ZKas is a one month old cryptocurrency that combines Kaspa's GHOSTDAG BlockDAG - fast, parallel, proof-of-work block production with Zcash's Orchard shielded protocol, so that every amount, sender, and recipient is hidden by construction.

Zcash's privacy is considered to be the most advanced but it's not enabled by default, so receives criticism from people (e.g. Edward Snowden). Kaspa's DAG achievements enable it to produce 100 blocks per second but it's a transparent ledger.

ZKas combines Kaspa's and Zcash's work and creates the fastest privacy network with 1 second block time and mandatory hardest encryption.

Enthusiasts and developers are welcomed.
