Uses zero-knowledge cryptography to make transactions and manage your transaction history, privately and consciously.
Take exclusive and unique control of your financial history. Use this unique insight into your own financial behaviour to introspect about how you spend your money. Share your knowledge in your own way. Build healthy relationships with diverse financial communities.
Introspective mechanisms
When you send Zcash, you can write a memo about anything you want. When you receive Zcash, you also receive the memo written by the sender. In this case, where the application is both the sender and receiver, Zingo uses the memo system to write notes to itself about the transactions it creates for the user.
Zingo extracts this data to provide information exclusively to you. In our initial release, we already use this introspective mechanism to "remember" which full Unified Addresses you have previously sent Zcash to. This "address book" of people you have sent Zcash to in the past is completely private and, as long as you protect your seed phrase properly, will be fully restored even if you lose your device.
Introspective mechanisms will allow you to know who you have sent money to and who you have asked for money from. We intend to implement mechanisms that allow users to share their knowledge anonymously and in an economically viable way, allowing communities to form around interesting knowledge markets.

Technical details of UA caching
Zcash supports multi-protocol Unified Addresses, which allows the protocol to be upgraded to new versions without breaking backwards compatibility. This Unified Addressing system is implemented by off-chain clients; clients share Unified Addresses with each other.
If the sending client were to simply register the UA off-chain, there would be no way to retrieve this relationship data in the event that the client were to re-spawn from its seed phrase. Zingo solves this problem by recording the UA provided by the original recipient in the change memo field of the transaction.
Zingo's vision
We are building a system that uses the unique properties of Zcash to provide immediate value to the general population. If you know your seed phrase and run Zingo, you will get unique information about your own past transactions. This is not just privacy, it is an essential insight into your own behaviour built on that privacy.
This is our value proposition:
Privacy gives you direct insight into yourself, and we give you this unprecedented ability.
