**Zcash: The Everything Blockchain**
The Zcash lobby is no coincidence.

People: Oh, there's a lot of fraud in voting. Corruption is rampant.
Politicians: Well, we can digitize voting on the blockchain, with a model of transparency that preserves the secrecy of the vote.
People: Oh, and how does that work?
Politicians: Well, there is a technology called zero-knowledge, which means that although the public network can record that you have voted, who you voted for remains secret, even though it can be counted.
People: Oh, but that network can't be attacked, and the records changed?
Politicians: No, look at the case of Bitcoin. It's open source, pseudo-anonymous, has been hack-free for over 15 years, and historical information remains immutable. Although it doesn't have zero-knowledge technology, it can be implemented, just as Zcash has it, where privacy is decided by each user depending on the case.
People: Ah, it is fantastic, so it could be used for secret voting, and also to transmit value, tokens, or whatever information you want, and I decide what to share or what to keep private, right?
Politicians: Exactly, you've understood it very well. It could be a blockchain for various uses, centralized and regulated, but with open source code that all citizens can audit.
People: That's great! And when could it be implemented?
Politicians: We need the people's vote to implement it.
People: Fantastic, when are the elections?
