Wrapped Zero [wZER] Article Summaries:

Wrapped Zero (wZER) Wrap-Up: 9th May, 2021

Wrapped Zero (wZER) is a cryptocurrency that is available on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and PancakeSwap. In April, wZER was airdropped to users who provided wZER/USDT liquidity on PancakeSwap. The wZER/USDT pair on PancakeSwap saw a significant amount of trading activity in April, with an average of 4,972 wZER bought or sold per day. The average daily wZER price in USDT also increased over the course of April. It is possible to convert wZER into ZER and ZER into wZER using the wrapping.services gateway, and it is also possible to move USDT between the BSC and ZER exchanges using the Binance Bridge or other methods. The ZER team is reportedly discussing future airdrops for ZER/USDT liquidity providers and staking options for ZER holders.

ZER is now available on the Binance Smart Chain & PancakeSwap

Wrapped Zero (wZER) is a version of the Zero (ZER) cryptocurrency that is available on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and can be traded on PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange for BEP20 tokens on the BSC. wZER on the BSC is designed to provide a fast and affordable decentralized exchange (DEX) trading experience, with a high-performance matching engine and front-running protection. In April, wZER will be airdropped to users who provide liquidity for the wZER/USDT pair on PancakeSwap. The BSC is an Ethereum clone that aims to provide an alternative to Ethereum with lower fees and faster transactions. PancakeSwap is a popular decentralized exchange that uses an automated market maker (AMM) model and has become the second largest decentralized finance (DeFi) platform by total value locked. By making wZER available on the BSC and PancakeSwap, Zero aims to expand its trading pairs, lower fees and faster transaction times for wZER, enable users to store wZER with other coins in their choice of wallets, and allow Zero to expand its DeFi offerings. ZER holders will also be able to earn passive income by contributing to a wZER pool on PancakeSwap.

What are Masternodes?

On blockchains like Zero’s, full nodes store a complete copy of the ledger, connect with peer nodes, and process/validate transactions. Because they are so important, coins like Zero provide incentives for running transaction-validating full nodes that can be trusted, called masternodes. These nodes are trusted because operators provide collateral (10,000 ZER) during set up.

Why run a Zero Masternode (ZeroNode)?

For Zero, 25% of the reward for each new block on the chain goes to a ZeroNode (1.35 of 5.40 ZER). Fewer ZeroNodes in the network mean that each node earns more ZER per day. At the time of this article, there were 104 ZeroNodes running, earning on average 8.1 ZER per day for a return on investment of 29.57% per year. Current numbers can be found on the ‘Wallet Info’ tab of the ZeroWallet.

That sounds great! How do I get started?

ZeroNodes can be hosted on your own using a VPS, or you can use a hosting service like Pecunia. These options are described more here.

Using a hosting service like Pecunia makes sense for many users because it is inexpensive (~$1 per month), secure (you keep your ZER collateral on your own wallet), and easy to set up.

Pecunia Platform

Step 1: Fund the ZeroNode

• Generate a new transparent (t) ZER address. In the ZeroWallet Receive tab, click on ‘New Address.’ Be sure to Export and save/backup the private key in a secure location!

• Send exactly 10,000 ZER to this new address in one transaction.
• Copy the transaction ID — you’ll need this later. To get the ID, you can right click the transaction on the ‘Overview’ tab and select ‘Copy txid’ to copy it. You can also find it by searching for your t address in the ZER block explorer: https://insight.zeromachine.io/insight/

Step 2: Pay for hosting on Pecunia

• Decide how long you want the ZeroNode to be hosted. It’s less expensive per month the longer you want it to be hosted: 1 month ($1.99), 3 months ($4.48), 6 months ($5.94). If you go for the 6 month option, hosting is less than $1 per month!
• Pay for hosting on the ‘Billing’ tab. Pecunia gives many crypto options to pay for hosting (BTC, ETH, etc.). We recommend selecting a coin that is easy to trade (on lots of exchanges), with fast confirmation times and low transaction fees. TRX works well for sending small payments like these. To pay for 6 months of hosting, enter at least $5.94 in the amount, and Pecunia will link to a payment service and tell you the amount of the coin you selected to send for payment.

• Once the Payment status shows as ‘Completed,’ your Pecunia account will be credited and you’re ready to deploy the ZeroNode.

Step 3: Deploy the ZeroNode on Pecunia

• Click on the plus (+) sign to add a new node.

• Select ZER and how long you want the node to be hosted.

• Enter your 10,000 ZER transaction ID into the proper field. Click ‘Check’

• Deploy the ZeroNode, selecting the new private key option. This will generate a new private key that you use when activating the ZeroNode. The ZeroNode private key is different from the private key for the t address that holds your collateral funds.

• Wait for the ZeroNode to be installed. This will take a few minutes.

• The status will change to syncing. Once it does that, you can click on the ZeroNode name or the gear icon to see the configuration information.

• You’ll need to copy the IP address and the ZeroNode private key. The transaction ID should match the information you provided earlier.

Step 4: Remotely Activate the ZeroNode in your ZeroWallet

• Go to the ZeroNodes tab in your wallet and click on ‘New ZN’.
• Enter a name for the ZeroNode under ‘Alias’, the IP address for the node, the ZeroNode private key, and the Transaction ID under ‘Output.’
• Click on ‘Update’

• Restart your wallet
• Check if the ZeroNode is ready for remote activation on Pecunia.

• Once the wallet has restarted and fully synced, right click the ZeroNode info under ‘Local ZeroNodes’ and select ‘Start.’ This will activate your ZeroNode.

Step 5: Profit!

Sometime in the next 18–24 hours, you should receive your first ZeroNode payment. After the first payment, subsequent payments will come every 4 hours or so, depending on how many ZeroNodes are currently in the network. It will be longer if the count of ZeroNodes is higher than when this article was written (104).

You’ll want to set up some notifications in Pecunia — you can be notified if the ZeroNode status changes and when payments are received.

If you need help, click on the Chat option in Pecunia (they respond quickly!) or their Discord server.

Help is also available in the #zero-nodes channel on the Zero Discord server.

Wrapped Zero (wZER) on YieldFields.Finance

We’re thrilled to announce that wZER is now listed for exchange and yield farming at https://yieldfields.finance/ on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC)!

As a privacy-focused coin and community, Zero is excited for this new development in ZeFi!

Zero already protects users’ anonymity through zk-SNARK shielded transactions when moving ZER onto and off of the BSC. Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like YieldFields enhance privacy while letting you stay in complete control of your private keys and funds, unlike centralized exchanges (CEXs).

There’s no need to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification to exchange wZER on YieldFields, and DEXs like YieldFields don’t require you to send funds to addresses you don’t control to exchange ZER.

ZeFi is all about:

• Maintaining privacy when you move ZER into ecosystems like BSC
• Accessing DEXs that let you stay in control of your funds when buying or selling wZER
• New DeFi opportunities like yield farming with wZER!

If you have wrapped ZER to the BSC, then you have already encountered the YieldFields team — they run wrapping.services where you exchanged ZER for wZER!

If you are new to wZER on the BSC, this guide covers how to set up a wallet on the BSC and how to wrap/unwrap ZER:

With funds on the BSC, you’re ready to buy and sell wZER. Connect a supported wallet like MetaMask or the Binance Chain Wallet, and then click on ‘Exchange’.

Exchange wZER

wZER is listed right there in the drop down menu so that you can exchange it for USDT, BUSD, BNB, and many other options.

Select wZER in Drop Down Menu

In addition to exchanging wZER, you can also earn a percentage of transaction fees by providing wZER/BUSD liquidity. You can then stake the liquidity provider tokens you receive for extra rewards!

Click on Liquidity in the Menu or Here

When you click on ‘Add Liquidity,’ select wZER and BUSD in the drop down menus to get LP tokens you can stake.

Add wZER and BUSD to get LP Tokens

Once you have wZER/BUSD LP tokens, you can stake them to earn FIELD tokens in the wZER/BUSD Farm. Click on ‘Farms’ to get started.

Check out that APR!

After you stake LP tokens, you’ll be able to click ‘Harvest’ to collect your earned FIELD tokens.

You can exchange earned FIELD for wZER, BUSD, or any other tokens supported on YieldFields. Then, you can add more liquidity and stake it to compound your earnings!

You can also stake FIELD on the ‘Pools’ page to earn more FIELD or the other tokens listed there.

Be sure to check out the YieldFields communities on Discord and Telegram for information and support.

We’re also here to help on Zero Discord and Telegram.

Happy Yield Farming!

wZER on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and PancakeSwap

One month into our campaign to build wZER/USDT liquidity, where do things stand?

ZER is now available on the Binance Smart Chain & PancakeSwap.

April Airdrops are Complete

5,000 wZER were airdropped to users providing wZER/USDT liquidity on PancakeSwap during April. By the final airdrop, 23 different users had provided liquidity and received airdrops.

PancakeSwap Contract Update

Toward the end of April, PancakeSwap requested that all liquidity be migrated to a new contract address, and most of the wZER/USDT liquidity has been migrated to the new contract. Liquidity providers on the new V2 contract can be viewed here, and liquidity providers on the old V1 contract can be viewed here. Because most wZER/USDT exchanges are running through the new V2 contract, you should move your liquidity from the V1 contract to the V2 contract if you have not done so already.

This website provides information and links on how to remove liquidity from V1 and add it to the V2 contract. If you run into difficulties, please contact us for support in our Discord or Telegram communities.

wZER/USDT Liquidity

As of May 4, there is 21,653 wZER and 8,609 USDT of liquidity in the V2 PancakeSwap contract, and 2,196 wZER and 837 USDT of liquidity in the V1 contract. Exchanges of 200 wZER have less than a 1% price impact in the V2 contract, and exchanges of 1000 wZER have less than a 5% price impact. Adding more liquidity will help make larger exchanges have less of a price impact!

wZER Information on PancakeSwap

Typically, wZER price and trade volume information will be available on the PancakeSwap info site, but the info site has been out of date due to really high trade volumes that are making it hard for the info site to keep up. Thankfully, PancakeSwap has a $150,000 development bounty running to design a tracking system that can keep up with their 35,000+ exchange pairs and 800,000+ daily transactions.

PancakeSwap Launches $150,000 Info Site Bounty

While PancakeSwap is working on the info site fix, we’ll keep you up to date with some graphs of wZER trade volume and price!

wZER Trade Volume in April

Although our wZER/USDT pair on PancakeSwap is still new, it saw some impressive trading action during April! On average, 4972 wZER were bought/sold per day, for a total of 144,194 wZER exchanged during April.

wZER Price in April

Here’s how the average daily wZER price (in USDT) changed over the course of April. April was a good month for ZER/wZER!

Moving Funds Between BSC and Exchanges

It’s easy to convert wZER into ZER and ZER into wZER using the wrapping.services gateway, but did you know that it’s also easy to move USDT between the BSC and ZER exchanges? Many exchanges support deposits and withdrawals of USDT using the TRX network (TRC-20) or the Binance Smart Chain (BEP-20), with low withdrawal fees for both options (~$0.30–1.00). You can use the Binance Bridge to move USDT onto the BSC using the TRX network — sometimes this option costs less or is the only option if BSC withdrawals aren’t supported and you want to avoid the high Ethereum (ERC-20) gas fees!

wZER Future Plans

Right now the ZER team is discussing future airdrops for ZER/USDT liquidity providers and staking options for ZER/USDT liquidity tokens. Stay tuned for all of the exciting developments to come!

Setting up ZER on Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

ZeFi on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and PancakeSwap

Now that we’re 2+ weeks into our wZER/USDT liquidity campaign, where do we stand?

What is ZeFi?

Zero (ZER) was launched in 2017 as a privacy-focused coin, here are some of the main features:

• Anonymity through zk-SNARK shielded transactions.
• A fair launch with no Initial Coin Offering (ICO) or pre-mine.
• Improved Decentralization by developing an ASIC-resistant mining algorithm.
• Fast Block Time — 120 Seconds.
• Rare Asset — 17 Million Max Supply.
• Low Inflation — Emission of 3888 ZER per day.
• Zero Masternodes — Improved network security.
• Zero Fee Transactions.

By enabling users to anonymize transactions when moving ZER onto and back off the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), ZER is helping users to maintain privacy while accessing the exciting world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). We call this ZeFi — Zero-enabled, private DeFi!

Wait, you’re telling me that ZER is on BSC and can be traded on PancakeSwap?

Here’s everything you need to get caught up on wrapped Zero (wZER) on the Binance Smart Chain!

ZER is now available on the Binance Smart Chain & PancakeSwap.

wZER on PancakeSwap

Right now, wZER can be traded with USD-T on PancakeSwap, and we have been doing weekly airdrops to liquidity providers to get this started. Here’s where we stand as of April 16, 2021.

• 54,350 ZER have been wrapped on BSC as wZER.
• Over 20,000 wZER and $10,000 USDT of liquidity have been added so that users can exchange wZER <-> USDT on PancakeSwap.
• With this amount of liquidity, trades of ~200 wZER have a price impact of ~1%. Adding more liquidity will make it so that users can exchange more wZER with less of an impact on wZER price.

Airdrops to Liquidity Providers

So far, we have done weekly airdrops of 1,250 wZER to wZER/USDT liquidity providers on April 5 and 12, 2021. It’s not too late — there are two more airdrops coming for users with at least 50 wZER/USDT liquidity tokens or at least 1% of the liquidity pool.

Snapshots for the airdrops will be made at 11:00 UTC on:

• Monday 19th April
• Monday 26th April

Here’s the list of current wZER/USDT liquidity providers:

Wrapped Zero (wZER) Update: 18th April. was originally published in Zerocurrency on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

ZER is now available on the Binance Smart Chain & PancakeSwap.

How do I get started?

Here’s a short guide. To complete this process, you will need an amount of ZER and BEP-20 BNB for the gas fees on BSC.

BSC Gas Fees:

Contract Approvals ~ 0.000444 BNB
Swap/LP ~ 0.002 BNB

1. Download the Metamask extension for Chrome and create a new wallet. Make sure to back up your passphrase and store it in a safe place. Other wallets are also supported and you may choose to use one of them. This guide only covers Metamask for Chrome. Metamask also supports Ledger and Trezor.

Note: If your using Trust wallet or Binance Wallet, here’s two good references on how to set them up for BSC:

• How to Set Up and Use Trust Wallet for Binance Smart Chain
• Binance Extension Wallet

2. Connect Metamask to the BSC. Metamask is an ETH native wallet but you can configure it to run on BSC. Make sure that you are using Metamask on the right chain and do not send any BEP-20 tokens to an ERC-20 address. They look exactly the same.

ChainID: 56

Symbol: BNB

Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com

Note: Copy your wZER Address by clicking on the account name just before the three dots at the top. This is going to be your wZER address — which you will use to direct proceedings from your ZER swap.

Now you have a wallet and a BSC address. You can send any BEP-20 tokens to this address just like you would hold any ERC-20 tokens on an Ethereum address. If you experience wallet trouble (PancakeSwap token balances not loading), then try switching to a different BSC — RPC URL and try again.

3. Swap ZER for wZER through the Wrapping.Services gateway below:

Note: Please remember the minimum amount you’re able to wrap is $7.50 (Currently 21 ZER).

Swap ZER wZER

To complete the swap, you will first input the amount that you want to swap and indicate the BSC address (wZER BEP-20) where you want to receive them. The current minimum amount is 21 ZER. In the next step you will be prompted to send the ZER to an address. Once completed, you will receive the wZER in your BSC address.

IMPORTANT!

• Always send the exact net amount considering the transaction fee.
• Make sure that you are using the authentic bridge. Do not use any other gateways — this is the only original and legitimate gateway to receive wZER.

The swap process is almost instant. If you run into any difficulties, you can talk to the Wrapping.Services team in their support server. To unwrap wZER you can use the same gateway. Just click the multi directional arrows for “wZER/ZER”.

4. Now you have wZER on your BSC address. If they don’t show up directly in your balance, select add token/custom token in Metamask and search for wZER by its contract address.

How to contribute to the wZER/USDT Liquidity Pool on PancakeSwap?

By contributing to the wZER/USDT liquidity pool, you don’t only just earn a part of the trading fees on every transaction (0.17% of the traded assets), but also earn additional rewards in proportion of your contribution to the pool.

1. Connect Metamask to PancakeSwap.Finance:

🥞 PancakeSwap - A next evolution DeFi exchange on Binance Smart Chan (BSC)

Note: In order for you to be able to contribute to the pool, you will need to have both, wZER BEP -20 and USDT BEP-20, plus BNB to cover transaction fees.

USDT BEP-20 Contract Address-0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955

Note: Please ensure that you have the “Binance Smart Chain” selected.

2. Follow the instructions and you should be able to connect your wallet. Once your wallet is connected, you should be able to see your BSC account address in the top right corner (hidden in the screen below). Click on “Add Liquidity” button and you’re ready to contribute to the pool. Make sure to search for wZER when selecting from the token list, by using the contract address in the search bar.

Note: When you go to search for the wZER token by contract address, you have the option to add it to your “local” list which is useful, as you don’t need to keep searching by contract address each time.

3. Add liquidity to the wZER-USDT pool. To do this, you will need a given ratio of both tokens and some BNB for the fees. Once you have added liquidity, you’ll be a liquidity provider for this pool, where users can exchange wZER for USDT.

Note: Liquidity can also be added for other assets to enable wZER trading in new pairs.

4. Now that you’re providing liquidity to the wZER/USDT liquidity pool, you will instantly start earning rewards via the Cake-LP token & trading fees. We suggest you add this token to your Metamask wallet and update the name so you don’t get confused with other LP tokens, that you may hold.

Example: “ZER-Cake-LP”

Cake-LP BEP-20 Contract Address — 
0xad7b5e295a476c43f1fc3b7bb945030e9e9ffdc6

5. You can check all the ZER-Cake-LP holders by visiting the link below 👇

6. You’re all done. Your contribution is now in the pool. You are now earning on every trade and any additional rewards that are available for the contributors of the pool. Your contributions to the pool are visible at the bottom. Sit back and enjoy. Welcome to the world of DeFi & Automated Market Makers!

Returning back to monitor or change your contribution?

If you close your screen to come back later to see your pool contribution details again, you will see your pool contribution under “Your Liquidity” (while your wallet is still connected).

Clicking on the “wZER/USDT” dropdown will take you to the following screen, which provides your details and options to add more liquidity or remove full or part of your contribution if you want.

How to trade wZER with other tokens?

1. Connect your wallet to PancakeSwap.

2. Navigate to PancakeSwap’s exchange page

Note: Any token that is supported on PancakeSwap can be used to swap for wZER.

3. Select the pair you want to trade.

Choose the token you want to buy by selecting from the “To” list. If you don’t see the token in the default list, please get the BSC contract address of the token to find it.

In the “From” list, provide the coin or token you want to spend (sell).

In this case, we’ll be buying wZER with USDT. So this is what the screen looks like:

Click on the “Confirm” button and you’ll receive your wZER in your Metamask Wallet.

Setting up ZER on Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

wZER is now available on the Binance Smart Chain — providing the fastest, most-affordable Decentralized Exchange (DEX) trading experience anywhere in the world, limiting dependence on Centralized Exchanges (CEXs).

wZER BEP-20 enables a high-performance matching engine, with hundreds of thousands of trades per second, instant execution and front-running protection.

Before you proceed, here’s what we mean when we say ZER, wZER or BSC:

ZER — refers to ZER (Zero) on the native Blockchain.

wZER — refers to wZER (Wrapped Zero) on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

BSC — refers to the Binance Smart Chain.

5000 wZER will be airdropped to liquidity providers who take part in the PancakeSwap wZER/USDT pool during April. Weekly snapshots will take place and LP token holders will be rewarded with wZER according to the percentage of the liquidity they hold in the pool. When you provide liquidity you automatically start earning a part of the each trading fee (0.17%) on every transaction. Keep reading to learn all the details.

If you have not onboarded to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) yet, this will be the best time to do it. As an informed blockchain enthusiast on top of major Decentralized Finance (DeFi) trends, you can get a chunk of the airdrop by swapping some ZER to wZER and providing liquidity on PancakeSwap Binance’s most innovative and largest DeFi exchange.

What is Binance Smart Chain?

In essence BSC is an Ethereum clone. While gas fees in the Ethereum DeFi universe have become unsustainable as every action requires an on-chain transaction, BSC has emerged as a worthy competitor. BSC has the same set of tools and functionalities as Ethereum and innovative projects like PancakeSwap have gained traction in the last months.

What is PancakeSwap?

PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange for swapping BEP20 tokens on Binance Smart Chain. PancakeSwap uses an automated market maker (AMM) model where users trade against a liquidity pool. Such pools are filled with users’ funds. They deposit them into the pool, receiving liquidity provider (or LP) tokens in return. They can use those tokens to reclaim their share, plus a portion of the trading fees. PancakeSwap has become the second biggest DeFi platform after Uniswap with billions of USD in locked value.

Note: The Binance Smart Chain only works with BEP-20 addresses. Please make sure you use a BEP-20 address (beginning with ‘0x’) NOT BEP-2 address (address beginning with ‘bnb’) to store or transact wZER, BUSD, BNB or any other coins on Binance Smart Chain.

What are the benefits of getting ZER on Binance Smart Chain & PancakeSwap?

1. ZER will be available on a DEX. Anyone in the world will be able to buy ZER (as wZER — the wrapped version of ZER) on the Binance Smart Chain using PancakeSwap. Both (T) Transparent & (Z) Private addresses are compatible, enabling investors access to private DeFi.

2. Expansion of trading pairs — users will be able to swap wZER directly with many other tokens listed on PancakeSwap & Binance Smart Chain.

3. Lower fees and faster transactions for wZER trading on BSC and PancakeSwap compared to other DEXs.

4. Users will be able to store their wZER with other coins, with their choice of wallets (like Metamask, Trust Wallet, & other wallets supported by the Binance Smart Chain).

5. Zero will be able to further expand its DeFi offerings by leveraging PancakeSwap’s foundational capabilities like Liquidity Pool Rewards, Staking, Farming, etc.

6. ZER holders will have yet another choice to earn a passive income (today they earn by staking using shared pools or via running a Zero Masternode). They will now be able to earn by contributing to a wZER pool.

7. Reduced dependency on CEXs — tokens often get adversely affected by exchanges or country-specific policies. DEX pools ensure users’ ability to trade in the listed token is never affected. Users also stay in control with no funds sitting in a hackable CEX wallets.

8. By integrating with the Binance Smart Chain, ZER already becomes a part of the Binance Ecosystem. This helps with the efforts in the direction of listing with Binance DEX & CEX.

9. wZER will be able to leverage BscScan — an industry leading explorer — for high-level insights in real-time.

10. Project awareness and expansion of the community — ZER’s presence on the Binance Ecosystem will help spread more awareness about Zero’s Ecosystem and attract new community members.

What is wZER?

Wrapped Zero (wZER) is a Binance Smart Chain token. It belongs to the BEP-20 token standard, a clone of ERC-20 tokens. Wrapping.Services is the maintainer of the ZER/wZER bridge and of the wZER BSC smart contract. Users can opt to swap an amount of ZER for wZER in order to use them on the Binance Smart Chain. Users are able to swap these tokens back to ZER at any time. Both T & Z addresses are compatible, meaning both transparent & private transactions are accepted. For every ZER you send to the bridge, you will receive 1 wZER on the BSC. The total amount of wZER in circulation is always the total amount of ZER wrapped through the bridge. wZER that are unwrapped are burnt automatically by Wrapping.Services. wZER was created in an effort to amplify ZER’s functionality, visibility and to enable investors’ access to private DeFi.

What can I do with wZER?

wZER gives you access to the whole BSC DeFi Ecosystem. wZER will be first available at PancakeSwap with a wZER/USDT pool where you can exchange your wZER for USDT or any other asset that has a pool on PancakeSwap, even if it is not directly connected. This is done through a set of smart contracts that provide an automatic routing process. You can also opt to add wZER liquidity to an existing pool or to create a new liquidity pool to pair wZER to any asset of your choice.

When will the airdrops be taking place?

To get the ball rolling and incentivise early liquidity providers, a series of weekly airdrops will be taking place during April with additional airdrops planned for future dates.

The current airdrop proposal is for 5000 wZER. 100% of the airdrop will be disbursed to liquidity pool token holders who are providing liquidity to the wZER/USDT pool.

Here’s the current distribution of LP tokens:

Pancake LPs Token Contract and Distribution Chart

This distribution will be based on 4 snapshot times throughout April. After each snapshot a total of 1250 wZER will be airdropped to the LP token holder addresses according to the percentage of the pool they hold. Make sure to save the following dates!

• Monday 5th April - Snapshot 11:00 UTC
• Monday 12th April - Snapshot 11:00 UTC
• Monday 19th April - Snapshot 11:00 UTC
• Monday 26th April - Snapshot 11:00 UTC

Can we edit the BNB fee for transactions?

Experienced Metamask users may use the EDIT option to change the network fee for cheaper transaction fees. However, we suggest you leave the default fee in place as sometimes it can show as a failed transaction if set too low.

Is the total supply of wZER+ZER going to be more than total supply of ZER?

No. The total supply stays the same as the total supply of ZER. When you convert ZER to wZER, your ZER is locked and no one will have access to it until you convert back from wZER to ZER (you don’t have to.) If you choose to convert wZER to ZER, the amount of wZER you are converting is automatically burnt and an equal amount of ZER is unlocked and transferred to you.

DeFi just like Blockchain, is still very young and experimental. Please make sure that you understand all the risks. Do not use these technologies if you’re not aware of the risks and willing to run them.

⚠️This release creates a new Transaction Archive and will automatically reindex on first load. Please check the update log, plan accordingly & backup your wallets⚠️

Archived Transactions
Transactions are now saved to the wallet in a minimalistic fashion so that they may be recovered from the blockchain. The new structure only contains enough data to pinpoint the transaction on the blockchain and retrieve after they have been deleted from the active transactions using the deletetx functions. Active transactions are unchanged and still retain all of the original data structures.

Updated RPC
Multiple RPC have been updated to provide exchanges with detailed transaction information for both incoming and outgoing addresses. All of these updated RPCs utilize the new Archived Transaction feature to provide full wallet history.
zs_gettransaction
zs_listtransactions
zs_listrecievedbyaddress
zs_listspentbyaddress
zs_listsentbyaddress

Extended Full View key support
Extended Full view key support has been added to the full node so that users can see all of the incoming and outgoing transactions associated to this key. Support for this key is present in all of the new RPC calls above.

Disable prune mode, require txindex
Txindex is required for the Archived Transactions function to work correctly, prune mode is incompatible with txindex
