Protocol-first 100% of ZHEN is minted by users

ZHEN.finance is a community-minted value protocol.

No premine. No hidden allocation. No owner price control. Every ZHEN token is created on-chain by members interacting with the protocol under transparent rules that cannot be changed by a single individual.

Core principle: Community-minted · Code-governed
ZHEN is designed so that supply, price tiers, and rewards follow on-chain logic — not manual decisions or private switches.

Our Protocol

ZHEN is built around a simple idea: value should be created by the community, not pre-allocated to insiders. The protocol focuses on transparent rules, on-chain supply, and user-driven price discovery.

Built for users, not insiders

Every ZHEN token must be minted by a user interacting with the contract. There is no pre-minted stash for founders, advisors or private investors.

No premine No hidden supply No special wallets

On-chain, rule-based design

Minting, pricing tiers and reward flows are all governed by smart contracts. The behaviour is deterministic and auditable — not dependent on off-chain promises.

Smart contract logic Verifiable behaviour No manual overrides

100% User Minting

ZHEN has no pre-minted supply. Tokens enter circulation only when real users interact with the protocol, keeping emissions tied to genuine participation.

No premine. No hidden bags.

The protocol starts with no initial circulating supply reserved for any party. Tokens are minted at the moment of user contribution, under the same rules for everyone.

Aligned with participants

Because there is no premine, early and later users follow the same minting curve. There is no special discount or private allocation that can be dumped onto the market.

Same curve for all Activity-driven supply Protocol-level fairness

Price Tier Controlled by Members

ZHEN uses a tiered pricing curve that steps up automatically when member contributions reach predefined thresholds. No admin can manually reset or override the tier.

On-chain pricing curve

The price tier is a function of protocol state — such as total minted value — rather than a decision by an owner. This keeps minting predictable and transparent.

Movement by community demand

As more users mint ZHEN, the protocol moves through its tiers. If demand grows, the mint price rises according to the curve encoded in the contract.

No owner price control Tier = function of demand Immutable thresholds

Governance & Direction

Over time, ZHEN is intended to move toward DAO-style governance, where decisions around treasury and protocol evolution are guided by the community under clear rules.

DAO-oriented vision

Governance is not meant to be centralized in one wallet. The goal is to allow structured, on-chain decision-making driven by the wider community.

Transparent actions, verifiable history

Treasury flows, token allocations and upgrades are intended to be visible on-chain. Instead of trusting announcements, users can track real actions.
