General FAQs - Understanding the Basics
1. What is Zodor, and what does it offer?
Zodor is a blockchain-powered ecosystem that makes it easy to invest in real-world assets by converting them into compliant digital tokens. These tokens can represent ownership in real estate, private-company shares, green energy projects, carbon credits, and structured products.
Zodor offers four products:
Zodor Capital Zodor's own platform for investing in tokenized businesses and properties (per-asset ERC-3643 tokens)
Zodor Infra A plug-and-play tokenization service for businesses to run their own tokenized platforms
Zodor Energy A clean-energy and carbon-credit funding engine using
ZEROCand FHE-shieldedConfidentialZEROCZodor Infinity A no-code platform for launching and managing tokenized businesses with AI-powered valuation and milestone-based fund release
2. What problem is Zodor solving?
Traditionally, investing in real estate or private equity has been expensive, complicated, and limited by geography. Investors face high capital requirements, long processing times, and a lack of transparency. Zodor solves this by tokenizing real-world assets, enabling fractional ownership from $100, improving liquidity and settlement speed, providing global access to high-return markets, and offering transparent, on-chain compliant infrastructure.
3. What are real-world assets (RWAs)?
RWAs are physical or financial assets with real value: real estate properties, company equity, bonds, industrial equipment, precious metals, invoice-backed assets, and now carbon credits. Zodor converts these assets into compliant digital tokens.
4. What does tokenization mean, and why is it important?
Tokenization is the process of turning ownership of a real-world asset into a digital token. Each token represents a fraction of the asset and can be bought, sold, or held opening access to high-value assets with small investments, recording ownership immutably on-chain, improving liquidity, and bringing transparency and automation to the investment process.
5. What is fractional ownership?
Fractional ownership lets multiple people co-own a single asset by dividing it into digital shares (tokens). For example, you can own a $1,000 share of a $100,000 property or a $100 share of a $750,000 deal through Zodor Capital's per-asset token model.
6. What is a security token, and how is it used in Zodor?
A security token is a digital representation of ownership in a regulated, real-world asset. Unlike utility tokens, they confer legal rights (dividends, profit-sharing, equity) and must follow securities regulations. Zodor's security tokens are ERC-3643 instruments compliance is enforced on every transfer through ZodorComplianceModule.
7. What kind of assets can I invest in through Zodor?
Indian and GCC real estate (residential, commercial, land)
Commodities and precious metals
Private equity in startups and SMEs
Bonds and structured products
Renewable-energy revenue streams
Verified carbon credits (
ZEROC)Multi-tranche AI-priced ZIST products
8. Why should I invest in tokenized assets through Zodor?
Lower capital requirements, global access, faster settlement, liquidity through permissioned AMMs and bridges, transparency through on-chain tracking, security through smart-contract compliance, and portfolio diversity across asset classes all from a smartphone with no native-token gas or seed phrases.
9. What are $ZOD Tokens and how are they different from Security Tokens?
Security Tokens (ZCET, ZIPT, ZEROC, ZIST, per-asset Capital children, ZCFT) regulated digital assets that represent ownership in real-world investments and grant rights like income, profit-sharing, or carbon retirement
10. What is the Zodor Loyalty Program?
The loyalty program rewards users with AR Points, NFT Shards, and Level-Up Badges for activities like referring friends, providing feedback, completing quests, daily logins, and investing. Power users can join the Ambassador Program or KOL leaderboard. Points and shards unlock platform perks, badge multipliers, and (for TerraScan contributors) rewards.
11. Do I need to know blockchain or crypto to use Zodor?
Not at all. Zodor is designed for everyone, including first-time users no-code interfaces, automatic wallet creation, passkey/biometric login, no seed phrases, no native-token gas. The wallet's address is your existing EOA thanks to EIP-7702, so you can connect to any standard Web3 tool.
12. How does Zodor keep my investment secure?
Immutable blockchain records of ownership, smart contracts for tamper-proof transactions, KYC/AML verification, audited systems, three privacy modes (ZK-KYC, Paillier, FHE), reserve-proof oracles for private tokens, and continuous security monitoring.
13. Can I sell or transfer my tokens?
Yes subject to the asset's compliance configuration (jurisdictional rules, holding periods, country caps). Tokens can be sold on ZodorPermissionedPool, redeemed through ZodorSecurityVault, or bridged cross-chain via CCIP / LayerZero OFT.
14. How is Zodor different from traditional investing platforms?
Zodor removes middlemen, friction, and limitations of traditional investing through borderless access to tokenized RWAs, fractional ownership of high-value assets, instant settlement via smart contracts, transparent and compliant investment processes, and tools for both investing in and building tokenized businesses.
15. What do I need to get started with Zodor?
A smartphone or computer, internet connection, and identity documents for KYC verification. No external wallet, seed phrase, or native-token funding required — Zodor's onboarding handles wallet creation and gas through stablecoins automatically.

Maskade Blockchain
1. What is the Maskade Blockchain?
Maskade is a high-performance, privacy-focused blockchain built to support tokenized ecosystems and decentralized applications. It provides a secure, scalable, and compliant foundation for real-world-asset tokenization.
2. What makes Maskade different from other blockchains?
Scalability (sub-second finality, ~1 gwei gas), security (purpose-built validator set), and compliance (KYC/AML at the protocol level via Masque ID).
3. Why is Maskade built on Avalanche L1?
Avalanche L1 (formerly Avalanche Subnet) gives Maskade independent operation with full network control, sub-second transaction finality, low costs, global accessibility, and EVM compatibility meaning every Solidity tool and library works unchanged.
4. Is Maskade live?
Yes, Maskade L1 testnet is live (Chain ID 30917). Mainnet mirror of the configuration is on the near-term roadmap.
Masque ID
1. What is Masque ID?
Masque ID is a decentralized identity protocol bringing secure, privacy-respecting identity management to on-chain environments. It enables compliant interactions with tokenized assets and DeFi protocols by combining on-chain identity proofs with off-chain document verification.
2. Where is identity data stored?
In a hybrid model: sensitive documents live with trusted KYC providers (Sumsub), while only encrypted proofs and signed attestations are published on-chain. The blockchain stays auditable but privacy-preserving.
3. How does Masque ID protect user privacy?
Instead of putting raw personal data on-chain, Masque ID publishes only encrypted, tamper-proof claims. ZK proofs (Groth16) enable proof of compliance without revealing the underlying data for example, proving "I am a verified investor from a non-sanctioned jurisdiction whose KYC has not expired" without revealing the country, name, or expiry date.
4. What are compliance claims?
Specific proofs or certifications tied to a user identity: KYC_INDIA, KYC_GLOBAL, ACCREDITED, JURISDICTION, AML_CLEAR, RISK_SCORE, ESG_VERIFIED. Stored on the user's Masque ID and queried by ZodorComplianceModule in real time.
5. How does Masque ID handle status updates?
Claims can be revoked or updated on-chain; risk scores recalculated based on new activity, jurisdiction changes, or updated provider data. Applications relying on Masque ID reflect changes instantly.
Wallets, Gas, and Privacy
1. Do I need a seed phrase to use Zodor?
No. Web users sign in with passkeys (WebAuthn). Mobile users sign with device biometrics (FaceID / TouchID via the Secure Enclave). The signing key never leaves the device.
2. How is gas paid if I don't hold any native tokens?
ZodorTokenPaymaster accepts USDT, USDC for gas. The paymaster prices gas through SimplePriceOracle, applies a 500 bps buffer, and bills the user in the same stablecoin used for the transaction. Sponsored addresses (promotional flows) get gas free of charge.
3. What is EIP-7702 and why does it matter?
EIP-7702 lets a regular EOA delegate execution to a smart-contract account (ZodorDelegateAccount) without changing addresses. Users keep their existing on-chain identity and history while gaining smart-wallet features like batched calls, ERC-1271 signatures, and paymaster-funded gas.
4. How private are my balances?
Three modes:
Standard ERC-3643 (most assets) balances are public on-chain (necessary for compliance enforcement)
FHE-shielded (
ConfidentialZEROC,ConfidentialSecurityToken) balances encrypted on-chain via Zama fhEVMPath C (live
ZCFTpilot)balanceOfgated tomsg.sender,Transferevents emitamount = 0, reserve-oracle attests aggregate supply
Cross-Chain
1. Can I move my Zodor tokens to other chains?
Yes, through two complementary bridges:
ZodorCCIPBridgeChainlink CCIP, lock/release pattern, institutional-grade message validationZodorOFTAdapterLayerZero v2 OFT, burn-and-mint pattern, ~$0.02–$0.10 per transfer
Both bridges enforce compliance on the destination side: canTransfer() runs against ZodorComplianceModule on both chains.
2. Where can Zodor tokens be deployed?
The contract suite supports deployment on Maskade L1, Ethereum Sepolia, BSC Testnet, Avalanche Fuji, Base Sepolia, and Arbitrum Sepolia, with mainnet mirrors planned. The same compliance configuration deploys identically across all targets.
