About

Siacoin is a utility token of the cloud storage platform called the Sia network. Sia is open-source and blockchain-based. The operations take place on Sia's own blockchain. The coin is used to pay for storage rent transactions. The coin is Proof-of-Work-based meaning that Siacoin can be mined. Another use for the coin is trading. 
Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency with strong cryptography that is supposed to provide high security and privacy. At some point, Zcash was endorsed by Edward Snowden and Roger Ver. Zcash is a Bitcoin fork and it exists since 2016. The mechanism providing privacy is called zero-knowledge proofs (or zk-SNARKS).
