Zulu Republic

The Zulu Republic is an ecosystem of digital platforms built on the Ethereum blockchain, founded on and motivated by the idea that decentralized collaboration is the human protocol of the future.Our mission is to make it easier than ever for people to join the cryptocurrency revolution, empowering them to take control of their own financial lives, with an emphasis on reduced-volatility and unparalleled user experience.Designed with individual, business, and non-profit applications in mind, Zulu Republic is powered by the ZTX token and custom-developed smart contracts.At the core of Zulu Republic is the Zulu Pay platform, a ZTX financial hub and the first major platform under development for use within the ecosystem. Zulu Pay will allow individuals, businesses, and philanthropic organizations to harness the benefits of ZTX, including a range of services for freelancers, retailers, non-profit fundraising, peer-to-peer microlending, and general everyday transactions, with an unrivaled 5% bonus when shopping at verified merchants.To mitigate the volatility issues that often hinder cryptocurrency adoption by the general public, Zulu Republic is leveraging the power of smart contracts to program, regulate, and carry out economic policy. That is, in the Zulu Republic micro-economy, the role that would conventionally be served by a central bank is fulfilled by a smart contract reserve, with transparent, publicly auditable parameters designed to keep ZTX volatility within an acceptable range.But a republic is only as good as its people. The true heart of the Zulu Republic will be its ‘citizens’, verified platform users entitled to certain benefits, such as receiving unlimited 5% rewards at Zulu Republic verified merchants and voting on policy updates and other initiatives.Zulu Republic citizens will also be offered a Zulu Republic “Passport”, a comprehensive self-sovereign digital identity solution for use both within and external to the Zulu Republic environment. Designed for opt-in sharing of personal data for identity verification purposes, the Passport offers convenience and ease-of-use while putting privacy, security, and individual choice above all else.To help strengthen the Zulu Republic ecosystem, the Zulu Republic Foundation will also develop and/or seed commercial ventures that make use of ZTX within their daily operations, and citizens will able to vote on the best ideas to fund.
