There are a number of resources that help users understand Zcash.
Zcash Media is an independent organization that makes educational documentaries about Zcash. Their first video, "Built to Fix Bitcoin's Fatal Flaw, What is Zcash (ZEC)?", is a great introduction to Zcash.
Twitter is the de facto communication hub for the Zcash community, and the broader cryptocurrency space as well. It's a great place to get a pulse check on all things Zcash, and also follow prominent community members. Here's a document that lists the top accounts to follow.
Zcash Community is a community run site that highlights community run projects supporting the Zcash ecosystem. It's a great way to get introduced to the Zcash community and its various applications as a currency.
As mentioned in the new user guide, the Zcash forum is a great place to have long form discussions about Zcash topics and also proposed ideas. Proposals always make it to the forum so the community has a chance to discuss and debate the proposed ideas.
Z.cash is Zcash's main website. It provides content and documentation of Zcash for a wide range of users and allows new users to dive deeper into the technical explanations around Zcash.
Got coding chops and want to dive deeper into the technical side of Zcash? The Zcash GitHub Repo is the repository for zcashd, the first Zcash node implementation. zcashd reached its automatic end-of-support halt on 18 July 2026 and is no longer maintained, and the download page this entry used to link to is no longer served. The maintained stack is Zebra for the node and Zallet for the wallet — see the zcashd to Zebra and Zallet migration guide.
