Only Gladias and the restaurant knew that a 10.5 zipcoin order had been made.
Vitalik wrote the currency. We shipped it. $ZC is the zipcoin from Snowmoon: private by default, burned to be heard, taxed in real time.
“How does the courtyard know you ate there? Payment is done in zipcoins, that's fully anonymized.” ch. 19
zip / unzip
Deposit ZC, then withdraw any amount to any fresh address. A zero-knowledge proof shows the coins are yours without saying which deposit.
“An anonymous person burned four hundred zipcoins to send this message.” ch. 19
burn to speak
Burn ZC to post a message. The bigger the burn, the louder the voice. Speak in public, or from zipped coins so nobody knows it was you.
“The sales tax was sent to the government in real time, automatically.” ch. 6
sales tax
Every trade of ZC pays the Veridian sales tax. It is collected on-chain, in the open, every block.
