How ZECPOP works

ZEC pairing

Every coin on ZECPOP is a TOKEN/ZEC market: you buy with ZEC, sell for ZEC, and all trading fees are paid in ZEC. The ZEC used here is the SPL token on Solana delivered by NEAR Intents (A7bd…QXaS), one of the most liquid ZEC representations on Solana.

Don’t have ZEC on Solana? On mainnet you can pay with SOL (swapped to ZEC via Jupiter in the same transaction), or bring native ZEC from a Zcash wallet with the bridge.

Trades on Solana are public. ZECPOP does not offer shielded (private) trading.

Launching a coin

• Pick a name, ticker, image and description. No presale, no team allocation — 100% of the 1,000,000,000 supply goes into the bonding curve.
• Cost: 0.02 SOL creation fee + ~0.025 SOL of Solana account rent and network fees, paid by the creator.
• Every mint address ends in …ZEC. It’s a platform signature, not a proof of authenticity — anyone can generate such addresses. A coin is on ZECPOP if it’s listed on this site.
• Token metadata is immutable after launch.

Bonding curve & graduation

Price follows a bonding curve: each buy moves the price up, each sell moves it down. When the curve has raised its target, it completes and liquidity migrates automatically to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool in the same pair, tradable on Jupiter and aggregators.

Graduated liquidity is locked forever: 50% platform, 50% creator. Both keep earning the pool’s trading fees. Graduation costs are paid by the migration executor, not by traders.

Fees

Every trade on the curve pays 1%, in ZEC, split as:

Creation fee: 0.02 SOL (0.018 platform / 0.002 protocol). Solana network fees are always paid in SOL.

Buyback & burn

30% of platform revenue buys the platform token on the market and burns it on-chain. To avoid feeding bots, buybacks are not scheduled:

• They run at unpredictable times and in variable sizes.
• They skip price spikes and buy more on dips.
• Each buy is capped so it barely moves the price, with a daily ceiling.

Results are published after execution — every burn is a public transaction on the burns page.

Bridge

The bridge moves ZEC between the Zcash network (native ZEC) and Solana (ZEC SPL) using NEAR Intents. It is non-custodial: you deposit to an address generated by NEAR Intents and receive in your own wallet — ZECPOP never holds your funds.

• Typical cost ~0.1%, ~8 minutes from Zcash to Solana. Quotes are estimates; the final amount is confirmed on delivery.
• Only transparent Zcash addresses (t1…) are supported. Deposits are visible on the Zcash chain.
• Payment QR codes follow ZIP-321, so wallets like Zashi fill address and amount automatically.
