 2 Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Modern privacy technology without trusted setup.
✅ Proof of Work Security
Decentralized and secured by mining.
