The rally did not just capture traders’ attention but sent the network’s hashrate to an all-time high, making ZEC mining one of the most profitable coins as Bitcoin remains range-bound .

ZEC Mining Booms as Hashrate Hits Record Levels

Zcash’s PoW system, powered by the Equihash algorithm, is seeing unprecedented activity.

The network’s hashrate has surged to an all-time high of 12.53 GS/s. Unlike Bitcoin’s SHA256, Equihash makes Zcash mining more resource-intensive but now, significantly more rewarding.

Currently, Bitmain’s Antminer Z15 Pro ASIC generates roughly $39.56 in daily profits after electricity costs, making Equihash 43% more profitable than Bitcoin’s SHA256 algorithm.

Leading mining pools like ViaBTC, which controls 31.84% of the Zcash network hash power, have expanded
