Zcash Tools & Methodology

The analysis tools on this site, how the numbers behind them are produced, and a full index of every chart.

How these numbers are produced

Chain data comes from a full node we run — a Zebra node, not a third-party API. Every supply, pool balance and transaction figure on this site is read from it directly.

Supply and pool balances are consensus-verified, not derived. They are read from the node's own per-block snapshots (chainSupply and valuePools) rather than reconstructed from a block-reward formula. A formula gets slow-start, Blossom and NU6 wrong; the node cannot, because the network agreed on those numbers.

Price history is Coin Metrics; live price is CoinGecko. Those are the only figures on the site that do not come from the chain itself, because price is not an on-chain fact.

Days are complete days. The current UTC day is still being written, so it is excluded from daily series rather than drawn as a partial bar that looks like a collapse in activity.

Where a number is an estimate, the chart says so. Shielded-pool cost basis, for instance, cannot be exact — individual notes are private — so those charts describe the model they use instead of implying precision they do not have.
