Private. Autonomous. Money.

Take your financial privacy back

Buying guides by jurisdiction, exchange profiles, and live data on Zcash, Monero, and the regulated paths to private money in 2026.

zkonomics
Zero-Knowledge. Transact without revealing who sent it, who received it, or how much.
Two coins, two paths

Pick the privacy that fits you.

Both available to consumers in 2026. Different tradeoffs.

Zcash
Optionally shielded

Shielded transactions on a peer-reviewed cryptographic foundation. Listed on most US-regulated exchanges, so the path from dollars to ZEC is short and direct.

Right for buyers who want strong privacy with the fewest steps.

Monero
Private by default

Every transaction private automatically, with the largest anonymity set of any cryptocurrency. Delisted from most US exchanges, so acquiring it takes a few extra steps.

Right for buyers who want maximum anonymity and don't mind the workaround.
