ZenCash is an implementation of the Zerocash cryptographic protocol operating over a block chain provided by a fork of the Bitcoin source code. Sitting between the two is the ZenCash protocol itself.
Zerocash is a peer-reviewed cryptographic protocol providing decentralized anonymous e-cash on top of a block chain. The details of this protocol, along with a proof of security, can be found at http://zerocash-project.org/paper.
ZenCash if a fork of Zcash and the Zcash protocol spec is valid for it as well with one notable exception, ZenCash implements BIP-115 replay protection.

The details of how to integrate the Zerocash cryptographic scheme into a Bitcoin consensus protocol are crucial to overall usability, security, and performance. ZenCash includes important security fixes and functionality enhancements relative to Zerocash, as well as a new proof of work.

ZenCash is based on Bitcoin, so much of the underlying consensus protocol is the same.
