ZEROBASE (abbreviated as ZBT) is one of the key projects supported by Binance in the ZK track for 2025. It is a decentralized cryptographic infrastructure network that utilizes zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) and trusted execution environments (TEE) to achieve verifiable off-chain computation, providing efficient and secure computing solutions for DeFi, privacy protection, and real-world assets (RWA). The project emphasizes real-time ZK proof generation (in milliseconds), privacy compliance, and decentralization. Core products include zkStaking, zkLogin, ProofYield, zkDarkpool, etc., which have become important infrastructure for institutional-level DeFi and privacy computing.
Financing background: Backed by top institutions, $5 million boosts ZK infrastructure.
ZEROBASE completed a $5 million private placement financing on October 19, 2024, led by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), with participation from top institutions including Lightspeed Faction (Lightspeed Venture Partners), dao5, Matrix Partners, IDG Blockchain, Symbolic Capital, MH Ventures, Paka Capital. The financing price was approximately $0.0444 per token, implying a valuation of around $44.4 million.
This financing is mainly used to build a real-time ZK proof network, optimize proof node, expand TEE secure computing, and promote mainnet development and ecological integration. The project has also received technical support and grants from institutions such as the U.S. National Science Foundation, Ethereum Foundation, Starknet, NVIDIA Inception, Microsoft & OpenAI, showcasing its strong technical capabilities.
Brief overview of the token economic model:
- Total supply: 1 billion ZBT (fixed, no inflation)
- Current circulation: approximately 220-245 million tokens (about 22-25%)
- ZBT uses: payment for ZK proof generation fees, bandwidth routing, node rewards, governance voting, protocol buybacks, etc.
- Unlock mechanism: Investors lock up for 12 months + 24 months linear release; team has a longer lock-up; 62.5% of the airdrop released at TGE, etc.
### Binance Ecosystem Deep Integration Timeline (2025 Key Points)
ZEROBASE works closely with Binance, forming a complete closed loop from Pre-TGE to HODLer airdrop to official listing:
- September 23-24, 2025: Binance wallet exclusive Pre-TGE event launched. Users can deposit up to 3 BNB (requires Alpha Points) to subscribe for 10 million ZBT (accounting for 1% of total supply). The subscription period is only 2 hours, oversubscription will be allocated proportionally, and unused BNB will be automatically refunded.
- September 25-October 8, 2025: Booster Program Season 1. All Binance wallet users (no Alpha Points threshold) can participate by depositing into the Simple Yield ZEROBASE USDT vault, sharing 3% of ZBT supply (approximately 30 million tokens, total reward value about $1.6 million). Rewards for phased tasks will be released at TGE.
- October 17, 2025 (Highlight):
- Morning: Binance announced ZBT as the 54th HODLer Airdrop project. Users holding BNB from October 11-13 to participate in Simple Earn (Flexible/Locked) or On-Chain Yield will automatically receive airdrop of 15 million ZBT (accounting for 1.5% of total supply).
- 11:00 UTC: Binance Alpha opens ZBT trading.
- 13:00 UTC: Binance spot officially launches ZBT/USDT, ZBT/USDC, ZBT/BNB, ZBT/FDUSD, ZBT/TRY trading pairs, applying **Seed Tag** (seed label, reminding high risk). Deposits are also opened.
- After listing: Binance quickly launched products such as Simple Earn, Futures, Convert; ZBT was simultaneously listed on multiple platforms including Bybit, Bitget, MEXC, Bithumb, forming multi-exchange liquidity.
Current market performance (as of March 2026)
After ZBT went live, it experienced market fluctuations; the current price is approximately $0.074-0.075, with a market capitalization of about $16-19 million and a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $10 million. Binance remains the main source of liquidity.
Technical Highlights and Future Outlook
ZEROBASE's core advantage lies in 'real-time + privacy + compliance': proof generation speed reaches millisecond level (22-28ms), single proof cost is less than 1 cent, supporting zkDarkpool confidential trading, zkFi stablecoin staking, Bitcoin ecosystem ZK integration, and other scenarios. The mainnet has been launched, with TVL exceeding $300,000, and the annualized staking yield is approximately 8-10%.
With the explosion of ZK technology in DeFi, RWA, and AI computing fields, ZEROBASE is expected to become an important player in the infrastructure layer. Binance's continued support (HODLer airdrop + Alpha + spot multiple pairs) further enhances its exposure and liquidity.
Summary: ZEROBASE went from financing in October 2024 to deep binding with Binance in September-October 2025, and then to spot listing, completing the leap from an early project to a mainstream CEX token in less than a year. For investors optimistic about the ZK track and Binance ecosystem, ZBT is a target worth continuous attention.@ZEROBASE #Zerobase $ZBT
