Short answer: yes. The Ycash blockchain is live and producing blocks, YEC is listed and tradeable, and the official wallets still work. The longer answer — and how to check it for yourself — is below.

The blockchain is live

The clearest proof that a cryptocurrency is "active" is simple: is its blockchain still producing blocks? Ycash's is. New blocks are being mined and confirmed on the network around the clock, and you can watch it happen in real time.

This site has a live blockchain page that pulls current data straight from the network — block height, total transactions, coin supply, and the latest blocks and transactions as they happen. If the numbers are moving, the network is running. That's the test, and Ycash passes it.

YEC is listed and tradeable

Ycash's coin, YEC, is tracked by the major data aggregators — CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, CoinPaprika and others — which means there is live price and market data, and the listings are maintained. YEC can also be bought and traded on cryptocurrency exchanges. The Get Ycash section of this site links the exchanges where you can do that today.

The wallets still work

You can hold, send and receive Ycash using working wallet software. The wallets page lists the options — from the shielded mobile-and-desktop wallet most people start with, to a full-node wallet and offline paper storage. If you can download a wallet, generate an address, and receive coins, the project is active in the way that matters most: it's usable.

Why do people ask this question?

It's a fair question to ask of any smaller cryptocurrency. The space is full of projects that launched loudly and then went quiet, so "is this still alive?" is a sensible thing to check before you put time or money in.

Here's the honest picture. Ycash is a smaller, quieter project than its parent, Zcash. It doesn't generate constant headlines. But "active" doesn't mean "loud" — it means the network runs, the coin moves, and the tools work. By that standard, Ycash is active. We'd rather you verify that than take our word for it, which is why this site puts the live data front and centre.

Don't take our word for it. Check the live blockchain page for current block height, open a blockchain explorer, or look up YEC on CoinGecko. Active projects can be verified in seconds — and Ycash can.

How to check for yourself, any time

  • Watch the chain: the blockchain page shows live block height and transactions. If they're advancing, the network is producing blocks.
  • Check the market data: look up YEC on CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap for live price and volume.
  • Try a wallet: download one from the wallets page and generate an address. Working wallet software is a direct sign of an active network.
