Technology Stack

Starzip is built on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and combines an off-chain matching engine with on-chain settlement. The goal is centralized-exchange speed and usability, with the transparency and self-custody guarantees of a public blockchain.

Built on BSC

BSC is a Layer 1 blockchain, fully EVM-compatible. It lets Starzip settle trades, token sales, and reward distributions on-chain while keeping composability with the broader EVM ecosystem.

Hybrid Exchange Architecture

Order matching runs off-chain for low-latency execution, while every trade settles on-chain. This hybrid split delivers responsive trading UX while keeping settlement transparent and on-chain, with trading fees recorded as Starzip's protocol revenue.

Smart Contract Suite

Core protocol logic lives in audited on-chain contracts. Each is purpose-built and independently verifiable.

• Settlement contract - finalizes matched trades and records trading fees as Starzip protocol revenue; the owner allocation release is handled separately by the token sale contract, in monthly steps.
• Token sale contract - sets the price by the quantity sold, lets buyers buy and sell back at the current price during the sale, and executes the listing once the business owner confirms it.
• Governance contracts - execute passed Starzip DEX DAO proposals on-chain after a timelock. Store Tokens have no governance contract; disclosure challenges run through the dispute-resolution contract instead.

Account Models

Starzip supports two account paths suited to different users.

• Self-custody wallet - traders and token holders connect their own wallet, keeping full custody of assets. Store Tokens can be swapped for USDT on the DEX at any time as a liquid exit path.
• Smart Account onboarding - businesses issuing a Store Token are onboarded via an ERC-4337 smart account, so they can deploy and operate on-chain without managing seed phrases or gas mechanics directly.
