Grayscale reports that Zcash mining rewards are about twice as high as Bitcoin's per mining rig and four times higher per unit of electricity, making Zcash mining highly profitable. This profitability has led to a 2.5-fold increase in Zcash mining activity this year, which strengthens the network's security.
