Zcash in brief
Zcash launched in October 2016 as a fork of the Bitcoin codebase with optional shielded transactions.
Shielded transfers use zk-SNARKs, a form of zero-knowledge proof, to hide sender, receiver and amount.
Like Bitcoin, ZEC has a maximum supply of 21 million coins and issuance that halves on a schedule.

What moves the price of Zcash?
Privacy demand. Interest in private payments and regulatory news about privacy coins both move the price.
Exchange listings and delistings. Privacy coins face listing pressure on some regulated venues.
Shielded adoption. The share of activity using shielded pools is watched as a sign of real use.
Market beta. ZEC still tends to move with Bitcoin in broad sell-offs.
05
Where would a ZEC position be liquidated?
The calculator starts at 5x. Set the maintenance margin to the figure on the ZEC ticket.
Where does a leveraged position get liquidated?
06
Risks of a leveraged ZEC position
Leverage. Altcoin and equity perps can move further in a day than BTC, so the same leverage sits closer to liquidation.
Funding. Crowded positions pay funding every hour the imbalance lasts.
Cross-margin spillover. A loss here draws on collateral that backs your other positions.
Thin books. Large market orders can move the price.
