Developer Pathways

Whether you’re building apps, launching tokens, or designing infrastructure, ZERA provides multiple entry points:

Launch a token – Deploy your own token and optionally apply for ACE status, enabling native fee payment and validator staking.
Build dApps – Smart contracts with governance hooks, permission layers, and transparent upgrade paths.
Create interfaces – Earn sustainably through interface fees; monetize without custody or gatekeepers.

Funding & Programs

Governance has the power approve proposals for funding. For example:

Treasury Grants – Fund open-source tools, audits, and ecosystem expansion.
IIT (Innovation Initiatives Token) – 30M+ ZERA allocated for experiments, research, and hackathons.
ZMT (ZERA Marketing Token) – Support for adoption, education, and awareness campaigns.
ZIP (ZERA Improvement Protocol) – Protocol-level upgrades proposed and executed by governance.

Interoperability

ZERA is built to connect.

Governance-aligned bridges: For example, ZERA–Solana via community-controlled Guardians.
Origin identity preserved: Bring assets across chains while unlocking ACE utility, staking, and governance rights.
Future-proof design: Bridge patterns adaptable to other chains and L2s.

Smart Coin Lifecycle

ZERA’s coin supply isn’t managed through mining or printing—it’s governed by community participation and fully enforced by the network itself.

Smart Contracts

WASM-powered: Write in Rust, Go, C, AssemblyScript, or other languages.

Sandboxed & performant: Near-native execution with safety guarantees.
Governance-aware: Contracts can be permissionless or permissioned, and upgrades can be autonomously ratified.
