Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stablecoin?

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value relative to a reference asset. ZARP is pegged to the South African Rand, so the price of 1 ZARP always equals 1 ZAR. This makes it useful for payments, savings, and trading without the volatility of other cryptocurrencies.

Where does the name 'ZARP' come from?

'ZAR' is the ticker symbol for the South African Rand. The 'ZA' refers to Zuid-Afrika (as in .co.za domain names), and the 'P' stands for peg — because ZARP is pegged to the price of the South African Rand.

How do you guarantee the price of ZARP?

Whenever our issuing partners buy ZARP, we create new tokens to match the amount being acquired. Those rands are kept safely in our treasury, managed by Old Mutual Wealth. When rands are withdrawn, ZARP tokens are removed from circulation or destroyed. Independent auditors verify that we hold at least R1 for every ZARP in circulation. We never pay more or less than R1 per ZARP redeemed.

Where can I get ZARP?

ZARP can be acquired from issuing partners including AFRIDAX, ChainEX, and OVEX, and is listed on decentralised exchanges like Aerodrome, Orca, and Uniswap. See our full list of exchanges and on-ramps.

What blockchains does ZARP run on?

ZARP is natively available on Base, Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana. The EVM contract address is 0xb755506531786C8aC63B756BaB1ac387bACB0C04 and the Solana mint is dngKhBQM3BGvsDHKhrLnjvRKfY5Q7gEnYGToj9Lk8rk.
