How ZECPOP works

Markets terminal

The home page lists markets discovered automatically from Jupiter’s verified token list, refreshed every 10 minutes. Every card opens a terminal with a live chart and Buy with ZEC through the Zcash Gateway.

• Just Launched: assets that became tradable in the last 24 hours or 7 days, plus coins launched on ZECPOP. Coming Soon lists only real issuer announcements with a source link; each flips to live on its own once a verified token from that issuer trades on Solana with a working ZEC route.
• Stocks, portfolios, commodities, yield: only from known issuers (xStocks/Backed, Ondo, Backpack Securities, PreStocks and Tessera for pre-IPO exposure, Tether, Paxos), with real liquidity or a proven ZEC route. Tokens whose accounts start frozen (KYC allowlists) or that use a custom transfer hook are left out.
• Crypto & Memes: verified tokens only, with at least $500K liquidity (or $100K when trending) and a non-low organic score; tokens launched in the last 7 days also need a working ZEC route.
• Wallet in ZEC: /wallet values every token in your wallet in ZEC at the current price. Profit and loss is shown only when our own history — Gateway buys and sells (checked against the on-chain transaction) and trades on ZEC bonding curves — covers the whole balance; anything bought elsewhere shows value only.

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.

Leveraged launch

Creators can also launch a coin whose curve is priced in a leveraged token issued by Hylo on Solana: xSOL (Leveraged SOL, 4sWN…FfVs), xHYPE (Leveraged HYPE, 7ga6…YTvx), xBTC (Leveraged BTC, 2zCo…dgsL). Each one targets ~3x its underlying (Hylo pools target a 150% collateral ratio) and has no liquidation price. The coin’s curve reserve is held in that token, so the coin carries ~3x exposure to the underlying on top of whatever the coin itself does — in both directions.

• TOKEN/xSOL: curve 45.00K → 480.00K xSOL market cap; graduates at 112,517.9415 xSOL raised into a TOKEN/xSOL Meteora pool.
• TOKEN/xHYPE: curve 1.50K → 16.00K xHYPE market cap; graduates at 3,750.598 xHYPE raised into a TOKEN/xHYPE Meteora pool.
• TOKEN/xBTC: curve 1.80K → 19.00K xBTC market cap; graduates at 4,471.7125 xBTC raised into a TOKEN/xBTC Meteora pool.
• Buying: pay with the leveraged token directly, or on mainnet with SOL or ZEC — swapped into it via Jupiter and used on the curve in the same transaction. Selling works the same way in reverse. These markets need a little SOL for network fees (no ZEC-paid gas here).
• Fees: the trading fee (same split as ZEC markets) is paid in the leveraged token. Creators receive their share in it. The platform share is converted to ZEC via Jupiter by the fee job (batched: a swap only runs once it is worth at least 0.004 ZEC, to avoid dust) and then feeds the $POP buyback & burn exactly like ZEC fees: 30% plus 100% of any fair-launch (anti-sniper) excess, valued at the actual swap rate.
• ZECPOP does not mint, redeem or custody these tokens. Leverage floats (higher after drops, lower after rallies) as Hylo rebalances; holders pay Hylo a borrow rate through a slowly falling price.

Risk: the value of a leveraged-pair coin can fall with the underlying (SOL, HYPE, BTC…) even if nobody sells — a ~10% drop in the underlying is roughly a ~30% drop in the reserve token. “No liquidation price” does not mean no losses: if Hylo’s pool falls below 100% collateral (“Destabilized”), the leveraged token’s value approaches zero. Hylo is a third-party protocol with its own smart-contract, oracle and peg risks; it has been audited by OtterSec (Feb 2025) and Accretion (Dec 2025, Jul 2026) — audit reports. Audits reduce, but don’t remove, that risk.

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: no creation fee — only ~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:

No creation fee: launching only costs Solana account rent (~0.025 SOL). Solana network fees are always paid in SOL.

Fair launch

Snipers buy in the first seconds and dump on everyone else. New coins start with a launch fee: 50% at launch, falling step by step to the normal 1% after 120 seconds (a new step every 3 s). This is Meteora’s own on-chain fee scheduler — nobody can switch it off or change it for a coin, and after the window the fee is exactly 1% forever.

• The split is the same as always: Meteora keeps 20% of any fee, the creator gets their share of what is left.
• Everything the platform receives above the normal 0.40% during the window goes 100% to the $POP buyback & burn — we keep none of it. The normal part follows the usual rule (30% to the burn).
• Waiting costs nothing: the trade panel shows the current fee and a countdown, and quick buy asks before paying a launch fee.
• Each coin page has a Shield panel: supply bought in the first 10 s and first minute, sniper fees paid, the dev’s position and sells, top-10 holders and unique buyers.

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.

Holder rewards

Hold $ZPRINT, get paid in $POP every 10 minutes. 50% of platform revenue (in ZEC, after the sniper fees that go 100% to the burn) buys $POP on our own pool and is airdropped to holders — live on the rewards page.

• Revenue split: 30% buyback & burn · 50% holder rewards · 20% operations (referrals are paid from this part).
• Eligible: wallets holding at least 0.1% of $ZPRINT (75% of each round) or 0.1% of $POP (25%), pro-rata by balance. No wallet takes more than 5% of a round (relaxed to 2/N while fewer than 40 wallets qualify, so every round pays out in full).
• Your balance counts as the lowest of 3 snapshots taken at random, unannounced moments in the round — buying before a snapshot and selling after earns nothing.
• Bonding curves, AMM pools, LP and program accounts, known exchange wallets and ZECPOP’s own wallets are excluded.
• Paid automatically in batches to wallets that already have a $POP account; large shares get one created for them. Small shares wait on the rewards page until you claim (you pay the one-time ~0.002 SOL account rent).
• $ZPRINT’s own pump.fun creator fees are claimed about every minute: half buys $ZPRINT on the pump.fun chart from the rewards wallet and burns it (every buy and burn is listed on /rewards), the other half becomes ZEC that buys $POP for holders.

Referrals

Share your link from the referrals page. Wallets that join through it earn you 20% of ZECPOP’s platform fee share on every trade they make on ZEC-paired bonding curves — about 0.08% of their volume at the 1% fee. Their fees don’t change.

• Linking is a free signed message (no transaction). The first link is permanent; you can’t refer yourself.
• Paid in ZEC to your wallet automatically, once you have at least 0.001 ZEC pending and a ZEC token account (holding ZEC once is enough). Payouts are rate-limited per day.
• Paid from the share of revenue the platform keeps — the 30% buyback & burn allocation, the holder rewards and the fair-launch sniper fees (100% burned) are never used for referrals.

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 Zodl fill address and amount automatically when scanned. On a phone, copy the address and amount instead of opening the link.

Stocks, portfolios & RWA

Tokenized real-world assets from known issuers appear in the Stocks, Portfolios, Commodities and Yield tabs and are bought with ZEC through the Zcash Gateway.

• Buy: send ZEC from your Zcash wallet (or use ZEC already on Solana). When it lands, one signature swaps ZEC → asset via Jupiter. With no SOL, ZECPOP pays the Solana network fee and the token account rent and you reimburse it in ZEC in the same transaction.
• Sell: asset → ZEC, and optionally the ZEC goes straight to your transparent Zcash address (t1…) through NEAR Intents in the same transaction.
• Fees: 0.5% ZECPOP fee on buys and sells, in ZEC, plus the route’s price impact and the bridge fee when ZEC crosses networks.
• Token-2022: xStocks use the ScaledUiAmount extension — dividends and corporate actions change a multiplier, so the amount your wallet shows is the on-chain amount × multiplier. ZECPOP shows and accepts amounts in the same units your wallet shows.
• Issuer powers: these tokens are issued by third parties who can pause, freeze or claw back tokens (xStocks, Backpack, PreStocks and PAXG have a permanent delegate). Tokenized stocks give economic exposure, not shareholder rights; pre-IPO tokens are not shares of the company.
• Not for US persons: tokenized stocks, portfolios and USDY are not offered to US persons or sanctioned/restricted jurisdictions — xStocks legal, USDY eligibility. Not investment advice.
