Executive Summary

Last updated 25 Jan 2026, 13:49

Updated: 2025-12-05 Version: 0.3.0

The Zenpower monorepo delivers a sovereign, merit-based platform for creators, gamers, and builders. It combines AI-assisted operations, decentralized identity, provably fair gaming, and a dual-coin economy designed to serve users rather than extract from them.

Vision: The Zenpower Universe

Zenpower is building an ecosystem where:

  • Value flows to creators, not speculators
  • Games are provably fair, not trust-based
  • Identity is soulbound, not tradeable
  • Monetary policy is transparent, not arbitrary

This vision manifests across interconnected surfaces that share authentication, currency, and values.

Core Value Propositions

For Creators & Builders

  • Merit-based rewards: Earn ZENCOIN through contribution, not investment
  • Build grants: Treasury funds projects quarterly via community vote
  • No gatekeeping: No minimum capital requirement to participate

For Players & Users

  • Dual-coin economy: ZEN$ (stable) for spending, ZENCOIN (21M cap) for saving
  • Provably fair gaming: Every outcome verifiable via RNG proofs
  • AI companion: Responsible gaming guardrails and pattern detection
  • Soulbound identity: Achievements earned, not bought

For Operators

  • Unified automation: FastAPI services, RQ workers, Astro SSG, Docker Compose
  • AI collaboration: ZenControl provides audited task execution with OPA policies
  • Wallet-first auth: SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum) with ENS resolution
  • Monitoring stack: Grafana, Prometheus, Alertmanager

Crypto Architecture

Unlike typical gaming tokens, Zenpower's economy is designed from first principles:

Design Choice Typical Approach Zenpower Approach
Pre-mine 15-50% to founders Zero
Supply cap Often unlimited 21M (Bitcoin-matched)
Token model Single token Dual-coin (stable + scarce)
Distribution Investment-based Merit-based
Gaming fairness Trust the house Provably verifiable
Identity Unlimited wallets Soulbound (1 per user)

See /docs/ethos/zencrypto-advantages.md for detailed analysis.
