ZAROZARO
Multi-chain reference

One supply.
Four chains.

ZARO lives natively on Ethereum and is bridged 1:1 to Base, BNB Chain, and Solana. The total supply across all four chains never exceeds 1,000,000,000. Ever.

The one-billion rule

Total Supply = 1,000,000,000 ZARO (Ethereum, immutable)

Ethereum  : 1,000,000,000  (origin — all other chains draw from this)
  └─ locked in Base bridge  : [variable] →  minted on Base
  └─ locked in Wormhole     : [variable] →  minted on BNB Chain
  └─ locked in Wormhole     : [variable] →  minted on Solana
  └─ circulating on ETH     : remainder

SUM across all chains ≤ 1,000,000,000 ZARO. Always.

Every ZARO on Base, BNB Chain, or Solana exists only because an equal amount is simultaneously locked in bridge custody on Ethereum. Bridges cannot create new supply — they can only move it across chains.

Per-chain reference

Contract, bridge, LP status, and security profile for each chain.

Base

Base

Coinbase L2

OptimismMintableERC20 (canonical OP Stack bridge token)

Bridge

OP Stack Standard Bridge (Coinbase / OP Labs predeploy)

LP status

LP burned to 0x000…dEaD — permanent, no recovery possible

Trade on

Mint() is gated by `onlyBridge` — only the canonical L2StandardBridge predeploy can mint, and only against locked supply on Ethereum.

How the bridges work

Base (OP Stack): The canonical Coinbase L2 bridge. To move ZARO to Base, you deposit it into the L1StandardBridge on Ethereum; the matching L2StandardBridge on Base mints an equivalent amount of the OptimismMintableERC20 representation. To move it back, you burn on Base and the bridge releases the locked supply on Ethereum. mint() is gated by an onlyBridge modifier — no human can call it.

BNB Chain & Solana (Wormhole): Wormhole locks the source token in a guardian-verified escrow and mints a wrapped representation on the destination chain. Burning the wrapped token releases the locked supply. The mint authority on the destination is the Wormhole protocol itself — a smart contract on BNB Chain, a Program-Derived Address on Solana — neither of which has a private key.

The math: at any point in time, the sum of all bridged ZARO across Base + BNB Chain + Solana equals exactly the amount locked in the corresponding escrows on Ethereum. The 1B cap is enforced at the Ethereum layer and is permanent.

Why ZARO can't be inflated

  • ✓The Ethereum contract is renounced. MINTER_ROLE has zero members. DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE has zero members. No one can grant either role post-deployment.
  • ✓The Base contract's mint() is gated by onlyBridge — the canonical OP Stack L2StandardBridge is the only caller, and it only mints against locked supply on Ethereum.
  • ✓The BNB Chain contract's owner() is the Wormhole Token Bridge protocol contract, not a human wallet. It mints only against verified Guardian VAA messages that prove a matching lock on Ethereum.
  • ✓The Solana SPL mint authority is a Program-Derived Address — a deterministic on-chain address with no private key. The Wormhole bridge program is the only entity that can produce its signatures.
  • ✓Net result: no entity — including the founder or the company — can cause the supply across all four chains to exceed 1,000,000,000 ZARO. Ever.
