The developers of Zcash are on a mission to provide anonymity to cryptocurrency transactions and the team has been working with Ethereum developers to create the ‘HTTPS’ for Bitcoin’s internet of money.
This past July, Zcash developer Sean Bowe explained via the team’s blog that a group of programmers met at Cornell University to implement zk-SNARKs to the Ethereum protocol.
During the Ethereum/IC3 Bootcamp at Cornell, developers Vitalik Buterin, Sean Bowe, Eran Tromer, and Andrew Miller convened to develop anonymous transactions on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Zk-SNARKs is the cryptographic framework beneath the Zcash protocol.
