zcash.ink is a native marketplace for Zcash NFTs and ordinals. Every collection, listing and sale here is derived from transactions on the Zcash chain — there is no off-chain order book and no custodial escrow. An indexer replays transparent blocks, decodes the inscription envelopes inside them, and reconstructs who owns what.
That design has a useful consequence: you do not have to trust this site. Anyone running the same indexer against the same chain arrives at the same ownership set, the same floor prices and the same trade history.
Three protocols sit on top of the same envelope format. zOrdinals numbers individual zatoshis and attaches content to them. ZRC-20 is a fungible token standard with deploy and mint operations. ZRC-721 covers NFT collections, where each mint is a distinct token with its own artwork.
Because OP_RETURN data is public by design, all of this happens on Zcash's transparent pool. Shielded funds keep their privacy guarantees, but they cannot carry an inscription.

What is a Zcash NFT?
A Zcash NFT is a ZRC-721 token whose artwork and metadata are committed directly into a transparent Zcash transaction using an OP_RETURN envelope. There is no smart contract: ownership is the transaction output that carries the token, and any indexer reading the chain derives the same owner.
What are Zcash ordinals?
Ordinals are individual zatoshis numbered in the order they were mined. zOrdinals attaches content to a specific zatoshi through an inscription, making it a unique, transferable digital artifact secured by Zcash.
How much does it cost to trade?
Buyers pay a 2% marketplace fee on top of the asking price, plus the ordinary Zcash network fee. Sellers receive the full asking price. The fee is an output in the purchase transaction, so the sale only settles when both the seller and the fee are actually paid.
How do I create my own NFT collection?
Publishing a ZRC-721 collection costs a 0.025 ZEC system fee. Choose a name, supply and royalty, sign the deploy transaction, then mint items into it. Each mint carries its artwork on-chain or commits an IPFS CID.
Do I need a special wallet?
Inscriptions live on transparent t-addresses, because OP_RETURN data is public by design. You can connect an external Zcash browser wallet for payments, or use the in-app inscription wallet, which is the only one that can sign raw OP_RETURN envelopes.
Are shielded addresses supported?
Not for inscriptions. Shielded pools hide the transaction graph, which is exactly what an indexer needs to attribute ownership. Moving an inscribed output into a shielded pool breaks its provenance.
