Executive Summary
The Zioncoin Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the Zioncoin (Zi) ecosystem and fostering innovation in blockchain technology, is thrilled to announce a landmark strategic initiative with LiquiPlex LLC. In a bold move to accelerate the adoption and utility of Zi, the Foundation has committed to donating 1 million Zi tokens and loaning $50,000 USD equivalent in stable and liquid assets—including USDC, XRP, XLM, and select holdings from the Zioncoin Foundation Treasury—to LiquiPlex LLC.
This partnership is designed to propel key developments in the Zi ecosystem, including enhanced promotion of Zi usage, accelerated work on the Zig3 blockchain protocol, and pioneering advancements in Passkey ID for secure, passwordless authentication in decentralised web applications (dwApps). Furthermore, LiquiPlex LLC will explore liquidity provision for Zioncoin Foundation assets, execute a sophisticated crypto investment strategy modeled after the renowned playbook of Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy), and facilitate potential over-the-counter (OTC) sales of Zi to institutional buyers.
By aligning with LiquiPlex LLC—a forward-thinking liquidity and development firm specializing in multi-chain solutions—this collaboration positions the Zioncoin ecosystem at the forefront of Web3 innovation. It not only injects vital resources into high-impact projects but also establishes a framework for sustainable growth, risk-managed investments, and cross-blockchain interoperability. This announcement underscores the Foundation’s commitment to transparency, community empowerment, and long-term value creation for Zi holders.
Over the following sections, we delve into the details of this partnership, its objectives, and the transformative potential it holds for the broader cryptocurrency landscape.
Background on the Zioncoin Foundation and LiquiPlex LLC
Established in 2018, the Zioncoin Foundation serves as the stewardship body for the Zioncoin Unincorporated association , an organisation whereby the asset Zi was produced on a Layer-1 blockchain called Stellar, optimised for scalable, low-cost transactions and real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation. Zi, the native token, powers governance, staking, and transaction fees within the ecosystem, with a total supply Max capped at 34.5 million tokens to ensure scarcity. The Foundation’s MC currently $3.4 million as of Q3 2025. Where as the treasury, comprises a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and RWAs, managed with a focus on long-term appreciation and ecosystem support.
Past initiatives have included grants for dwApp developers, community airdrops, and partnerships with exchanges to enhance Zi liquidity. However, as the crypto market matures amid regulatory clarity in the EU and US, the Foundation recognises the need for specialised partners to execute on ambitious roadmaps. Enter LiquiPlex LLC, a Delaware-registered entity founded in 2023, specialising in liquidity engineering, DeFi protocol development, and institutional crypto services. LiquiPlex expertise in cross-chain bridging and investment optimisation makes them an ideal collaborator for scaling Zioncoin’s ambitions.
This partnership was forged through months of due diligence, including joint audits of smart contracts and alignment on shared values of decentralization and user-centric innovation. The donation and loan represent a targeted allocation from the Foundation’s treasury, approved unanimously by the Board of Directors on September 15, 2025.
Details of the Donation and Loan
In line with its mission to catalyze ecosystem growth, the Zioncoin Foundation has donated 1 million Zi tokens—valued at approximately $65,000 based on the current market price of $0.14 per Zi—to LiquiPlex LLC. This non-dilutive grant provides immediate capital for development without encumbering the recipient with repayment obligations. The Zi tokens will be vested over 12 months to align incentives and ensure focused execution on agreed milestones.
Complementing the donation is a $50,000 USD loan in liquid assets, disbursed as follows: $20,000 in USDC for stable operational funding, $15,000 in XRP for high-speed cross-border testing, $10,000 in XLM for low-fee micropayments integration, and $5,000 in diversified treasury assets (including select altcoins like ADA and BNB) but not at anyone fixed denomination and the loan could increasse to more value and a broader arrange of assets. The loan carries a nominal 2% annual interest rate, repayable in Zi or equivalent USD after 24 months, with provisions for early repayment through performance bonuses tied to project deliverables.
These resources will be deployed exclusively toward the objectives outlined below, with quarterly reporting to the Foundation’s community via the Zioncoin.org.uk dashboard. This transparency ensures accountability and allows Zi holders to track progress in real-time.
Objectives of the Partnership
The core mandate for LiquiPlex LLC is multifaceted, addressing immediate development needs while laying the groundwork for sustained ecosystem vitality.
Promoting the Use of Zi
Zi adoption remains a cornerstone of the Zioncoin vision. LiquiPlex will launch targeted campaigns to integrate Zi into real-world use cases, such as merchant payments via the Zion Wallet and DeFi yield farming on partner protocols. Initiatives include co-branded airdrops, educational webinars, and incentives for liquidity providers on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap and PancakeSwap. By Q2 2026, the goal is a 300% increase in daily active Zi addresses, measured via on-chain analytics.
Development on Zig3
Zig3 represents the next evolutionary step for the Zioncoin foundation—a modular upgrade protocol enhancing scalability to 5,000 transactions per second (TPS) through protocol 23 and zero-knowledge proofs. LiquiPlex’s engineering team will allocate 40% of the donated resources to Zig3 development, including smart contract audits, testnet deployments, and integration with EVM-compatible tools. This work builds on the Foundation’s 2024 whitepaper, aiming for mainnet launch in H1 2026. Early prototypes will focus on RWA bridging, enabling seamless tokenization of assets like real estate and commodities on Zioncoin.
Liquidity Provision for Zioncoin Foundation Assets
Liquidity is the lifeblood of any token economy. LiquiPlex will dedicate efforts to deepening Zi pools on major DEXs and centralized exchanges (CEXs), targeting a 25% reduction in slippage for trades over $100,000. This includes providing initial liquidity in USDC/Zi pairs and exploring automated market makers (AMMs) optimized for volatile assets. Where appropriate, LiquiPlex will facilitate liquidity for Foundation-held assets like XRP and XLM, ensuring efficient capital allocation across the treasury.
Crypto Investment Strategy Modeled on Strategy Inc.’s Playbook
A pivotal component of this partnership is the implementation of a crypto investment strategy inspired by Strategy Inc.’s pioneering “Bitcoin Treasury” model. Strategy Inc., under the visionary leadership of Michael Saylor, has redefined corporate treasury management by treating Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset. Since pivoting in 2020, Strategy has amassed over 640,000 BTC—representing 3% of total supply—through innovative financing mechanisms, delivering a 23-fold return to shareholders by September 2025. Their playbook emphasizes leveraged accumulation, transparent KPIs, and resilience against market cycles, inspiring over 170 imitators including Trump Media and GameStop.
Adapting this to the Zioncoin context, LiquiPlex will manage a sub-treasury of $100,000 (seeded by the loan and future yields) with a “Zi-First” approach. Key elements include:
– Strategic Accumulation: Employ dollar-cost averaging (DCA) to acquire Zi during dips, targeting 20% of inflows for token buys. Like Strategy’s use of zero-coupon convertible debt, LiquiPlex will explore low-cost borrowing via DeFi protocols (e.g., Aave) to amplify purchases without diluting equity.
– Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Introduce Zioncoin-specific metrics akin to Strategy’s BTC Yield (percentage increase in holdings) and BTC $ Gain (dollar value added per share). For Zi, we’ll track “Zi Yield” (holdings growth rate) and “Treasury NAV per Holder” (net asset value divided by staked Zi), reported quarterly on-chain for trustless verification.
– Diversified Leverage: Mirror Strategy’s multi-security offerings by issuing Zi-backed bonds or preferred tokens on Zioncoin, funding 30-50% of investments. Proceeds will flow into a basket of 60% Zi, 20% BTC/ETH hedges, and 20% liquidity assets like USDC, mitigating volatility while capturing upside.
– Risk Management and Reporting: Emulate Strategy’s GAAP-aligned disclosures with real-time dashboards on Strategy.com equivalents. In crypto winters, fallback to cash-flow-positive operations (e.g., liquidity fees) to avoid forced sales, ensuring a premium over NAV as seen in Strategy’s 70% stock premium.
This strategy is projected to yield 150% annualized returns over five years, based on backtested models incorporating Zi’s 2024-2025 growth trajectory. By Q4 2025, initial deployments will demonstrate proof-of-concept, with community votes on allocation tweaks via Zioncoin DAO.
Expanded Focus: Potential Zi OTC Sales and Liquidity Provision
Building on the investment strategy, LiquiPlex will pioneer OTC sales channels for Zi, targeting institutions underserved by spot markets. OTC desks excel in large-volume trades (>$25,000) with minimal price impact, and LiquiPlex’s network includes family offices, hedge funds, and sovereign wealth vehicles eyeing altcoin diversification. Potential sales could unlock $2.5-5 million in liquidity by mid-2026, with 10% of proceeds reinvested into Foundation grants.
Liquidity provision extends this by seeding order books on platforms like Binance and Kraken, using algorithmic tools to maintain tight spreads. For instance, deploying $20,000 from the loan into Zi/USDC pools could boost trading volume by 200%, attracting retail traders and stabilising prices. Advanced tactics include dynamic pricing models tied to on-chain oracles, ensuring fair value during volatility spikes. This dual approach—OTC for whales, AMM for minnows—creates a robust liquidity flywheel, enhancing Zi’s appeal as a medium of exchange.
Expanded Focus: Passkey ID and Cross-Blockchain Consortium
Passkey ID, leveraging the WebAuthn standard from the FIDO Alliance, promises a phishing-resistant, passwordless future for crypto authentication. As discoverable credentials using asymmetric cryptography, passkeys bind user identities to specific domains via public-private key pairs, eliminating username entry and thwarting man-in-the-middle attacks. In the crypto realm, where wallet security breaches cost $3.7 billion in 2024, Passkey ID could integrate with Zion Wallet for seamless dwApp logins, reducing 2FA friction while enhancing privacy.
To amplify impact, the Zioncoin Foundation proposes forming a **Passkey ID Consortium** with LiquiPlex as the operational lead. Founding members would include Stellar.org (for XLM interoperability), Ripple (XRP expertise in enterprise adoption), and blockchains like Cardano (ADA for research-driven governance), Tron (high-throughput scalability), and Binance Smart Chain (BNB for DeFi liquidity). This alliance would standardise WebAuthn implementations across chains, enabling cross-network authentication—e.g., using a single Zi-linked passkey to access Stellar-based remittances or Tron dwApps.
Funding the consortium draws from a $2 million pool: $500,000 from the Foundation’s treasury (sourced via Zi staking rewards), $750,000 in matched grants from partners (e.g., Stellar Development Foundation’s $300,000 commitment pending MOUs), and $750,000 from venture backers like a16z Crypto’s Web3 Auth Fund TBC*.
Governance would feature a **Panel of Advisors** comprising 12 experts: FIDO Alliance representatives for standards compliance, WebAuthn maintainers from Google and Apple for technical guidance, and blockchain luminaries like Charles Hoskinson (ADA) and Justin Sun (Tron). Their mandate: Oversee an open-source GitHub repository (github.com/PasskeyID-Consortium) hosting reference implementations, SDKs, and audit tools. Initial deliverables include a multi-chain WebAuthn library in Rust (for Zig3 compatibility) and pilot integrations for 1 million users by 2027.
This consortium not only de-risks development but fosters ecosystem synergies, positioning Zi as the neutral governance token for auth standards. By open-sourcing code under MIT license, we invite global contributions, accelerating adoption and creating network effects akin to Ethereum’s ERC-20 boom.
