What is the Zip coin memecoin (ZC)?

Zip coin (ZC) is an ERC-20 meme token on Ethereum inspired by the fictional "zipcoin" currency in Snowmoon, a science-fiction novel by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. The token implements book-inspired mechanics on top of 0xbow's Privacy Pools: privacy-pool transfers and burn-to-message on-chain publishing. Zip coin launched through Stockereum, a meme/stocks launchpad on Ethereum. Per the official docs, the project is not affiliated with Vitalik Buterin, 0xbow, or Aztec.

Is Zip coin a meme coin?

Yes. Zip coin is a meme token launched through the Stockereum.fun launchpad, and it trades and is discussed as a meme coin. Valuation is purely speculative, and the smart contracts are unaudited. Unlike most meme tokens, ZC carries product mechanics — burn-to-message publishing and privacy-pool transfers — but the official docs frame these as book-inspired experiments, not infrastructure.

What did Vitalik Buterin write about zipcoins in Snowmoon?

In Snowmoon, a novel Buterin published on his personal website around September 27, 2026, zipcoins are the fully anonymized currency of the fictional country Veridia. Users burn zipcoins to publish messages. Sales tax flows to the government in real time. The ZC token is an independent implementation of those fictional mechanics — Buterin has no affiliation with the token.

How can you verify the official Zip coin contract address on Ethereum?

The official Zip coin (ZC) contract on Ethereum is 0x4E67DB19044549fF420860834c91b45BaD298722, verifiable on Etherscan. The deployed bytecode embeds the launch tag "Launched on Stockereum.fun - #1 Meme/Stocks Launchpad on Ethereum". Per the official docs, the contracts are ownerless, with no mint function and no code path to reduce supply.

What is Zip coin's maximum token supply?

Per DropsTab data, the maximum supply is capped at 1,000,000,000 ZC — a fixed genesis amount written into the contract. No owner and no mint function can raise that cap. No allocation breakdown between team, community, and liquidity is publicly disclosed, so holder concentration cannot be assessed from public data.

Does Zip coin have investor unlocks or a vesting schedule?

No vesting schedule, cliff periods, or investor unlocks exist for Zip coin. The token launched through the Stockereum launchpad rather than documented venture rounds, and no backers are named publicly. The project's treasury runs on fee flow — 0.5% of Stockereum swap volume in ETH — rather than external capital. The undisclosed allocation itself remains a concentration risk for buyers.

How do Zip coin's zip, unzip, speak, and knock functions work?

Per the official docs, "zip" deposits ZC into a Privacy Pool, and "unzip" executes a zero-knowledge withdrawal. "Speak" burns ZC to publish an undeletable on-chain message of up to 280 bytes. "Knock" burns ZC at an ENS "door" with an optional gift. The docs warn that the privacy pool is small, so ZC privacy is statistical rather than absolute, and the contracts are unaudited.

What fees does the Zip coin system charge?

Stockereum applies a 1% swap fee on ZC trades. Of that volume, 0.5% flows to the zipcoin treasury in ETH in real time — half earmarked for buybacks and burns, half for prizes and costs. Additional protocol fees include a 0.5% vetting fee on zips and a 1% relay fee on note spends. These launchpad fees sit on top of exchange trading fees.

Where can you buy Zip coin (ZC)?

ZC trades on multiple centralized spot venues per DropsTab data — LBank and MEXC in ZC/USDT, plus MEXC in ZC/USD1 — with a ZC perpetual futures market on MEXC Futures. On-chain, liquidity sits on Uniswap V4 on Ethereum across 40+ pools, mostly ZC/WETH, ZC/USDC, and ZC/USDT. Per the docs, all DEX liquidity is pooled in a single Uniswap v4 position owned by the launch hook — liquidity is thin, and CEX listings are limited to mid-tier venues.
