What is Zebec Network? A blockchain payment revolution that redefines the flow of funds.

In the traditional financial system, salaries need to be settled monthly, and payments often rely on third-party institutions. However, Zebec Network (formerly known as Zebec Protocol), established in 2021, is changing this situation through blockchain technology.

This decentralized payment network, which has received $35 million in investments from institutions such as Coinbase, Circle, and Solana Ventures, is building a new world of real-time capital flow.

Zebec Core Innovations

The core innovation of Zebec Network lies in its "streaming payments" technology, which completely transforms the discrete transaction model of traditional finance.

This technology allows payment actions to continue over a period of time, rather than being completed all at once at a specific point in time.

In the salary payment scenario, employers only need to set the time interval and the type of token, and the system will continuously pay salaries to employees' wallets in seconds. Employees can withdraw in real-time without having to wait for traditional bi-weekly or monthly paydays.

This payment model goes beyond the scope of salaries and is applicable to various high-frequency small-amount scenarios:

• Content consumption: Achieving billing by the minute or even by the second while watching videos or listening to music.
• Token Economy: Project token linear unlocking and continuous release
• Enterprise Payment: Continuous contract payments based on service progress

Zebec was initially built on Solana, leveraging its capability of processing over 4000 transactions per second and near-zero fees. It has now expanded into a multi-chain ecosystem, supporting networks such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Sui.

Zebec Product Matrix

Zebec's product ecosystem has built a complete closed loop around real-time payment scenarios.

Zebec Pay, as a flagship application, allows employees to receive their salaries in stablecoins in real time and automatically converts a portion of their salary into cryptocurrencies or allocates it to crypto IRAs and 401(k) retirement accounts.

Zebec Safe provides multi-signature vault management features, allowing organizations to create vaults controlled by multiple people, set custom approval processes, and achieve fund streaming and secure management.

The Zebec Card, launched in 2025, becomes a bridge connecting the crypto and fiat worlds. This product, in collaboration with Mastercard, supports Apple Pay and Google Pay, automatically converting cryptocurrency to fiat at a 1:1 ratio during payment.

Zebec is also actively laying out DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network), integrating blockchain with hardware devices such as Point of Sale (PoS) to promote the implementation of crypto payments in physical scenarios.

Compliance Expansion, Acquisitions, and Strategic Transformation

In response to the tightening global cryptocurrency regulations, Zebec made a strategic move in June 2025 by acquiring the compliance platform Gatenox.

This strategic acquisition aims to integrate mature KYC (Know Your Customer), KYB (Know Your Business), and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) technologies into the Zebec payment system.

Compliance integration brings multiple values:

• Reduce operational risks under the EU MiCA regulations and UK FCA supervision.
• Enhance attractiveness to institutional users
• Paving the way for entry into regulated markets such as the EU and the UK

Around the same time, Zebec announced the acquisition of a UK fintech company with over 50,000 users, further expanding its footprint in regulated markets.

Token Economics and Market Performance

The native token of Zebec, ZBCN, was issued in March 2022 and migrated from the original ZBC token in 2024 (1:10 split).

The total supply limit of the token is 100 billion pieces, mainly used for paying transaction fees, governance voting, and ecological incentives.

Holders can earn up to 15% annual yield through staking, and enjoy fee discounts and early access to products.

2025 will be the breakout year for ZBCN: in May, the price surged nearly 900%, reaching a historic high of $0.0074. Despite a 47% drop on June 11, there has still been a 250% increase over the past 90 days.

Analysts point out that this pullback is a normal profit-taking, with 0.0033 USD becoming a key support level. Long-term forecasts indicate that by 2030, the price range of ZBCN may be between 0.003 and 0.01 USD.

Summary and Outlook

Payment giant Visa is facing increasing pressure, while innovators like Zebec are reshaping the game. Employees no longer wait for payday, but receive real-time compensation while creating value; businesses are no longer constrained by the inefficiencies of traditional financial systems.

The moment the Zebec Card is swiped at the POS machine, cryptocurrency silently converts into fiat currency. Behind this transaction is the handshake between blockchain technology and the real world.

The flow payment ecosystem built by Zebec Network is becoming the strongest bridge between traditional finance and the Web3 economy.
