COINZIX is a centralized exchange, launched in 2021, with headquarters in Romania, that says its mission is to “make crypto simple, safe and reliable for everyone, from beginners to experts”'. The ecosystem was built on four key pillars - payment services for fiat and crypto, crypto trading services, crypto-economic services, and community services. The COINZIX project was born during the pandemic years, in an EU country that has a big technological and resource potential, with the goal to “smoothen the transition from FIAT to CRYPTO” and increase the DeFi literacy. While launching the CEX platform, COINZIX also implemented a network of crypto ATMs in all the major cities in Romania, that continues to grow across Europe. Their ZIX native utility token was designed to fuel the technical development of their ecosystem, which would include staking, listing services, crypto ATM maturity, and point-of-sale locations. Some of the key security features COINZIX has integrated are secure software development cycles, Multi-Factor Authentication for all sensitive operations, withdrawal protection, live customer support in Romanian and English, and Four Eyes Principle for high-value transactions. All smart contracts and blockchain assets are line-by-line audited and validated by COINZIX’s industry leader partner. COINZIX is used not only by crypto traders but also by new crypto projects as their Launchpad. ZIX is COINZIX’s decentralized utility token, aimed to power COINZIX’s ecosystem, and specially designed to offer access to specific services available on the COINZIX platform. The ZIX token allows COINZIX stakeholders like customers, users, coaches, business owners, and partners to use it on each product, and to interact within the ecosystem. The functionalities of the ZIX Token will be adapted or extended, depending on the evolution of their platform. The team behind COINZIX says that they have some compelling use cases for onboarding untapped “users with different backgrounds, levels of education, financial and life approaches”, which aims to expand the crypto mass adoption throughout traditional channels like physical Crypto Hubs and point-of-sales. The ZIX Token is designed to “provide value for every member of the COINZIX community”, as it allows interactions within the COINZIX CEX and ATMs, and would be required for different operations inside COINZIX’s systems. ZIX owners pay less for transaction fees, have access to exclusive offers from COINZIX’s partners, and are granted early access to community initiatives, events, contests, trading opportunities, allocations from the COINZIX Launchpad and different programs which may offer rewards for the holders’ activity. COINZIX planned a partial burn of the fees from ZIX transactions, which increases token scarcity. COINZIX CEX was created with a default setting to pay almost all fees from the user’s ZIX balance, in return for reduced trading fees on transactions performed on the COINZIX Exchange & lower fees through the COINZIX ATM Network. One of COINZIX’s top priorities is to bring their community together, so the members can attend community activities, events, and competitions based on their ZIX token owner status. The COINZIX Launchpad is created to ensure that value is added to both projects and holders. A key feature is the ability to unlock guaranteed allocations in specific projects, by being able to burn ZIX tokens. ZIX token holders can unlock access to private rounds for acquiring tokens issued by third parties, at a preferential price. Who is the team behind COINZIX? COINZIX was founded by Ovidiu Chirodea, who is the CEO of COINZIX, Mihai Sbirneciu who is the CTO, and Mihai Niculae, the COO of COINZIX. The COINZIX co-founders come from different backgrounds like architecture, cybersecurity, and quality, but they all have in common a strong interest in blockchain technologies.
