HOW IT WORKS
Zcash orders it.
These rules score it.
Deploy — claim a ticker
Set a ticker, a supply, a fixed price, and a photo, then pay the 0.001 ZEC deploy fee. The first paid deploy wins the ticker. Price and supply are fixed forever at that moment.
Buy — at the fixed price
Send ZEC and buy whole coins at the fixed price, never past the supply. Your holder key — which lives only in your browser — owns the balance.
Send — move a balance
Move coins to another holder key. It carries dust (0.00001 ZEC), because a transfer is a ledger entry, not a smart-contract call.
Ask and take — a P2P market
Offer coins for sale at your own price (an ask). Anyone can take it, and the ledger moves the coins and records the ZEC owed to the seller.
The numbers
Deploy costs 0.00100 ZEC · a transfer carries 0.00001 ZEC · 2 confirmations before folding · ticker is 2 to 8 characters · we take nothing per trade.
Why an address, not a contract
Zcash has no smart contracts, so there is nothing on chain to run a sale. What it does have is a public, ordered chain and an address we can watch. Every order arrives as a payment, and the chain orders them.
When shielded assets ship
Zcash Shielded Assets (ZIP 226 and 227) are written and audited, but they are not part of the 5 November upgrade — NU7 is 25-second blocks, the end of v4 transactions, and the sustainability mechanism. Assets have no scheduled date. Everything here is built so balances convert one to one when they arrive, and until then the ledger is the record.
What could cost you
— We hold the ZEC. There is no escrow contract on Zcash, so money sent to a sale sits with us until it is spent or returned.
— Shielded assets are not scheduled. They are specified and audited but were not included in NU7, so the conversion this site is built for has no date. Treat it as an intention, not a promise.
— Our ledger is the only record until native assets exist. Nothing on chain enforces it.
— Refunds are manual. If you send more than a sale can fill, the overpayment is recorded as owed and settled by hand.
— Your holder key is yours alone. It never leaves your browser, we cannot reset it, and whoever has it owns the balance.
— An instruction typed wrong does nothing. Unreadable orders are counted and ignored, and the ZEC that carried them still arrived.
