Zcash is based on peer-reviewed cryptographic research, and built by a security-specialized engineering team on an open source platform based on Bitcoin Core's battle-tested codebase. Our improvement over Bitcoin is the addition of privacy. Zcash uses advanced cryptographic techniques, namely zero-knowledge proofs, to guarantee the validity of transactions without revealing additional information about them.
ZCash is a new member in "personal transaction"section.

It is interesting that some technologies of ZCash are deployed by Ethereum, helping the Ethereum transactions stay secret.
 
Zcash has issues with the initial setup. Also, Zooko once tweeted:

"And by the way, I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals like WannaCry, but still completely private & fungible"​

..which makes me uneasy and curious.
