One price, whole ticket
Quoted before you commit
Bring the desk a pair, a size and a direction, and get a quote for all of it. You are not working an order book, and you are not discovering the price as you fill.
Settle a ticket into a major stablecoin, or bring stablecoins and take rands. Settlement is same day, inside our ledger — no clearing cycle to wait on. Settling into ZAR8 is coming soon.
ZAR8 is pegged one to one to the rand and fully collateralised. Supply is queryable on-chain. Held by verified accounts only. Not yet available on the 80eight platform.
This is the primitive behind delayed settlement, escrowed invoices and milestone payments.
Locked until the condition
Lock terms recorded
Coming soon
Once ZAR8 is available on the 80eight platform, it will be lockable for a fixed period or until a condition is met — the primitive behind delayed settlement, escrowed invoices and milestone payments. Locked ZAR8 will not move while it is locked.
A desk quotes the whole ticket at one price, fills it at that price, and settles the same day in rands or stablecoins — with a dealer who answers the phone.

BEFORE YOU BRING A TICKET
The questions a counterparty asks first.
What is the minimum ticket?
minimum ticket.
What hours is the desk open?
desk hours.
How fast is settlement?
Same day.
Is ZAR8 really backed?
Yes, one to one, with supply matched to reserves.
Can I withdraw ZAR8 to my own wallet?
No. ZAR8 is not yet available on the 80eight platform. Once it is, it will be held custodially inside 80eight, and off-platform withdrawal is on the roadmap.
What chain is ZAR8 on?
Ethereum, as an ERC-20 token, for V1.
Who can hold ZAR8?
Verified accounts only.
What happens if you pause the contract?
Transfers, mint and burn can be paused independently in an emergency. We would tell you.
Can you freeze an address?
Yes, on a regulatory request. It prevents sending, receiving and redeeming.
What do we need to onboard?
We need your company registration document, proof of business address, director ID and a recent bank statement. Our team runs the verification.
