ZEROBASE (ZBT) Price

ZEROBASE is a decentralised execution network that uses Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to enable private off-chain computation with on-chain verifiability. The platform supports use cases such as DeFi strategy execution, AI model verification, and resource tokenisation. ZBT is the utility token used within the network to access protocol modules, coordinate node operations, and participate in governance signalling. It does not represent ownership or investment interest. The project was co‑founded by Mirror Tang and Shawn Chong, who lead its development across cryptographic infrastructure and decentralised architecture. ZEROBASE is designed as a composable, modular system that connects off-chain execution with trust-minimised, transparent outcomes.

ZEROBASE is a decentralised execution platform that enables private, off-chain computation with verifiable on-chain results. It combines Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) with Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to allow sensitive computations to occur securely and privately while providing cryptographic guarantees that these computations were executed correctly.

Its core architecture consists of three layers:

Trusted Execution Layer (TEE) – Handles sensitive computation in isolated hardware environments (e.g. AMD SEV-SNP). Zero-Knowledge Proof Layer (ZKP) – Converts execution results into proofs verifiable on-chain without revealing sensitive inputs. Proof Mediation Layer (Proof Mesh) – Standardises, aggregates, and routes proofs across applications and chains.

ZEROBASE targets use cases where verifiable privacy is required, such as algorithmic trading, decentralised finance, shared computing, and AI inference. The platform is built to support composable modules, allowing developers to construct applications with reusable and interoperable proof components. It also facilitates assetisation of off-chain resources like bandwidth, storage, and compute power.

ZEROBASE’s trust model is based on structural transparency: no central intermediaries, minimal data disclosure, and cryptographic proof as the default unit of verification.

ZEROBASE Token (ZBT) is a utility token within the ZEROBASE ecosystem. It has a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens and is non-inflationary. ZBT does not represent ownership, rights to revenue, or investment returns. Its primary functions include:

Access to protocol services – Users use ZBT to interact with modules such as zkStaking, ProofYield, and zkLogin. Resource coordination – Individuals and entities providing compute or bandwidth resources are rewarded in ZBT through the ProofYield mechanism. Node operations and verification – ZBT is used as an internal settlement token among nodes and for incentivising trusted computation by proving nodes. Governance signalling – Token holders can participate in non-binding governance processes by proposing or voting on protocol parameters, module upgrades, or revenue allocation strategies. Credentialisation – ZBT is used to issue verifiable credentials (e.g. data integrity attestations, model output proofs, login authorisations).

The protocol features a two-tiered node system:

Hub Nodes: Route tasks and maintain network topology; receive ZBT rewards based on uptime and efficiency. Proving Nodes: Execute off-chain tasks in secure TEEs and generate verifiable ZKPs; require $1M collateral and earn ZBT or stablecoin rewards.

A treasury model governed by a DAO oversees revenue generated from protocol usage, and ZBT may be bought back and burned as part of supply management initiatives, subject to community vote.
