Decode the blockchain.
Protect the user.
CipherScan is a privacy-first Zcash blockchain explorer. Not just a block browser — a tool for understanding, analyzing, and visualizing what privacy means on-chain. Making the invisible visible without compromising individuals.
Created by Kenbak
Built at Zypherpunk
Created at the world's first Zcash privacy hackathon. 300+ projects. Won 4 tracks: Project Tachyon, Gemini, Raybot, and Network State. From zero to a working explorer in days.
Browser-Native Decryption
First frontend WASM-powered Zcash transaction decoder. Decrypt shielded memos entirely in-browser — no server, no keys shared, no trust required.
Privacy Risks & Batch Patterns
Advanced deshielding pattern detection and linkability analysis. Identifying on-chain behaviors that compromise Zcash privacy — and making that data accessible to everyone.
ZCG Grant Awarded
Funded by the Zcash Community Grants program. Community recognition that privacy visibility infrastructure is essential for the ecosystem.
Bridge & Cross-Chain Analytics
Tracking ZEC flowing across bridges — ETH, BTC, and beyond. Mapping the cross-chain ecosystem with swap detection, volume analytics, and bridge health monitoring.
Fork Watch & Network Health
Real-time chain reorganization detection and monitoring. Tracking network consensus health, stale blocks, and reorg depth — critical infrastructure visibility.
CipherScan Rust Indexer
High-performance Rust-based blockchain indexer. Full chain state in PostgreSQL — every transaction, output, and shielded action indexed for instant queries across 3.3M+ blocks.
Mining Pool Analytics
Pool diversity tracking, hashrate share over time, and miner behavior analysis. Showing whether miners sell or accumulate — strategy transparency for the entire network.
More to come.
Zcash has the strongest privacy technology in crypto. But privacy is invisible by default — that's the point. The problem: if you can't see it, you can't understand it, measure it, or improve it.
CipherScan makes privacy visual, understandable, and accessible to all — developers, researchers, and everyday users. We show the shielded pool's health, detect patterns that risk privacy, and provide the tools to explore a blockchain designed to be private.
Open source. Community funded.
CipherScan is fully open source and funded by the Zcash community. Contributions, issues, and feedback are welcome.
