Trader guide
zk-pad coins are ordinary ERC20 tokens trading on PancakeSwap Infinity pools. You can trade them in the zk-pad app or through any router that supports Infinity CL pools.
Meme and donation coins are extremely risky. Most go to zero. Read the risk disclosure.
Discover
The home page shows a live activity feed and tabs for New, Trending, Top volume, Top market cap and Gainers. You can filter by:
- quote token: WBNB, USDT and other stables, BTCB, ETH, CAKE, or RWA pairs such as XAUt;
- fee: the coin's total fee F, from 1% to 5%;
- age, and search by name, ticker or address.
Each card shows the image, name and ticker, market cap, 24-hour change, volume, the quote-token badge, the fee badge and the coin's age. A freeze-capable badge marks coins paired with a quote token whose issuer can freeze transfers (USD1, FDUSD, XAUt).
Check a coin before you buy
On the token page, look at:
- Fee F. You pay it on every buy and every sell, plus about 0.03% to PancakeSwap.
- Anti-sniper countdown. In the first two minutes after launch the fee may be much higher (up to 80%). Wait for the countdown to finish unless you know what you are doing. See anti-sniper fee.
- Holders. A dev buy or a few large early holders can sell into you.
- The beneficiary. It is shown as an opaque id. zk-pad cannot verify any claim the coin makes about who the beneficiary is. A coin named after a person is not endorsed by that person unless they say so themselves.
- The quote token. Prices and fees are in that token.
Buy and sell
- Connect a wallet on BNB Smart Chain.
- Choose Buy or Sell and enter an amount. For WBNB-paired coins you can pay with BNB directly, and receive BNB when you sell.
- Review the breakdown: zk-pad fee F (with its 25% protocol / 75% beneficiary split), PancakeSwap's fee, price impact and the minimum you will receive.
- Set slippage and deadline. The router reverts if the price moves past your slippage or the deadline passes.
- For ERC20 inputs, approve the router once, then swap.
The app routes swaps through the ZkPadSwapRouter,
which supports exact-input and exact-output single-pool swaps.
Fees
| You pay | Goes to |
|---|---|
| 0.75 × F | The coin's beneficiary |
| 0.25 × F | zk-pad protocol treasury |
| ~0.03% | PancakeSwap (Infinity protocol fee) |
With F = 2%, a 1 BNB buy pays about 0.015 BNB to the beneficiary, 0.005 BNB to the protocol and 0.0003 BNB to PancakeSwap. More examples are in fees.
Reading the chart
- Candles are available at 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d, priced in the quote token or in USD.
- Market cap = price × 1,000,000,000 (the fixed supply). Market cap and FDV are the same, because the entire supply exists from launch.
- Liquidity is the value held by the locked positions. It can never be withdrawn, but remember that most of the "liquidity" at launch is the coin itself, not the quote token.
- The stats panel also shows fees generated and the beneficiary's share.

Trading elsewhere
Because the hook does not depend on custom hookData, any PancakeSwap Infinity router can trade
zk-pad pools. Aggregators may show the coin once they index Infinity hook pools. The fee is the
same wherever you trade.
