Zerocoin is a privacy protocol proposed by Johns Hopkins University professor Matthew D. Green and his graduate students (Ian Miers and Christina Garman) in 2013 as an extension to the bitcoin protocol that would add true cryptographic anonymity to bitcoin transactions. The protocol was first integrated into a fully functional cryptocurrency as Zcoin in 2016.
