Solution

A transparent rand leg for tokenised assets and DeFi.

Settle tokenised instruments, pools and protocols in a rand asset that is attested each month and verifiable on-chain. Rand price feeds are live on Base through IFÁ Labs.

The operational problem

What the current flow costs you.

Tokenised rand-denominated instruments need a settlement asset in the same unit. Settling in a USD stablecoin adds an FX leg to every coupon, subscription and redemption. Protocols need a rand asset with verifiable backing and an oracle feed they can trust.

How ZARP changes the flow

Four steps, in rand, on-chain.

  1. Denominate. Issue the instrument in rand. Subscriptions, coupons and redemptions settle in ZARP.
  2. Price. Read the rand price on-chain through IFÁ Labs oracle infrastructure on Base.
  3. Settle. Smart contracts move ZARP on schedule. Every payment has an immutable record.
  4. Verify. Investors check the reserve attestation and on-chain supply at any time.

Who it is for

Built for these teams.

Asset managers and issuers

DeFi protocols

Custodians and platforms

Settlement and reporting for tokenised holdings in rand.

Example transaction journey

One transaction, end to end.

  1. An issuer tokenises a rand-denominated note and sets ZARP as the settlement asset.
  2. Investors subscribe in ZARP. The contract records each subscription on-chain.
  3. Each quarter the contract pays coupons in ZARP to holders in seconds, on the scheduled date.
  4. At maturity the contract redeems principal in ZARP. Holders exit through a listed partner or hold the balance.

  • Formal KYB and compliance review with the issuer before mint and redemption access.
  • DeFi has risks. Smart contracts can fail. Pool values and rewards can change. This is not financial advice.
