Token launchpads are broken.
Fixed supply and volume-based rewards incentivize short term building and investing. This leads developers to:
Bundle supply, maximize volume, then dump their tokens
Struggle to fund themselves
Chase attention instead of building
Abandon projects they have no meaningful stake in
Z Combinator fixes this.
No fees.
Tokens launched on Z Combinator have 0 platform fees, compared to over 2% on some other launchpads. A better world for traders is a better world for devs.
All Z Combinator tokens have an initial supply of 1 billion tokens, and are immediately tradable on a bonding curve. When enough liquidity is raised, it migrates to a normal AMM that also has 0 trading fees.
Programmatic supply minting.
Instead, the protocol mints 1M tokens every 24 hours to the builder. Builders cannot mint tokens themselves, preventing rugs.
This ensures builders are rewarded when market cap increases, not volume, while continually having funding to keep building for the long term.
Manage new mints.
Builders can easily claim newly minted supply, track and reward contributions, and host their community.
With controlled, consistent token emissions, the best builders will use their tokens to incentivize sustainable product growth without scaring off traders.
Z Combinator enables token launches that align builders and holders via time-controlled token emissions.
The first class of ZC builders.
These devs are proving that tokens can be used to their full potential to quickly bootstrap network effects and invalidate their ideas, laying the foundation for a new class of builders.

What is $ZC?
$ZC is the first token launched on Z Combinator. We use the exact same product we're delivering to all developers on our platform.
$ZC represents a stake in all launches on our platform. Z Combinator takes a small portion of all token mints for each launch on the platform, aligning us and all $ZC holders with every developer through shared token ownership.
We are using $ZC emissions to continuously reward contributors who launch projects and drive attention, usage, and feedback. Visible, direct rewards pull in more contributors and accelerate growth. Great builders will mirror this with their own daily mints to bootstrap their networks and compress the time it takes to iterate on market feedback.
There are four ways to earn emissions right now:
