A world powered by Zel
What is ZEL?
Zel is the cryptocurrency that powers the Zel Ecosystem. The Zel Network comprises Proof-of-Work miners and ZelNode Operators, who are rewarded in Zel for validating transactions and providing computational resources.
Zel is also the currency for purchasing resources and fueling transactions on our decentralized computational network called Flux. Users of the ZelCore wallet may unlock special features (ZelCore+) by staking Zel.

Why ZEL ?
zkSNARKs
The zk-SNARKs protocol is a novel form of zero-knowledge cryptography ensuring complete, opt-in privacy on the Zel blockchain via z-addresses (Sapling) for private transactions.
Community Involvement
Zel is a community-driven and supported Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrency with fair distribution, powering the development of a robust and functional infrastructure. Community members earn Zel by mining and/or operating ZelNodes to support the network.
ZelHash, EquihashR 125_4
Zel uses its own, custom PoW hashing algorithm, ZelHash, a modified version of previous Equihash algorithms from ZCash(200,9) and ZHash (144,5). The unique algorithm is ASIC-resistant and shows the team’s proactive commitment to decentralization by supporting GPU mining.
