## Participation routes

The page does not provide an instant checkout and does not custody funds. A participant can review the self-custody crypto route or contact the ZooBC Foundation to confirm an assisted crypto or bank-transfer route. Asset, network, destination address, ZBC receiving address, and address control must be confirmed before sending funds.
