A fixed-price NFT desk on Zero
One token.
4,444 partners.
Every Hero NFT trades at the desk for exactly 100,000 HERO — today, tomorrow, always. The desk charges traders a fee in ZRO, and 70% of that fee is paid to NFT holders. No team allocation. No presale. No seed capital — the market funds itself.
The Desk
A market that never moves its price
All 4,444 NFTs start inside the vault. The vault is the market: it sells and buys back at one fixed price — 100,000 HERO per NFT — funded by a token float set aside at genesis and replenished by every purchase.
Buy — random
Pay 100,000 HERO + a 10% fee in ZRO. You receive the longest-waiting NFT in the vault (first in, first out). Your tokens join the float.
Buy — specific number
Want an exact NFT? Same 100,000 HERO, with a 15% fee in ZRO.
Sell back
Return the NFT, receive exactly 100,000 HERO from the float. No sell fee, no slippage, no waiting for a buyer.
Every buy pre-funds its own buyback — the tokens a buyer pays in are exactly what the vault pays out when that NFT is sold back. A genesis buffer of 155.56M HERO additionally covers the free-claim NFTs. The redemption price never drops as the float thins, so there is no advantage in rushing for the exit: worst case, sales pause until new buys refill the float.

Token price moves — the 100,000 HERO redemption does not. That is the whole design.
Free Claim
444 NFTs are free to claim
A slice of the collection — 444 of the 4,444 — is reserved for free claims: one per wallet, no tokens required. The only condition: your wallet must have bought HERO on the curve at least once, any amount.
Claimed NFTs carry one temporary rule: they cannot be sold back to the vault for the first 7 days. Secondary sales and activation work normally during the lock. After day 7, a claimed NFT is identical to a bought one — including the 100,000 HERO sell-back.
Timing: the free claim does not open at launch. The paid desk runs first; the free quota opens in the final phase — early participants are the ones who paid in.
The NFT
An NFT with its own wallet
Every Hero NFT carries an ERC-6551 wallet. The moment an NFT first leaves the vault — bought or claimed — its wallet is seeded with 10,000 HERO from the genesis reserve. Everything the wallet collects afterwards (pot distributions, in ZRO) stays inside it and travels with the NFT when it is sold. You are never just trading a picture — you are trading a position and its contents.
Remember to withdraw the wallet's contents before you sell: anything left inside becomes a bonus for the next owner. When tokenized stocks reach Zero, they can be added to the distribution menu — the structure is ready.
Activation
Only active NFTs earn
A one-time payment in HERO switches an NFT on. Higher tiers take a larger share of every distribution. Half of every activation fee is burned forever; half goes to the platform. Activation clears when the NFT changes hands — a buyer on the secondary market starts inactive and activates it themselves, so activation fees keep flowing as NFTs circulate.
| Tier | Cost (HERO) | Reward weight |
|---|---|---|
| Base | 10,000 | 1.00× |
| T1 | 25,000 | 1.25× |
| T2 | 55,000 | 1.60× |
| T3 | 100,000 | 2.00× |
| T4 | 250,000 | 3.33× |
The Pot
Where holder earnings come from
No emissions, no promised yield — the Pot only ever pays out fees that were actually collected:
- 70% of every desk fee (buys at the vault, in ZRO)
- 70% of loan-desk fees (Phase 2)
- Swap fees from the holders' LP slice after graduation
- A share of Launcher fees from third-party token launches (later phase)
Once the Pot reaches its threshold, anyone can trigger a distribution — the protocol never needs to be online. ZRO is paid into the wallets of active NFTs only, pro-rata by tier weight. Holders can later elect up to three payout tokens from an expandable menu (ZRO and HERO first; tokenized stocks when Zero has them).
Graduation
The LP nobody had to fund
HERO first trades on a bonding curve at 0% fee. Every buyer's ZRO accumulates in the curve. When the reserve target is reached, the curve closes and pairs the 200M HERO reserve + all accumulated ZRO into a DEX pool on Zero. The LP position is split:
80% — burned / locked forever
Permanent, untouchable liquidity for the market.
20% — the holders' slice
Principal locked forever in a holder vault — but its DEX swap fees are harvested into the Pot, so active holders keep earning from exchange volume indefinitely.
The graduation target is an adapter: ATLAS, Uniswap if it comes to Zero, or a local AMM. If no venue is ready, the curve simply keeps running.
Supply — 1,000,000,000 HERO, fixed
No team allocation. No presale. The curve is the distribution.
Roadmap desks
More ways the system earns
Loan desk Phase 2
Pledge an NFT, borrow up to 100,000 HERO from a peer float. A 15% APR fee in ZRO is paid upfront — 70% to the Pot, 30% platform — over a fixed 365-day term. Collateral is always exactly 100% at the fixed desk price: no oracle, no margin calls, no forced liquidations. Default means the NFT is sold at the desk and lenders are made whole pro-rata. Suppliers earn no fee cut — their return is principal back, or the NFT on default.
Launcher Later
Other projects launch their tokens on the same curve engine and pay launch + trade fees — a share flows to the Pot. The NFT becomes a share of the platform itself.
Bridge Integration
Funds arrive over LayerZero / Stargate routes. ZeroHERO never builds or custodies a bridge — user funds never pass through our contracts.
FAQ
Straight answers
Is the 100,000 HERO floor guaranteed?
It is guaranteed by the float, not by a promise. Every bought NFT pre-funded its own buyback, and a 155.56M genesis buffer covers claimed NFTs. If the float ever runs thin, sales pause rather than pay less — the price never drops at the desk.
Token trades are 0% — so where does the money come from?
From the NFT desk. Token volume stays frictionless; the toll sits on the scarce asset — the 4,444 NFTs. Desk fees, loan fees, LP fees and Launcher fees are the system's only revenues, and 70% of the desk's and loans' fees go to holders.
What does the platform earn?
30% of desk fees, 50% of activation fees, 30% of loan fees and the remainder of Launcher fees. Nothing else — there is no hidden allocation; the supply split above is the whole story.
Why would anyone supply the loan float if suppliers get no fee?
Because the position is fully collateralised at a fixed price: principal returns at maturity, and on default the supplier side claims an NFT worth exactly the principal at the desk — plus whatever its wallet collected. Suppliers who also hold active NFTs share the Pot the loan fees feed.
When does this launch?
Zero mainnet launches November 30, 2026. ZeroHERO follows after builder access, testnet deployment and a clean adversarial audit — no mainnet contracts go live with open audit findings.
