Split the burn. Enter the index.
Small tokens don't have a whale to burn $ANSEM for a place in the z500. Here $ZFUND holders vote a project in, then many wallets fund one vault. Hit the goal — it burns in a single transaction. Miss it — every contributor takes back every token.

How a pool works
Four steps,
two outcomes.
Nothing depends on anyone's goodwill after the money moves. The escrow, the burn, the claim and the refund are all instructions in the same program.
Read the full rules →01
Apply
A creator files the token, the burn goal and a funding window, and pays a flat 1K $ZFUND fee that covers moderation. The fee is not refundable and says so on the form.
02
Vote
$ZFUND holders vote with their balance for 3 days. Simple majority, 5M $ZFUND quorum, applicant excluded. No lockups, no separate governance token.
03
Fund
Any holder deposits $ANSEM into the pool's escrow vault. The goal is a hard cap: what you see on the bar is exactly what will be burned. New launches must escrow their allocation before a single token can come in.
04
Burn or refund
Goal reached: the vault burns in one instruction and the escrowed allocation opens for pro-rata claims. Deadline passed below goal: refunds open and every wallet withdraws 100 % of what it put in.
The two outcomes
All, or nothing at all.
Goal reached
Burn + list
- Anyone can call
finalize_success. The entire vault is burned from the pool's own token account in that instruction — there is no interim wallet. - Existing token: the burn is the whole point. No new supply is distributed.
- New launch: contributors claim their share of the escrowed allocation, proportional to what they put in. A 2.5 % protocol fee is taken from that allocation, not from anyone's $ANSEM, and goes to $ZFUND buyback-and-burn.
Goal missed
Full refund
- Once the deadline passes below goal, anyone can call
finalize_refund. From then on each contributor withdraws exactly what they deposited. - No haircut, no fee, no waiting on the creator. The vault only ever moves back to the addresses that funded it.
- The creator takes back the escrowed allocation. The application fee stays with the protocol.
$ZFUND
Fixed supply,
no emissions.

Read before you contribute
Eligibility is not a listing. A completed burn makes a token meet z500 criteria. Whether Ansem ranks it, shares it or ignores it is entirely his call and outside anything this protocol can promise.
Allocations can go to zero. A pre-launch allocation from a funded project is a venture position. If the project doesn't work, the tokens may be worth nothing. There is no yield here and nobody should tell you otherwise.
Votes can be gamed at low turnout. Quorum and applicant exclusion reduce the risk of a small group pushing an application through; they don't remove it. If holders don't vote, weak projects can pass.
Have a token and a community, but no whale?
Put it to a vote.
1K $ZFUND to file. Holders decide in 3 days. If they say yes, the pool opens and the whole community can fund the burn.
