Documentation

What happens to your payment, what happens to your item, and how to check both yourself.

How minting works

You connect Noir Wallet, choose how many items you want, and confirm a payment. Nothing else is required — no account, no email, no signup.

  1. Items are reserved for you the moment you start, so nobody can take them while you are in the wallet.
  2. Noir opens with the exact amount and a reference for your order. The amount and destination come from our server, never from the page you are looking at.
  3. Your payment goes to a shielded Zcash address. It is a normal Zcash transaction — Zecord never holds your funds in between.
  4. Once the payment is confirmed on-chain, your items appear under My NFTs.

If you close the tab halfway through, nothing breaks. Verification runs on our servers on a schedule, not in your browser, so an order finishes whether you are watching or not.

How payment is verified

When your wallet finishes, it hands the page a transaction id. That id proves nothing on its own — anyone can type a string into a browser — so we do not treat it as proof.

Before anything is assigned to you, our server checks the chain:

  • the transaction exists and has been mined
  • it actually paid us, for the exact amount of your order
  • it carries your order’s reference
  • it has at least 3 confirmations

All of them, or nothing moves. If our verification is briefly unavailable, your order waits and settles itself afterwards — it is never failed, and it is never guessed at.

What stays private

Payments settle in shielded Zcash. The amount you paid, and the wallet you paid from, are not visible on any block explorer.

Your holdings are visible to you. Zecord publishes no holder list and no public portfolio, so there is nothing for anyone to browse or scrape.

Signing in proves you control a wallet. It does not ask for an email, a name, or anything that identifies you off-chain.

How to verify an item yourself

Before any item was minted, every piece of artwork and every metadata file was hashed, and all 2,000 hashes were folded into a single Merkle root. That root is committed to the Zcash chain.

You can check any item without trusting us:

  1. Open any item page and read its hashes and inclusion proof.
  2. Fetch the same item’s proof from the public API: /api/v1/collections/zecord/items/1/proof
  3. Re-hash the artwork and the metadata yourself, then walk the sibling hashes up to the root.
  4. Compare that root with the one in the commitment transaction.

The response includes the exact hash construction, so the check can be reimplemented in any language. It matches, or it does not.

Limits and rules

  • 0.003 ZEC per item.
  • 2 per wallet for the genesis collection, counted across all your orders — not per order.
  • Fully public. No allowlist, no presale, no reserved slots.
  • Items are allocated in order from whatever is unminted. There is no way to choose a specific one.
  • Reservations last 15 minutes. If you do not pay, the item goes back on sale.

If something goes wrong

You paid but the item has not appeared. Wait a few minutes. Verification needs 3 confirmations, and it runs on a schedule. Your order continues on its own; you do not need to keep the page open.

Your order says it needs review. That means the payment could not be matched automatically — usually a wrong amount, or a missing reference. Nothing is lost. Keep your transaction id and get in touch.

The wallet refused to send. Your reservation is released immediately, and you can start again. No payment left your wallet.

Never share your seed phrase or a spending key with anyone, including us. We will never ask for either, and nothing on Zecord needs them.
