Zcash, which debuted in 2016 with a capped supply of 21 million coins, has historically required specialized ASIC hardware, dedicated power sources, and constant technical oversight. By shifting these requirements to a cloud-based model, KuMining allows participants to secure ZEC hashrate directly through the KuCoin ecosystem. This transition effectively replaces the need for procurement and maintenance with a streamlined digital interface.

Chief Operating Officer Jolie Du stated that the initiative aims to decouple professional mining from the requirement of owning large-scale equipment. To facilitate this shift, the platform features a pay-later electricity model, allowing users to reduce upfront costs. This structure enables participants to accumulate mining output gradually over the contract duration, rather than relying on a single market purchase point. The service is currently live for eligible users, marking a move toward broader accessibility in the Proof-of-Work sector.
