The first pour
in Veridia.

Zip is Matt Furie's barback. Zipcoin is the money from Vitalik Buterin's novel. One of them came down from orbit to collect a tab. $ZIP is what happened next.

01 / A stranger in Meldan

A barback with no rep,
in a country that runs on proof.

CHAPTER 01

The Tab ↗

The ring turns once every longhour, so the Brewhouse gets a sunrise every longhour, and Zip has stopped looking at them.

“He had no way to prove that he was someone to talk to, except perhaps for burning a hundred zipcoins at his doorstep.”Snowmoon, ch. 20

02 / How the Doorstep pours

Pour small. Tab small.
Everyone gets served.

01

The door.

Trading starts closed. The owner opens it once. It can never be closed again. On-chain: openDoor().

doorOpen()
02

House rules.

For the launch, no pour (transaction) over 0.3% of supply and no tab (wallet) over 2%. Lifted once, never restored. On-chain: liftHouseRules().

houseRules()
03

The keg.

All launch liquidity sits in one Uniswap v4 position, minted straight into the ZIP contract and zipped. While zipped, nobody can decrease or withdraw it. Only tips (swap fees) can be collected.

isZipped(tokenId)
04

The pair.

ZIP trades against ZC, the zipcoin from Snowmoon. Only ZIP went into the keg. Every buy fills it with ZC.

32 CHAPTERS · A NOVEL

06 / A world worth reading

It started with a book.

Snowmoon is a 32 chapter novel by Vitalik Buterin, free under GPL v3. Veridia, the green circle, privacy robes, burning zipcoins at a door: all of it is in there. Read it.

zipcoin.cash shipped the money from the book and keeps a book of their own: every message ever burned to speak. We are guests in both.
