The digital asset token of the Zcash Network is called Zcash (ZEC), often known as ZEC coin (similar to how bitcoin or BTC is the digital asset token of the Bitcoin network). The Zcash blockchain contains a record of every ZEC balance and transaction. The "zatoshi," which is equal to 10-8 ZEC or one hundred millionth of a ZEC, is the smallest ZEC subunit (0.00000001 ZEC). Zcash can be purchased and sold for fiat money, such as ZEC to USD and USD to ZEC, or for other cryptocurrencies. Zcash can be obtained from a cryptocurrency exchange and kept in a Zcash wallet, or it can be kept in a cryptocurrency wallet with a regulated exchange and custodian.
