WHAT ARE ZUCOINS?

Zucoins is the development of the worlds’ first P2P exchange token. By using a patented technology (Splitcryption), data is fragmented across the network which provides 4 main features:

  1. Real-time transactions
  2. 100% security
  3. Removes the need for 3rd party verification (Mining)
  4. Rapidly and infinitely scalable by having no limit to block size and the capacity to infinitely fractionalise a single token

Zucoins can be thought of as an electronic transfer of value; once you exchange for something, the transaction is irreversible and final. There are no chargebacks or clawbacks or any authority to lodge a claim.

WHO CONTROLS THE ZUCOINS NETWORK/ECOSYSTEM?

Zucoins are traded and exchanged through the SpiltChain network, which will be open source once it has launched. Splitcryption, the technology on which Zucoins are built, has been extended with additional features and mechanisms. This system, SplitChain, significantly reduces the computational effort required to confirm a transaction when compared to conventional blockchains, without compromising transaction integrity.

The peer-to-peer system enables verification of multiple transactions in parallel, increasing the capacity of the network with the increasing number of participants. In contrast, the conventional blockchain approach is for all willing participants to agree on each transaction, resulting in longer transaction wait-times as the number of network participants increase.

Once the SplitChain network is launched and made open sourced, individuals and businesses will be able to use the technology for a variety of different use cases. These use cases will be displayed on the Zucoins website under ‘Technology – SplitChain’ where people can read about them and make use of them.

HOW DO ZUCOINS WORK?

Zucoins are a cryptocurrency and work the same as any exchange of value (money, barter, other cryptocurrencies, work for reward). They can be bought or sold between individuals, traded on cryptocurrency exchanges, used at participating businesses, and traded between peers on the SplitChain network.

HOW DO YOU PURCHASE OR ACQUIRE ZUCOINS?

Currently, there are three ways to purchase Zucoins

  1. You can buy Zucoins on our website www.zucoins.com.
  2. You can purchase Zucoins from someone you know who already has Zucoins and are willing to trade at an agreed rate.
  3. You can buy Zucoins on a Cryptocurrency exchange (Coming Soon)

HOW DO YOU PURCHASE OR ACQUIRE ZUCOINS?

  1. Get The App (Coming Soon)
  2. Buy, Send & Receive (Pre-Selling Available Now)
  3. Use, Accept or Hold Zucoins

WHO CAN USE ZUCOINS?

Zucoins or any fraction of Zucoins can be used and accepted by Individuals, Businesses, and Investors if they have the Zucoin Wallet OR are a part of the Zucoin Partner Eco-System.

Zucoins are an electronic value, so you will need a wallet on your mobile phone to hold them. A link is provided to upload a Zucoin wallet when you are sent Zucoins for the first time.

By buying Zucoins in one currency (i.e., USD) and then selling those Zucoins for another currency (i.e., Euros), Zucoins can be used as a medium of FX exchange advantage of no fees for the transactions (NOTE: 3rd party crypto exchanges could charge fees for their services).

HOW DO YOU MAKE A PAYMENT USING ZUCOINS?

You can sell Zucoins to any person or business willing to accept Zucoins for fiat or other goods & services, with no fee. Both Parties will have to have a Zucoins wallet and then the Zucoins are sent from wallet to another wallet.

In the future, Zucoin holders will be able to convert their Zucoins to Points and then tap and pay at any participating Businesses within the Eco-System of Partners. These Points are accepted at any MC or VISA terminal.

Zucoins can be used as a:

  1. A method of payment for goods and services (like other currencies)
  2. A way to store value/wealth (as a commodity i.e., gold)
  3. A medium for the exchange of currencies

DO ZUCOINS INCUR TRANSACTION FEES WHEN SENDING THEM TO PEERS?

No, all P2P transactions are free.

DOES THE ZUCOINS SPLITCHAIN USE MINERS TO VALIDATE TRANSACTIONS?

No, Zucoins do not use 3rd party verification.

HOW ARE TRANSACTIONS VALIDATED?

They are validated through a “proof of trust” by the peers themselves on the network.

WHERE DO I DOWNLOAD THE WALLET?

More Information on how to download the Zucoin Wallet is Coming Soon.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ZUCOINS?

Some of the advantages include:

  1. Transaction speed
  2. No service fees
  3. Decentralised
  4. Secure (your transactions are your private information)

Zucoins differ from other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin by:

  1. Having no transfer fees
  2. Transactions are completed in real-time, unlike Bitcoin that can take an extended time to complete transactions.
  3. Transactions occur and are recorded by the users (wallet owners). Like a bank statement, each wallet holder will have a list of all their transactions. These transactions are broken up and encrypted behind the scenes to be stored by many other wallet holders. This is what makes the system very fast and secure, as no one user ever has the full ledger of every transaction.

WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF ZUCOINS?

Like all cryptocurrencies, safe storage of information is primary, and this responsibility resides with the holder and only the holder. There is no central back up. Each Zucoin holder is responsible for backing up their own wallet and storing that back-up in a responsible location. If you lose your private key or wallet passcode, this is the same as losing money, jewellery, any form of value, if it’s lost it’s gone, no recourse and no central record.

If the security of your devices is compromised, then this too is your responsibility. These issues are no different to all existing cryptocurrencies and there are excellent and easy solutions currently that negate these problems, e.g., hardware wallets, backups etc.

HOW MUCH DO ZUCOINS COST?

Pre-launch Zucoins are currently selling at AUD$100.00. You can read our Purchase Agreement and Privacy Policy by clicking on the links.

Zucoins pre-launch price is well undervalued based on the technological advances Zucoins and the patent SplitChain network will bring to the World of Cryptocurrency.

There will only ever be 100 million Zucoins, and if we were to compare Zucoins alongside Bitcoin with 21 million coins, the comparison would be on an approximate 5:1 ratio (20%). Therefore, if the Bitcoin price is $50,000, Zucoins price should be $10,000.

Zucoins offers a far better solution by providing scalability, a valid alternative to the current monetary systems, security, speed, fractionalisation, and no fees.

WHERE CAN ZUCOINS BE USED?

In Zucoins stage 1 release, Zucoin holders can only use them in markets that an individual generates by an agreed exchange. In later release stages and partnership developments, Zucoins will be able to be used to purchase goods and/or services from accepting businesses.

ARE ZUCOINS ANONYMOUS?

Zucoins operates on a decentralized system and, therefore, anonymous in principle.

HOW ARE ZUCOINS MADE SECURE?

On top of industry-leading encryption, the Zucoins system employs a technology called Splitlock for several security applications. Every transaction is encrypted and ‘Split’. This involves dividing up the transaction information for it to be sent to many devices. This information can only be unencrypted with a unique hash key stored on separate devices. This makes any attempt at hacking the Zucoins System useless.

CAN ZUCOINS BE LOST? IF SO, WHAT HAPPENS?

Yes. If you lose your private key. This is the same as losing money, jewellery, any form of value, if it’s lost it’s gone, no recourse and no central record.

HOW DO I BACKUP MY WALLET?

Zucoins wallet has a backup feature within the wallet. Please note the backup is backing up your private key and not any transaction data.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I LOSE MY PHONE?

If you have your private key backup and stored outside your phone all you need to do is to use your private key to download a new wallet.

WHAT IF I SEND A LINK TO THE WRONG NUMBER?

You lose the transaction. Same with a bank transfer that is sent to the wrong account (the only difference is you have a central bank that may be able to help you get it back).

AT WHAT STAGE IS DEVELOPMENT NOW?

Please review our roadmap on the zucoins.com website.

WHEN WILL ZUCOINS LAUNCH?

Please review our roadmap on the zucoins.com website.

WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE UL ASSESSMENT AND VERIFICATION?

UL is the world leading standards organisation, which has assessed and verified the SplitChain code. That way you can be sure that Zucoins do what we say they can. We believe that Zucoins are the only cryptocurrency to have this. Visit ul.com to find out more regarding their business.

Legal

ARE ZUCOINS LEGAL?

Yes, however, the legality of Zucoins depends on who you are, where you are in the world, and what you’re doing with it.

ARE ZUCOINS REGULATED?

Zucoins are not regulated other than there can only ever be 100 million Zucoins produced.

WHAT ABOUT ZUCOINS AND TAXES?

Cryptocurrency Taxes in Australia

Like in most parts of the world, there are no taxes on buying or holding cryptocurrencies in Australia. However, keeping accurate records of the purchase is very important so that you can calculate the cost basis of the transaction when you decide to dispose of the crypto. A capital gains tax (CGT) event occurs when you dispose of your cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency Taxes in Elsewhere

Here is a great breakdown of Cryptocurrency Taxes in different jurisdictions around the world: https://insights.deribit.com/industry/cryptocurrency-tax-laws-around-the-world/

WHAT ABOUT ZUCOINS AND CONSUMER PROTECTION?

Below is a brief breakdown of cryptocurrency investments

  1. Zucoins are not shares.
  2. Zucoins do not retain any rights or entitlements usually associated with shares in a company.
  3. Zucoins are held in secure wallets and not on any central registry as required by shares.
  4. Zucoins have unique identifiers (i.e., private keys) recorded in the Splitchain to secure the value and number of Zucoins.
  5. Zucoins do not record entities or personal names in the Splitchain. Only the unique identifiers are recorded.
  6. Actual ownership of the Zucoins or the wallets holding the Zucoins is a matter for the person with access to the unique identifiers to make such a declaration.
  7. As there is no register recording any entity or personal names in the Splitchain (this is the same for all cryptocurrencies), it is important that the person with access to the wallet or Zucoin identifiers makes declarations of ownership if it is intended for a Superannuation Fund to own the Zucoins.
  8. All Zucoins will be issued to a mobile phone number in a secure wallet. The onus is on the person responsible for access to the wallet of Zucoin identifiers to disclose the Zucoin ownership based on their own financial requirements when reporting.
