100% Fair • No Premine • No Dev Fees

The Proof-of-Work
Layer for the Open Web

Miner-focused decentralized layer 1 blockchain: no premine, no dev fees, no instamine. Built to be the open data & logic layer for forums, blogs, and mini-sites.

Why Proof-of-Work

PoW is the only model where security equals real work. It’s neutral, open to anyone who can mine, and doesn’t require buying coins from insiders to participate. In an era where most EVM chains are PoS or private networks, ZapChain commits to the original decentralized path.

Miner-Focused

100% of block rewards go to miners. No hidden taxes, no dev siphons.

🛡️

Fair Security

Security comes from hashpower, not stake weight or permissioned validators.

🌍

Open to All

Anyone can participate by mining—no need to buy from someone else first.

Fair Launch & Token Distribution

0%

No Premine

The team holds no coins at genesis. Distribution is earned, not allocated.

💯

No Dev Fees

Block rewards are not taxed. We build, maintain, and invest alongside everyone else.

⛏️

No Instamine

1T genesis difficulty to avoid early exploitation; a legitimately fair start.

🚫

No Premine

The team holds 0 coins at genesis. 100% fair launch.

💯

No Dev Fees

Block rewards are never taxed. Miners keep it all.

ZAP Currency Utilities

ZAP serves as the native currency of the ZapChain network with multiple core utilities:

  • Gas for transactions and smart contracts
  • Fees for deploying and interacting with dApps
  • Payment rail for services built on ZapChain
  • Incentives for miners and app-level mechanisms
  • Collateral and accounting unit inside on-chain protocols
  • Store of value within the ZapChain ecosystem

Features of a ZapChain

🌐

Fully Decentralized

No premine. No dev fees. No central authority. Governance belongs entirely to miners and users — making ZapChain fair, transparent, and censorship-resistant.

🔗

EVM Compatibility

Seamlessly deploy Solidity contracts and use Ethereum tooling. Everything familiar from Ethereum works on ZapChain out of the box.

⏱️

12.5s Blocks

Fast confirmations with consistent block times. A balance of speed and Proof-of-Work integrity for dApps and miners alike.

🚫

No Uncle Blocks

Every block counts. No dilution, no wasted work — predictable issuance and clean, stable economics for miners.

♾️

No Max Supply

Mining incentives never end. With no cap, the chain stays secure and sustainable, rewarding miners as long as it runs.

📉

Low Emission

With only 0.10 ZAP per block, ZapChain keeps issuance extremely low. Scarcity ensures long-term sustainability and value preservation.

Our Vision — The Open Web

ZapChain is a data & logic layer for the Open Web: forums, blogs, and mini-sites that are censorship-resistant and permanent. On PoS chains you often need to buy your stake from others. On PoW you can mine your way in — an open on-ramp aligned with decentralization.

Developers can anchor content on-chain (text, metadata, hashes) while referencing heavier assets via decentralized storage (e.g. IPFS). Verifiable. Durable. Open.
