One of Zcash's original architects just dropped a detailed breakdown of how their privacy tech actually operates under the hood. The walkthrough covers everything from the encryption layer to the zero-knowledge proof implementation that makes shielded transactions possible.

What's interesting here is getting the full technical picture directly from someone who helped build the protocol. He maps out the entire flow—how transaction data gets encrypted, how zk-SNARKs verify transactions without revealing sender/receiver info, and how the whole system maintains both privacy and network security.

For anyone trying to understand privacy coins beyond the surface level, this kind of end-to-end technical explanation is pretty rare. It's not just "privacy good" talking points—it's the actual cryptographic mechanisms that make selective disclosure work in practice.
