What is Zclassic (ZCL)?
Source description
“Zclassic is a fork of Zcash founded by Rhett Creighton but with the 20% founders’ reward and slow start removed. Miners are simply earning their fair reward, we believe they deserve it, and the coin development can be supported by the community. ZCL also differs from ZEC by removing the slow start (source), we are not trying to deliberately engineer scarcity: The Market decides the price. We are using the same parameters which were produced in the now famous secure "trusted setup meeting" (source) where Peter Todd participated, and he confirmed to us (source) they are safe to use. If just one of the participants kept their key secret and destroyed it, the whole system is secure. Zcash is a cryptocurrency run by the Zero Coin Inc. In order to fund their operations, a 20% mining “Founder’s Reward” is included. Every block, in order to maintain consensus, miners running the Zcash code send 20% of their newly mined rewards to an address controlled by the Zero Coin Inc. Because the Zcash source code is open source, Zclassic simply removes the 20% Founder’s Reward. This gives people the option to mine a blockchain using the same technology of Zcash, but without paying the 20% Founder’s Reward. The mission of Zclassic is to stay as similar to Zcash from a technology perspective, but to never take any pre-mine, founder’s-reward or any other kind of fee that goes to a small group of individuals with special permissions whether elected, appointed, or otherwise.”

Zclassic (ZCL) FAQ
How does Zclassic’s mining reward model differ from the one described for Zcash?
The project states that Zclassic removed Zcash’s 20% Founder’s Reward, which directed part of each newly mined block reward to an address controlled by the Zcash organization. Under Zclassic’s stated model, miners do not send that portion to a designated group, allowing the full mining reward to remain with miners rather than funding a built-in founder allocation.
What does Zclassic claim to have changed about Zcash’s launch process?
Zclassic describes itself as removing Zcash’s slow-start mechanism. The project also states that it did not use a pre-mine or a founder’s reward. These changes are presented as an effort to avoid deliberately engineered scarcity and special allocations, with the project saying that market participants should determine the asset’s price rather than a launch-related issuance schedule.
Why does Zclassic refer to the parameters from Zcash’s trusted setup?
The project states that Zclassic uses the same parameters produced during Zcash’s trusted setup meeting. It presents those parameters as secure, citing participation by Peter Todd and his reported confirmation to the project. Zclassic further describes the setup’s security model as relying on the destruction of secret material by at least one participant, although this remains a claim attributed to the project.
What mining model does Zclassic present to participants?
Zclassic positions its mining model as one in which miners receive the ordinary block reward without a built-in 20% deduction for a designated organization. The project frames this as a fairer arrangement for miners and says it uses the same underlying technology and parameters associated with Zcash, while removing the Founder’s Reward and slow-start features it identifies as differences.
Zclassic metric comparison
This comparison is a stored snapshot generated 2026-10-23 06:30 UTC from 293 daily observations available from 2025-12-30 through 2026-10-23. It is separate from the latest analytical cards above. Percentiles compare the snapshot value with that day's analytical universe; a higher percentile means a larger observed value, not necessarily a better investment characteristic.
