Keep detailed records of every transaction, including date, amount, fair market value in CAD, and counterparty.

Is Zcash a good investment?

This page does not provide investment advice. Zcash is a volatile asset — historical price swings have included gains and losses of more than 50% within single calendar years. Before investing, understand your time horizon, risk tolerance, and only invest what you can afford to lose. Consider using our DCA Simulator to test how dollar-cost-averaging into Zcash would have performed historically.

Zcash uses a non-staking consensus mechanism, so it cannot be staked directly in the same way as proof-of-stake coins like Ethereum or Solana. Some platforms offer "earn" or lending products that pay yield on Zcash, but these carry counterparty risk.
