ZEC’s Shielded Pool Is Its Real Economic Moat

[bonk]

For advanced users, the true value of Zcash lies not in price action but in the depth and health of its shielded pool. Shielded ZEC enables fully private transactions using zero-knowledge proofs, creating a fungible monetary base that most chains still cannot replicate at scale.

Liquidity inside the shielded pool matters because it directly impacts anonymity set size and resistance to chain analysis. As shielded supply grows, ZEC becomes harder to surveil and more useful as private money—an attribute that compounds in value as regulatory pressure on transparent ledgers increases.

Surveillance pressure only strengthens ZEC.
