Zcash supports both transparent and shielded payments. Transparent payments expose addresses and amounts on the public ledger. Fully shielded payments use zero-knowledge proofs so the network can verify a payment while keeping the addresses and amount private.
What a wallet or exchange supports matters. Some handle only transparent transfers, and a transfer between a transparent address and a shielded one still exposes information on the transparent side. Compare both ends of the transfer when working out what information will be public.
ZEC is issued through proof-of-work mining, with a supply cap of 21 million. The circulating supply above is the estimate used for the current market cap.
