ZOOBC GENESIS · 40% PHASE 1 DISCOUNT
ZooBC begins with one Genesis Block. Calculate your ZBC allocation under the active 40% Phase 1 price, review protocol-enforced vesting, then choose a confirmed participation route.
Published sale terms apply. ZBC has no guaranteed monetary value.
FOUNDATION
One fixed supply. A genesis cap that cannot be exceeded. Everything not allocated at genesis stays available for the network to earn.
Total supply is one immutable number: 33,333,333.33 ZBC. The genesis allocation is carved out of it. The coinbase pool is exactly the total minus whatever is actually allocated at genesis.
The genesis cap is 10% of supply and will never be exceeded. Any part of that cap not allocated before launch is never minted at genesis. It stays in the coinbase pool and goes to nodes that run the network.
Emission runs for 15 years. After that, nodes earn from transaction fees alone.
On-chain amounts are counted in atomic units: 1 ZBC equals 100,000,000 atomic units. Every protocol rule and API counts in that official sub-unit.
Supporter-sale proceeds fund the ZooBC Foundation, and the foundation spends them on the network. Part goes to the infrastructure that keeps the public chain reachable: gateways, seed nodes, the block explorer and the wallet. Part goes to making ZooBC easy to adopt: manuals, tutorials, developer tools and independent security audits. Part goes to marketing and promotion, so that the people and organisations who could use the network learn that it exists. And part goes to grants for the applications built on it.
The goal is a chain that is used, not just traded. ZBC is a utility token: it pays for the services that applications run on the network, from notarisation to the built-in exchange to the decentralised services on the roadmap. The foundation's work is to close agreements with companies and organisations that need this blockchain and its wallet for their own operations. Every such agreement brings real traffic, and real traffic is what gives ZBC demand from use rather than from speculation, and what keeps transaction costs low for everyone.
ISSUANCE
The remaining supply follows a fixed 15-year curve. The curve is cumulative, so each block reward is the difference between two points in real time.

1 ZBC = 1 USD at list price. Early supporters and larger commitments pay less. Larger commitments vest longer, so the supply reaches the market smoothly.
INTERACTIVE ALLOCATION
Switch between a USD amount and a ZBC quantity. Every result reflects the current phase, official quantity tier, buyer cap, and protocol-enforced vesting schedule.
Illustration only. Final eligibility, payment route, address control, and allocation must be confirmed by the ZooBC Foundation.
Compare every tier after running your calculation.
Each tier starts at its lower bound and ends just below the next tier's lower bound. Exactly 400,000 ZBC is Tier 05. The lifetime limit is 500,000 ZBC per buyer.
← Back to calculatorBelow 500 USD is treated as a donation with no ZBC allocated. The per-buyer lifetime cap is 500,000 ZBC.
PRICE WINDOW TIMELINE
Vesting is decided by the quantity you buy, using the same five tiers that set the price. Small allocations are liquid at genesis. Larger allocations are released in equal instalments over 6 to 24 months. Vesting is enforced by the protocol itself from the genesis block, in mint mode: coins that have not vested do not exist yet, cannot move, and cannot leak early.
Delivery cadence is the buyer's choice, at any interval down to the second, with daily, weekly and monthly as standard options. The first instalment arrives one period after genesis. Sale allocations are irrevocable: the foundation cannot cancel or claw them back, and only the recipient can redirect future instalments.
Shorter vesting. Give up 10% of your allocation to halve the vesting duration, or give up 20% to have the rest liquid at genesis. Coins given up are never minted and stay in the coinbase pool for the network.

Updated 5 Sep 2026HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Payments are accepted in supported cryptocurrencies (see below), including stablecoins, or through other arrangements with the Foundation, including bank transfer.
There is no payment gateway and no account to create. You send from your own wallet to a ZooBC Foundation address, and at mainnet the ZBC is credited to the exact same address you sent from, on the ZooBC chain. That is why two checks come before sending: the address must be verified against the blockchain, and the wallet you send from must be one whose private key you hold.
Your current result is $500.00 for 833.33 ZBC.
RecalculateThe minimum allocation is $500. Anything below is treated as a donation with no ZBC allocation.
Send only from a wallet whose private key or recovery phrase is yours: MetaMask, a hardware wallet, a mobile wallet you set up yourself. Never from an exchange account, whichever exchange it is, and never from a smart-contract wallet (Safe, Argent, account-abstraction wallets). The ZBC goes to the same address that sent the funds; if you cannot sign with that address, you can never move the ZBC.
Test it before you send, without exposing anything: with your own wallet, on any device, even one that is offline, sign the message: I control this address. Then open the signature checker, choose the chain, paste the message, the signature and your address. If the checker confirms the match, you hold the key. If your wallet cannot produce a signature at all, stop: it is not a wallet you control. The checker never asks for a private key or a recovery phrase; nothing that asks for those should ever be used.
Open the signature checkerEthereum-format address? The same private key that signs on Ethereum signs on ZooBC. You can already import it into the ZooBC testnet wallet to see the account, and a guide to moving ZBC with that key will be published before mainnet.
Do not trust the address as printed on this page. The official deposit addresses are published in one file, and the fingerprint of that file is recorded on the ZooBC blockchain. A hacked website can change a page; it cannot change the chain.
Any of these prints the SHA-256 fingerprint of the file. It must match the fingerprint shown on the verify page and on the chain.

Send from the wallet you tested in step 02, to the address you verified in step 03, on the matching network. USDC and USDT must travel on Ethereum. Preview every character before confirming; crypto transfers cannot be reversed.
USDC and USDT count at face value. Other coins convert to USD at the rate on the day they arrive. Keep the transaction ID: it is your only receipt. At mainnet, the same address receives its ZBC according to the published vesting.
You do not need to contact anyone. If you want a confirmation, message the foundation on Signal or by with the transaction ID. genesis [at] zoobc [dot] foundation
Never send from an exchange account or a smart-contract wallet. Never send on a network other than the one listed next to the address. Never use an address you did not verify against the chain. Each of these loses the funds with nothing to undo.
Coins sent from an exchange account leave from an address whose private key belongs to the exchange, not to you. At mainnet the ZBC would be credited to that address, and nobody could ever move it: not you, not the exchange, not the foundation. The only thing that moves ZBC is the private key or recovery phrase of the address that sent the funds.
If your crypto sits on an exchange, do not send from there. Withdraw it first to a wallet you control, one with a recovery phrase that is yours, and send from that wallet following the steps above. Or contact the foundation, give a ZBC receiving address you control, and use the assisted path.
Choose a supported asset below, verify its foundation address against the chain (step 03), and use Send in your wallet. USDC and USDT count at face value; other assets convert to USD at the rate on the day they arrive. At mainnet the ZBC is credited to the exact same address you sent from, and only its private key or recovery phrase can ever move it.
Network check: sending USDC or USDT here requires Ethereum. Do not choose Base, Solana, Polygon, or another network because the address looks compatible.
You do not need to buy cryptocurrency first. Message the ZooBC Foundation on Signal or email the foundation and say that you want to participate by bank transfer. Wait for the foundation to provide and confirm the transfer instructions before sending money.
Purchases can be made without a public identity. You provide only a ZooBC address or public key derived from your own BIP39 mnemonic. That address is included in the genesis block with the allocation.
Deposit addresses are provided at purchase time, so no one should expect a one-to-one public match between any listed deposit address and genesis allocations.
Open the ZooBC Foundation chat in Signal orIf you prefer not to contact anyone, deposit directly to one of the foundation accounts below. USDT and USDC count at face value; every other coin converts to USD at the rate on the day it is deposited.
The sale closes 7 February 2027, or when the public pool is gone, whichever comes first.
Every address below is also in deposit-addresses.txt. Verify the file against the chain (step 03) before using any of them.

ZooBC natively supports accounts in these address formats, so purchased ZBC is credited to the same address in ZooBC. The same private key that signs on the origin chain signs ZooBC transactions.
You can use the testnet wallet now: open the ZooBC wallet, choose Import a key, paste the recovery phrase or 64-character hex secret key, and select the matching wallet format. At mainnet, the same account appears in the genesis block and the same private key claims those funds, immediately or on their vesting schedule.
Generate a genesis account using the BIP39 instructions for Zoo Blockchain, coin type 883.
Review accepted assets, confirm the correct network and deposit address, provide only the required public ZBC address, and verify the allocation directly with the foundation.
Review official technical instructionsDo not self-manage a large crypto transaction without understanding custody, networks, wallet recovery, and address control. Start with guided participation instructions.

NETWORK COSTS
Every transaction uses one formula, and the resulting fees support the nodes keeping the network running.
Every transaction type pays a base action fee, currently 0.025 ZBC, multiplied by a network-voted fee scale, plus storage rent proportional to the bytes permanently stored. A bare transfer costs about 0.025 ZBC; storage rent becomes visible on large payloads.
The fee scale is voted monthly by registered nodes. The median revealed vote wins, and each adjustment is clamped between 0.5x and 2x. Storage rates require a two-thirds registry supermajority.
Overpaying the fee on a simple ZBC transfer is refunded automatically in the same block. Fees join the same participation-weighted pool as coinbase and are paid to network nodes.
The exception is the built-in exchange taker fee of 0.1%, which goes to the producer. For ZBC-backed tokens, a fee can be paid in the token itself: fee tokens are burned and an equal portion of their ZBC backing pays the network, so the sender does not need to hold ZBC to move a backed token.
NODE REWARDS
Rewards follow participation in the network, not hardware ownership or the size of a stake.
Every block's coinbase and transaction fees are paid across the nodes that keep the network running, weighted by participation score: being online, relaying, and vouching for other nodes' blocks with receipts.
Each block's reward goes to up to 15 winning nodes, one per second of block interval, selected through a participation-score-weighted lottery. A node's reward is an expectation over time, not a guaranteed payment on every block.
LIMITED GENESIS NODE ALLOCATIONS
Places open at $100 and the price rises in published steps as the cohort fills, up to $1,000. Earlier operators pay less. A place is tied to running the node: if the node is abandoned, the fee is not returned.
Contact the ZooBC Foundation to confirm availability, your current price, operating requirements, and the payment terms before sending funds.
Separate from the protocol stake. The node allocation fee is not a stake and is not paid in ZBC. It reserves a place in the genesis node cohort. The refundable 100 ZBC registration stake applies only to nodes that join after genesis. The price of the next available place is confirmed by the foundation when you apply.
GENESIS REGISTRY
To be eligible for the mainnet registry at genesis, a node must be registered and running on testnet for at least two months before genesis, and hold a genesis node allocation (see above). Three or more months on testnet is recommended because the emission curve is front-loaded.
IMPORTANT
The genesis supporter sale is run by the ZooBC Foundation on behalf of the network. ZBC has no guaranteed monetary value. Genesis allocations are a way to support the launch of a public network, not an investment product, and nothing on this page is financial advice. Support ZooBC because you believe in the technology. Total supply, the genesis cap, and the emission formula are protocol rules, not promises.
