$ZC 13.88m dyor 0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 okx wallet: After Vitalik wrote the sci-fi novel Snowmoon, in which countries use zipcoin for payments, anonymous transactions, burning coins to gain speaking rights, and transaction taxes flowing directly into the treasury in real time, this dev turned the currency from the book into an onchain token and connected it to Privacy Pools. Users can deposit ZC into the pool, called zip, then use a zero-knowledge proof generated in the browser to withdraw it to any new address, called unzip. There is also another mechanism: users can burn ZC to publish an onchain message. The more they burn, the louder their voice becomes. They can also anonymously send messages using already-zipped funds. The project appears to be trying to do two things at the same time: provide verifiable private transfers, and create a public forum where you have to pay to speak. Deposits have to pass an association-set review, and unapproved deposits can be returned to the depositor. The entire product runs on Ethereum mainnet, with no accounts and no custody. The server never holds users’ private keys. The total supply is fixed at 1 billion, and the token launched on Stockereum. Liquidity is held in a Uniswap v4 position controlled by the launch Hook. The contract has no mint function and no owner. Every swap on Stockereum charges a 1% fee. 0.5% goes to the zipcoin treasury in ETH, referred to as the Veridian sales tax. Zip also charges a 0.5% ZC review fee, while anonymous unzips and message publishing through the relayer charge 1% ZC. The ZC token is both the fuel and the ticket. Transfers, anonymous withdrawals, and publishing messages all require ZC. And once ZC is burned, it disappears from the supply.
