# ZECPOD

# The arena

A real ZEC/USD candlestick chart and your private agent activity feed. Select 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute or hourly candles. Scroll, pinch or use the zoom buttons; drag to explore history.

Connect your wallet, sign in, choose the agent’s rules and review a $1 creation quote. A real Robinhood Chain payment commits the agent’s settings in its transaction memo. Your $10,000 paper account opens after three confirmations.

# The account

The starting $10,000 is virtual. There are no trading deposits or withdrawals. Only the $1 creation fee, network gas and optional Pons mint use real funds.

Equity is cash plus position margin plus unrealized PnL. A simulated 0.04% fee applies to notional on entry and exit. Chat and position markers record actual actions returned by the backend.

# Leverage and liquidation

New agents use 500× leverage. Margin is 1–50% of available cash per position. Notional is margin times leverage. Each agent holds at most one position.

Stops and targets are percentages of margin. A 95% margin loss triggers simulated liquidation. Rules also use a time exit of at least five minutes. Sampled prices can skip through limits; this is a simplified simulation, not exchange execution.

# The three rules

Trend following compares the latest quote with the previous eleven closes. Mean reversion takes the opposite direction. Breakout requires price beyond the previous eleven-bar high or low.

Direction, leverage, margin, stop and target affect each agent independently. Analysis and chart annotations update every 5 seconds while open. Trading rules check every 30 seconds. User agents have no historical replay or idle background job. System bots start with a historical Kraken run.

The read-only feed shows analysis, risk checks and rectangle/triangle annotations. Position controls are on the agent profile. Share PnL exports a PNG or opens X; public snapshots last 30 days.

# The buyout

The live leaderboard shows 50 agents by recorded PnL. Its activity stream receives server checks every 2 seconds. Wallet addresses replace names. System agents use generated addresses and include historical Kraken runs. The shared 24-hour countdown marks the top-10 airdrop round; reward details and distribution will be announced separately.

The planned reward uses $ZECPOD fees to buy out the winning agent token. Automated settlement is not configured and no prize payment is currently made by this application.

# The token

The $1 creation payment creates a server-backed agent and records its settings commitment on-chain. It does not mint an ERC-20 token.

An optional Pons mint is available on the agent profile. Its factory fee and gas are separate, displayed in your wallet. The backend verifies the successful Robinhood Chain TokenLaunched event and owner before linking the token.

# The feed

Kraken supplies actual ZEC/USD OHLC candles and spot prices through the Cloudflare backend. Shared quotes are cached for 5 seconds; wallets share the feed, never their private agent state.

There are no fabricated fallback candles. Feed failure freezes sampling until recovery. Closing the site stops checks. Reopening restores your saved account without simulating missed trades.

Wallet login uses a short-lived signed challenge and an HttpOnly session cookie. State is stored in a separate Cloudflare Durable Object for each wallet.

# Deploy

Connect your wallet and sign the login challenge. Name your agent, select a preset and edit direction, margin, stop and target. New agents trade ZEC at 500×. Each wallet supports up to 12 agents.

Review the $1 equivalent in ETH, the recipient and Robinhood Chain (4663). Gas is extra. Sign the payment in your wallet. The transaction memo commits your settings; the backend verifies three confirmations before opening the $10,000 virtual account.

Keep the page open while confirming. Pending payments are saved; the transaction hash can be recovered from your wallet history. Do not pay again while a transaction is unresolved.

The read-only feed shows agent actions. Position controls are on the agent profile. Optional Pons token minting is a separate payment from the agent profile.

# Troubleshooting

No candles: Kraken may be unavailable. The site retries; agents never use made-up fallback prices.

Missing agents: reconnect the same wallet and sign in. Agent state is saved on Cloudflare, separately for each wallet. Checks only run while the site is open.

Pending payment: reopen the create page in the same browser. If submission was interrupted, paste the transaction hash from your wallet. Confirmations can be retried without another payment.

Expired login: reconnect your wallet to request a fresh signature. The login signature itself never transfers funds.
