How to buy Ycash (y.cash) (YEC)

How to buy and use Ycash (y.cash) (YEC) on its native network

Ycash (YEC) is a privacy coin that launched in 2019. It began as a chain fork of Zcash. This means the two projects share a blockchain history for the first 570,000 blocks. This fork allowed people who held Zcash at the time to receive an equivalent amount of YEC.

What the native network does

The Ycash network is designed for privacy. It is a standalone coin and does not run as a token on another platform.

The project has developed an escrow payment protection system and money transfer facilities to expand how the coin is used. Users can inspect the project's implementation activity through the official source code on GitHub.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

YWallet is the primary tool for managing YEC. It is available for Android, iOS, and desktop platforms.

To verify addresses and transactions, use the official explorer. Before any transfer, you must verify that the exchange and the wallet are using the same network.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Deposit and withdrawal support for the listed exchanges is not verified. You should check the specific limits and KYC requirements of an exchange before you open an account.

A common mistake is assuming that every listed exchange supports deposits and withdrawals for the same network. Availability and account features vary by country.
