A Dynamic Fundraising Stablecoin Protocol for Open-Source Projects

ZakoKen combines LayerZero's Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard with Uniswap v4 hooks to create a dual-liquidity mechanism that stabilizes token prices while maximizing project treasury value through controlled arbitrage.

Traditional fundraising tokens suffer from:

• Pump-and-dump schemes harming late participants
• Unfair token concentration benefiting early investors
• Lack of price stability in secondary markets
• Project treasury depletion without sustainable value capture

ZakoKen implements a dual-liquidity mechanism:

1. Fixed Pool: Project-controlled 1:1 USDC redemption (guaranteed, 0% fee)
2. Uniswap v4 Pool: Market-driven dynamic pricing (public, dynamic fee)
3. Project-as-Arbitrageur: Treasury captures profit from price differentials
4. Cross-Chain: LayerZero OFT enables omnichain accessibility

Every token mint/burn attaches off-chain transaction metadata via LayerZero compose messages:

struct ComposeMsg {
    bytes32 transactionHash;    // Off-chain tx identifier
    uint256 timestamp;          // Transaction time
    uint256 amount;             // Minted/burned amount
    address recipient;          // Token recipient
    bytes32 projectId;          // Project ID
    uint256 greedIndex;         // Greed multiplier
}

• Ethereum Sepolia: Full deployment (ZKK-OFT + Fixed Exchange + Uniswap v4 Hook)
• Base Sepolia: ZKK-OFT for cross-chain demo
• Arc Testnet (Optional): Standalone deployment with native USDC

• Node.js 18+
• pnpm
• Wallet with Sepolia ETH and Base Sepolia ETH

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/ZakoDAO/ZakoKen.git
cd ZakoKen

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Setup environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your private key and RPC URLs

# Deploy to Sepolia
pnpm hardhat run scripts/deploy-zkk.ts --network sepolia

# Deploy to Base Sepolia
pnpm hardhat run scripts/deploy-zkk.ts --network baseSepolia

# Configure LayerZero peers
pnpm hardhat run scripts/configure-layerzero.ts

cd frontend
pnpm install
pnpm dev
# Open http://localhost:5173

1. Connect Wallet → MetaMask (Sepolia or Base Sepolia)
2. Simulate Off-Chain Transaction → Click button to mint ZKK tokens
3. View Dual Pools:
   • Fixed Pool: 1:1 USDC, 0% fee
   • Uniswap Pool: ~0.998 USDC, 0.05% fee
4. Swap Tokens → Choose pool and redeem for USDC
5. Watch Arbitrage → Project captures price differential profit
6. Cross-Chain Transfer → Send ZKK Sepolia → Base Sepolia via LayerZero

✅ OFT standard implementation ✅ Compose messages for off-chain metadata ✅ Cross-chain Sepolia ↔ Base Sepolia ✅ Custom lzCompose() handler

✅ v4 Hook with beforeSwap() and afterSwap() ✅ Dynamic fee based on price deviation ✅ Stable-asset AMM logic for ZKK-USDC ✅ Arbitrage opportunity detection

⭕ Deploy on Arc Public Testnet ⭕ Native USDC integration ⭕ Programmable redemption logic
