Solution

One verified contract for exchanges and liquidity.

List, quote and provide liquidity against one contract address on the EVM chains and a Token-2022 mint on Solana. Approved partners mint and redeem 1:1 through the issuer.

The operational problem

What the current flow costs you.

Exchanges and market makers that support rand pairs need a token with verifiable backing, deep on-chain liquidity and a clean path to par. Multiple contract addresses and unclear redemption routes add integration work and inventory risk.

How ZARP changes the flow

Four steps, in rand, on-chain.

  1. Integrate. Add the ZARP contract. The address is identical on Ethereum, Base, Polygon and Gnosis.
  2. List. Open ZARP/ZAR and ZARP/USD-stablecoin pairs. Existing listed exchanges include OVEX, ChainEX and AFRIDAX.
  3. Provide liquidity. Seed pools on listed DEXs. ZARP pools on Aerodrome earn AERO emissions. Pool terms and rewards change over time.
  4. Settle at par. Approved partners mint and redeem 1:1 with the issuer to manage inventory. Subject to partner terms.

Who it is for

Built for these teams.

Centralised exchanges and CASPs

Market makers and OTC desks

DEX and liquidity protocols

Stable pools with a rand leg on Base, Ethereum, Polygon and Solana.

Example transaction journey

One transaction, end to end.

  1. An exchange applies to the partner network and completes KYB.
  2. The exchange sends R5,000,000 to the reserve. ZARP mints 5,000,000 ZARP to the exchange's authorised wallet.
  3. Clients trade ZARP/ZAR on the exchange. Withdrawals go to any of the five chains.
  4. At month end the exchange redeems excess inventory. ZARP burns the tokens and pays rands to the exchange's bank account.

  • Formal KYB and compliance review with the issuer before mint and redemption access.
  • Authorised wallets are registered with the issuer for mint and redemption.
