Zero (ZER) is a decentralized Anonymous Payments platform that provides complete payment confidentiality in a secured network and utilizes a public blockchain. Zero aims to rely on the three fundamental principles of technological freedom: open-source code, decentralization, and true peer-to-peer technology. The trust of Zero relies on the subjective valuations of the human dependence on mathematical encryptions, algorithms, and numbers. The platform also combines Zcash’s anonymity and privacy with the security of Bitcoin. The platform combines three pillars of technology principles that display a peer-reviewed blockchain platform of integrity.

The Zero platform employs Zero-Knowledge Proof as the core of the technology. The technology allows transactions to be validated without leaking data about how many parties are involved. The platform achieves the aims of security and anonymity by implementing zk-SNARKs. zk-SNARKs is the art privacy technology based on a consensus of numbers of non-biased parties to make the platform private and secure. The platform further promotes decentralized payments with no borders and instant private and public transfers worldwide without interference and restrictions from third parties. The platform also assists people with fast, cheap transactions that can be completed within seconds, making Zero a relatively fast cryptocurrency.
