Alignment with ZERA Principles
Decentralization
Non-custodial architecture ensures users maintain complete control. No intermediary custody, no exchange dependency—true decentralization preserved.
Accessibility
Removes technical barriers for mainstream users unfamiliar with crypto exchanges, making ZERA accessible to a significantly broader audience.
Compliance
Licensed payment processors handle regulatory requirements, providing institutional-grade compliance without compromising decentralization.
Community Control
ZERA governance retains full authority to modify, discontinue, or enhance the service at any time through community vote.
Next Steps: Community Approval
Governance Vote Required
This proposal requires community approval through ZERA's governance process. Upon approval, the 10,000 ZRA will be allocated from Treasury funds under the IIT construct (Innovative Initiatives Token).
Implementation Timeline
Submission: Voting period December IIT cycle
Duration: 4-8 weeks
Giving Back to the ZERA Community

A small percentage of the transaction fee is available to the proposer. With this in mind, 0,1% of transaction gross volume (from the total purchase amount) of any token supported through our platform on the ZERA Network (or derivatives) will be donated to the ZERA treasury.

This Infrastructure Positions ZERA for Growth
For 10,000 ZRA, ZERA receives complete payment infrastructure that makes the token accessible to mainstream users while maintaining governance-first, decentralized architecture.
CEX-like convenience without centralization
