What is ZelCash?

ZelCash is a cryptocurrency that holds a central role in the Zel Ecosystem. It gives the incentive for ZelNode ownership to enable the creation of ZelEx and the ZelDev Platform, enabling us to create a truly decentralized development platform.

ZelCash is minable making distribution fair. ZelNodes are soon to be added, and will allow holders of ZelCash to operate a ZelNode, receiving a portion of blockreward for operating it. ZelCash is the means of transacting in the Zel Ecosystem. It will always be a key part of the Zel Ecosystem.
