Business digitalization platform with open source.

ZHCash is built upon the innovations of Bitcoin and Ethereum with some significant differences.

We offer an open-source blockchain platform for creating decentralized applications powered by smart and intelligent contracts. ZHCash is a fork of Bitcoin, enhanced with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), combining the best of both worlds. We utilize the UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model, known for its high security and efficiency, along with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), renowned for its smart contracts. This means that ZHCash is more than just a cryptocurrency. It empowers businesses to use the public ledger for tracking products and services. The ability for organizations to automatically confirm customer purchases and provide ongoing support is a key feature of our platform. Interest in blockchain technology is on the rise, especially in the financial sector. Currently, many banks are securing blockchain patents, indicating their intention to integrate this technology into their products and services. One of ZHCash's primary objectives is to change how applications store data. Instead of centralized data storage on a single server, applications running on the ZHCash platform store data as transactions on the blockchain. This enables the automation of transaction processes. For instance, a car or house can be sold automatically as soon as the second party fulfills the predefined conditions. This eliminates the need for real estate agents, brokers, and even lawyers. A significant achievement of ZHCash is the ability to ensure the execution of transaction terms without intermediaries. We launched our test network in 2018 and have been continuously evolving and improving ever since.

Genesis Block

ZHCash is an open blockchain platform with open source aimed for business digitalization and creating decentralized applications. It supports the Solidity programming language (ZRC - unified standards ERC20, ERC721, etc.). Unlike most other platforms, ZHCash allows businesses to deploy their own blockchain and digital assets in just a few clicks. Even a novice developer can do this using a set of intuitive tools. The main advantages of the platform are as follows: minimal requirements for the customer’s initial data, simplicity in creation of all types of tokens and coins, as well as of a blockchain infrastructure, and financial affordability. Coins can be used to implement random digital signs such as shares, bonds, cryptocurrencies and tokens, intellectual property, etc., as well as real objects.

Work in real time.
Fast online transactions.
Fast and reliable operation of the cloud blockchain platform.
Low fees for any transactions.
Low commission for creating a smart contract.
3rd generation PoS mining. Wallets are full-fledged nodes of the network and participate in the processing of transactions for which they receive rewards. All network fees are received by PoS miners. The organization of a PoS node requires the constant presence of a wallet in the network and as many coins as possible on the wallet.
IPoS (delegation of coins to supernode pools).
DPoS (algorithm for rewarding the main validators of the network).

Tokens

ZRC - master contracts

The ZHCash platform supports smart contracts written for the Ethereum virtual machine and for the x86 virtual machine, while providing backward compatibility with Ethereum contracts.

Special features: UTXO, POS, POW, DPOS. DGP control protocol. EVM + x86 virtual machine. Programming languages: Solidity, C / C ++, Rust, Python. Full support and compatibility with ERC20, ERC721, GO, C, C ++, C # & Java.



DApps and DGP governance protocol

Thousands of the largest companies in the world are ready to invest billions of dollars in blockchain development. This places decentralized applications (Dapps) among of the most promising IT-spheres in the nearest future. Decentralized applications are increasingly attracting the attention of developers around the world. Unlike centralized apps, Dapps directly connect users and developers without involving a mediator. Developing of decentralized applications of different kinds (DApps) with high level of protection, created on the blockchain basis and working with smart contracts, allows implementing more functions, including financial ones, for managing fiat and digital assets.

Unlike Ethereum, these are new types of contracts, very similar to SO (standing order of the bank). They are performed automatically when a certain algorithm is applied. For example: the client provides the bank with a monthly payment, and the smart contract performs the same function, but the payment is automatically distributed to spheres necessary to close all the financial issues of the bank. These are more complex mechanisms, but at the same time the most promising ones. Decentralized Governance Protocol (DGP) makes it possible to change certain blockchain settings using smart contracts. The Account Abstraction Layer (AAL) decouples applications from the underlying protocol, keeping the blockchain running while giving the opportunity to add more capabilities to smart contracts in the future. The x86 virtual machine will support C, C ++, Rust, Python, and other programming languages, helping to adapt smart contracts. The UTXO model provides a simple payment verification (SPV) that allows customers to verify transactions without deploying a full node.

DGP governance protocol. The size of each block is set by the DGP protocol and smart contracts. The Decentralized Governance Protocol (DGP) is designed to let users change individual blockchain parameters using appropriate smart contracts. Moreover, this technology allows changing the parameters of the blockchain without any disruption to the ecosystem. New settings immediately enter into force without requiring additional software downloads or intervention from shareholders and node operators. The DGP operation principle is pretty straightforward. First, one of the parties with access to the blockchain uses the DGP to propose a change to a certain parameter. Then, all other parties vote, and if the majority approves the proposal, the system will change this parameter. After that the changed data will be converted to a standard format and placed in a separate storage, from where it can be directly accessed by the blockchain software.

Frequently asked questions.

Most common questions and answers, as well as some relevant and useful general and technical information.

What is ZHCash Network?

ZHCash is an open blockchain platform with open source aimed for creating decentralized applications working on a smart contracts basis, issuing cryptographic tokens and conducting crowdfunding campaigns. ZHCash is a Bitcoin fork with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) running over it. The platform gets the best from both sides and even more. The platform uses the UTXO (Unspent Transaction) model known for its security and efficiency, and the EVM, renowned for its smart contracts. This means that ZHCash is not just an exchange e-currency traders can create invoices for products and services in.

What are the project goals?

A great opportunity for manufacturers and businesses to use the public ledger. For an organization, this is an invaluable opportunity to sell a product or a service, as well as to get proof of customer’s purchase and support the customer later on (possibly even throughout his/her life). Especially important is the blockchain technology for the finance. At the moment, banks are receiving many blockchain patents. This may be due to the fact that they are planning to adopt technology into their products and services. One of the main goals of the ZHCash platform is to change the way application databases are stored. Instead of a centralized method of storing the database on a single server, applications running on the ZHCash platform will be stored in the database as transactions on the blockchain. This can be imagined as a small program configured to automatically execute predefined actions. For example, a car or a house are being sold automatically as soon as the other party of the contract receives a predetermined sum on his bank account. This can help go without the realtor or car broker services and perhaps even without a lawyer. The main achievement is that there is no need for a third party anymore. Here the technology ensures the fulfillment of the conditions under which the transaction takes place.

Token creation (ERC20, ERC721) and DApps based on ZHCash

Creating a smart contract or a flexible token in the market is not as easy as it may seem. The creation of a smart contract based on the ZRC standard (ERC20 or ERC721) takes place in the software QT wallet. Examples and templates of smart contracts can be downloaded from our git hub. A token can be created inside the main console using the smart contract builder in just 3 simple steps. You only set the parameters, and the neural network does the smart contract compilation for you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Who is the developer of the ZHCash Network?

The ZHCash development community consists of several well-coordinated teams. The main development of the algorithms is carried out by the BlockChain team of ZeroHour Developers. Ideology, engineering, testing and business model constitute the ZeroLab team’s work. Implementation, UA UX design, development concept and marketing rests with the Network Validators (DAO ZHCash), international consumer societies and the decentralized venture fund Zero Gravity Foundation.

What is a supernode?

Node (eng. node – knot) is a software QT wallet, which contains the parent asset of the ZHCash network. The minimum number of coins (steak) for organizing a supernode is 10,000,000 ZHC. The supernode wallet is the backbone of the network. Only a DAO member can own a supernode.

What is the maximum number of supernodes on the network?

At the moment, there are 70 supernodes in the ZHChain Network. In total, no more than 111 supernodes will be deployed.

What are the requirements for organizing a supernode?

• Get referrals from multiple DAO ZHCash members.
• Make a voluntary and unrewarded donation for the network development in exchange for a stake of 10 million ZHC, participation in DAO ZHCash and Zero Gravity Foundation decentralized venture fund.
• Purchase or deploy your own dedicated server.
• Install and run the wallet on your dedicated server.
• Get the "Validator" status.

For the supernode to function properly, a dedicated VDS or VPS server with the recommended characteristics of 4 cores and 4 gigabytes of RAM, a 40 gigabyte SSD disk and any version of the QT wallet (Windows, Linux, MacOS) is required. The supernode should always be online with a maximum uptime of 24/7. The server is connected to monitoring servers. Supernodes may be subject to penalties for unstable uptime. The supernode wallet must always be online.
