Zie (Z) is a new breed of mixed currency with both a digital and a physical form. It can be used for physical exchange of coins or as electronic currency within the Z ecosystem. The value of the Zie is pegged to something that has a real value, currently pegged to the US currency and using the American economy has a basis to hold its value. It is meant to act as a common and stable international currency that can be used for international transactions or any transactions that need to convert to a different currency at some point along the supply chain with no transaction fees. Once inside the Z ecosystem, movements of money between account holders is limitless, regardless of the physical location of the account holder.

Zies are not mined, they are acquired at a fixed rate and their nominal value never changes. Getting a Z is not a purchase per say and is not subject to any additional taxes. A Z is merely a token, given to the account holder as a token for holding real currency on his behalf, which gives the Z its nominal value. Since it is backed by real currency asset, it cannot lose its value compared to the pegged currency. Thanks to its physical nature, it can increase in value based on the uniqueness of each and every coin which foster demand that exist for each coin.

Like a postage stamp, each coin can have far greater value than its own nominal value (but never lower) based on the uniqueness of its look and demand associted to it. The nominal value of a postage stamp lies in the value it can be used for as a postage stamp on a letter. The same can be said about a Zie coin and the concept applies to any collectible (asset) that are currently being traded, from sports or Pokemon cards, to masterpiece art such as Picasso or Monet paintings. The market value of a Zie coin represents that internal value and can be used as part of trading activites, but only the nominal value is used as part of transactions activities. Each coin can have either a digital or a physical form at any time, but cannot have both at the same time. The coin either exists digitally in the system or physically in the palm of someone's hand. As such, a coin can be minted (printed into a physical object) and removed from the digital ecosystem or digitalized (physical coin melted and reintroduced digitally into the ecosystem).

Zie transactions are centrally controlled for maximum security and transparency. Zies can be exchanged for other currencies, products or services on B2B, B2C and C2C transactions (between companies, between companies and consumers, and between consumers). Zies exist in different denominations. Each coin can be decomposed to a fraction of a coin up to its minimum denomination.

The Zie is meant to be a common currency for everyone to enjoy. As such, its name is meant to be easy to express in every languages:

• English: (Zee), like the letter Z
• French and other latin based languages : Zie (gender: feminine noun)
• Chinese: (zi)
• Other languages…. (open to all)

Using the same argument as global reach and easy acceptance, the character used for Zie is the last letter of the roman alphabet, Z. Every keyboard in the world already has this symbol and the ASCII code it has exist since the first computer version, so it is clear that this is easy to accept and represent.

Even cartoons uses that letter and sound when showing someone comfortably sleeping. That trancends well with the Z ecosystem in which rewards (passive income) are collected every 24 hours in a safe and very low risk environment (nothing is risk-free, but financial vehicules on which the Z coin is pegged is as low risk as it gets in terms of financial investment).

Open an account for free. Browse the different menus to see the possibilities.

Z coins can be traded, bought, transfered. Many options exists.

The Z ecosystem is very transparent and every transactions can be looked at but is limited to the parties involved in the transaction or an admnistrator of the Z ecosystem with special priviledges in order to keep user confidentiality.

Once you feel confident, transfer funds to your account by yourself or receive funds from an account holder, from family and friends or for services you provided.

Once a day, a reward is given based on the funds present in the account at that specific time. There is no easier way to earn passive income.

Z coin is easily accessible, even if you’re a beginner!

Although we use the word buy, a Z is not bought. A Z is given as a token of recognition that real currency is stored on behalf of an account holder. This is why the coin has a nominal value. The coin can then be traded, sold, spend. It can be used as a commodity that can be utilized to pay for goods and services while the real currency backing its value stays intact and is redeemable at any time by the owner of the coin at that time.

Let's use the example of getting a token in exchange to leave someone's jacket while attending an event. Upon return of the token where the jacket can be picked back up, the holder of the token can get the jacket as is. This is what the Z coin stands for. The holder of that coin can do anything he wants while holding that token and can even trade it to others if desired. The token will always be worth the price of the deposited jacket, no matter who ends up with the token and eventually returns it to get the jacket.

Different ways exist to inject funds in the Z ecosystem. It can be done through:

• bank transfer or global transfer
• bank wire transfer
• credit or debit card
• e-wallet transfer
• international US currency based check

Different denomination of Zie exists that can be either represented in both material and digital form while others can only be represented in digital form due to their low monetary value which wouldn't warrant the cost for minting the coin. Those denominations are :

• gZ (grand Zie)
• Z (Zie)
• pZ (partial Zie)
• mZ (mini Zie)
• iZ (infinitesimal Zie) which can only exist in the digital form and often referred to as coin bits

• 1 x gZ = 10 x Z
• 1 x Z = 4 x pZ = 10 x mZ
• 1 x pZ = 2.5 x mZ
• 1 x mZ = 100000 x iZ
• 1 x iZ is the minimal representation

The smallest denomination is called a coin bit, also referred to as an iZ (infinitesimal Z, or Zie bit). For example, a Z is made of 1000000 iZ (or coin bits or Zie bits) and can also be represented as decimals. If ones offers 1.23Z, it could also be spelled as 1 Z coin an 230000 coin (Zie) bits. Coin (Zie) bits are then simply the fractional portion of the full coin value.

There are many ways to trace transactions. The Z ecosystem is a closed system, making it easy to track any transactions and coins involved in those transactions. Transactions can also be reverted if required.

Z coins coin be decomposed up to their minimum denomination of 1 iZ. Since the value of a Zie is pegged to a real currency, the minimum investment that can be done is the amount of your local currency that can be converted for that pegged amount.
For example, as of Jan 1st 2024, since 1 Z = 10,000 USD, then 1 iZ = 0.01 USD. The minimum investment is then 1 US cent in your local currency.

There are no fees to either inject funds into the Z ecosystem, take funds out of the Z ecosystem or any operation within the Z ecosystem, everything is completely free.

Please be mindfull that we are not charging any fees, but third parties may. For example, if transferring from a bank, there would be the bank wiring fees, if transferring from Paypal or any ewallet, fees may be added from their side and the same applies to credit or debit card. We cannot control what third parties may be charging so we advise to look for the cheapest alternative based on your situation since the world is a pretty big place and every little corner of that big world has its own quirks.

Once part of the Z ecosystem, there will never be any fees and daily rewards will likely eventually cancel and surpass any fees you had when injecting funds into the ecosystem from 3rd parties.

We thrive to give the best possible incentives to join the community, and that includes minimizing fees people face when dealing with all the different participants of the financial system, so don't hesitate to suggest ways that can benefit all to find the cheapest solution on how to either inject or extract funds from the Z ecosystem. We will never try to limit the options for someone willing to inject or extract funds.

We believe in win-win situations that can financially benefit every actors involved in the Z ecosystem.

We also deeply believe in transparency.

The safest investment one can make is buying T-Bonds issued by the US government. The Z coin is a token of investment made in T-Bonds that bears interests. Those interests generate real money which is then given back as a reward to the owner of the coins based on their balance at the end of every day (payments are made based on the balance of the account at 00:00 GMT).

The reward rate is the minimum payout among all those different T-Bonds (4/8/13/17/26/52 weeks). Averagely speaking, through ownership of many different terms, the Z ecosystem is expected to have some investments returning no profit or small losses, but having others returning profit that generate enough funds for the survival of the system while giving maximum payouts to the account holders at minimum risk.

Zie has no political or national bias. In order to sustain a value, it is pegged to something easy to quantify. In a world where it could be used as the unique currency, the problem would not arise, but in a real world scenario where currencies and commodities are in constant change based on supply/demand and economic forces, a choice needs to be made. As a stable currency, it is not meant for owners of this currency to see volatility, they need to know what the currency will be worth in a day, in year or even 5 years horizon.

The worst fear of any trader is to send some money or a digital currency that may be so volatile that even tiny change in value will impact the value of the deal agreed to. On each side of a transaction lies 2 parties that need to know what they get, and what they give without worrying about fluctuation in the curency they used to transact. This is why US dollars are used internationaly. One (1) US dollar will still be worth 1 US dollar tomorrow, but this is not true when dealing with currencies that are not pegged to something stable. By being pegged to that US dollar, Z becomes a very stable vehicule to use or to transfer among international partners. As local economies develop, the more those economies use the Z ecosystem, the more the world system will tend to use one common currency, thus binding them all together. At a time where people can send money to loved ones thought online transfers or where international transactions are booming between small international traders, local shops or directly between consumers, it is good not to feel the transaction fees and volatility (uncertainty) about the value of an object or service.

A safe investment is US T-Bonds and the currency to purchase those T-Bonds that will not incur any currency conversion fees or exposure to varying exchange rates is the US dollar. Pegging to the US dollar then becomes an obvious choice based on the current world economics as the vehicule backing the value of the Z coin. Other currencies (Euro, Chinese Yuan), a combination of different ratios of currencies (Japanese Yen, British pound, Canadian Dollar, etc), or even commodities such as gold are all possible options in the future, but not at this time.

If we refer to the Z coin as a collectible, yes, the market value of a Z coin can be manipulated. The market value of a coin is based on its last trade. A parallel can be made with the stock market. A share is a portion of ownership of a whole company. If a company owns 1 million shares and a trade involves one share. The price paid for that share will reflect on the value of the whole company. The same applies to Z coins. The value of a Z coin can be amplified by trades, whether it is by design, as a gradual evolution or by accident. Like a stock, or a Rembrandt painting, the market value is based on its latest trade which can either be an overvalued, fair, or undervalued amount.

Whatever the market value of a coin is, it can only impact trades among pouch holders. Coins sent as part of a transaction (like a fund transfer, or fund extraction) are solely based on the nominal value of the coin. While the market value of a pouch fluctuates, its nominal value is constant and enables transactions to proceed without any fluctuation risk. The market value of a coin cannot impact a transaction value.

Short answer, no! Transactions are always based on nominal values. Transactions (transfers, extractions) while in either the User or Collector mode are then protected from matrket value fluctuations. The transactions are seen as objective transactions in which the value cannot fluctuates. Trades, which are subjective transactions present in Collector mode only, can impact the market value of a coin and be impacted by it.

There are many ways to make money with Z coins and the Z ecosystem:

1. Passive earner: have coins in your account and wait for the daily reward
2. Patient gold digger: exchange (swap) your common coins with the Vault and find hidden treasures among the rare coins you can get
3. Avid trader: trade coins with others for coins with market value greater than the ones you traded away
4. Successful merchant: buy low, sell high at the market
5. Active blacksmith merchant: stamp coins and sale them in the market
6. Active designer: design coins and sell (license) them to the Vault for its stamping and minting services or to other blacksmith merchants
7. Master blacksmith designer: design your own coins, stamp them and make a name for yourself as you sale them in the market
8. Treasure keeper: stamp and mint coins. Hold them in the palm on your hand. Exhibit them, show them off and wait for avid collectors to offer you the moon for them
9. There are so many ways the limit is your imagination.

There are no limitations on the number of trades or transaction an account holder can make, but the Z ecosystem enables limiting the scope or the number of transaction within a certain time period to prevent bad actors from generating millions of tiny transactions with the objective to slow the whole system.

Short answer, no! Coins can only be minted by us and only us can digitalize them (putting them back into the Z ecosystem). The reason is simply related to security and making sure the minted coins are legit. If someone wants to know the legitimacy of a coin, it can look for information on the coin based on its coin id (equivalent to a unique serial number). The material used in each coin is also very specific to minimize the risk of forgery. When in doubt, always contact us before accepting a high value physical coin to confirm its legitimacy.

Short answer, no! The minting process is expensive and not every coin type is worthy of such an endeavour. Only gZ, Z, pZ and mZ coins can be minted (printed). Another limitation exists regarding the stamp that was used when the coin was stamped. The stamp we refer to here is the image that was provided. For 3d metal printing to be successful, a design must respect very specific requirements. When coin designs cannot meet those requirements, the coin is still stamped, but the coin becomes for ever unmintable since stamps are permanent in nature. When stamping a coin, if 2 sides of the coins are provided, this also changes the coin to be unmintable. For a coin to be mintable, the original design must be provided in a 3d printer valid format and must only be for the stamped face of the coin as the Z side of the coin is common for all (for easy recognition of a Z coin when being transacted). The process of accepting stamps that are not mintable offers more flexibility of designs and looks since 2D or 3D images can then be provided in any image format as common as png files. Coins not matching strict rules are considered unmintable (unprintable). Among those rules are the physical parameters that forces coins to be stackable. A coin that would have a 3d image with the width preventing other coins to stack on top of it would fit into that unmintable criteria.

Zie coins refer to a family of coins, namely Zie related coins. Those include grand Zie (gZ), Zie (Z), partial Zie (pZ), mini Zie (mZ) and infinitesimal Z (iZ).

Cryptocurrency by definition is a digital or virtual currency secured by cryptography, operating on a decentralized network (blockchain) and enabling secure, peer-to-peer transactions for buying goods, paying bills, or investing. Its value comes from the market supply and demand and relies on complex coding to verify and record transactions on a public, unchangeable digital ledger.

Based on the above description, no, Zie coin is not a cryptocurrency. Zie coin is a mixed digital/hard currency since it exists in the Z ecosystem but can also be printed to exist on a physical form since each coin is uniquely identified by a coin Id (serial number). The Z ecosystem is also centrally controlled, the same way a country central bank operates. The Z coin being pegged to a real life currency (USD) which in itself is backed up by a country's economy (United States Of America) gives it some of the characteristics of a stablecoin in which a virtual coin is pegged to an asset held by a custodian but where the market value of a Zie coin can be linked to a collectible with a value that can fluctuate based on the offer and demand principles.

The pegged real currency funds (also known as nominal value) are at all time protected, which makes the Zie ecosystem and the nominal value of each coin 100% risk free, completely shielded from the offer and demand market values, while cryptocurrencies could theoretically be worth millions on a day and zero on the next.
