⚡ ZCASH NEWS — cbZEC IS NOW LIVE ON BASE

Zcash is expanding into the EVM ecosystem.

cbZEC — a wrapped version of ZEC — is now live on Base, giving ZEC holders a new way to access DeFi applications while bringing Zcash liquidity into one of Ethereum’s largest Layer-2 ecosystems.

🔸 1 cbZEC is backed 1:1 by ZEC held in Coinbase custody
🔸 cbZEC can be used across supported Base DeFi applications
🔸 Opens the door to trading, liquidity pools and further DeFi integrations
🔸 Native ZEC remains on Zcash while cbZEC represents it on Base

An important distinction: cbZEC transactions on Base are not shielded. Privacy applies when interacting with Zcash’s shielded pool; activity on Base remains visible on the EVM chain.

This is another major step toward making ZEC liquidity accessible beyond the Zcash ecosystem — without changing what makes native Zcash unique.

More chains. More liquidity. More utility for $ZEC.
