Zoide runs on Bitcoin SV (BSV), one of the chains descended from the original Bitcoin. Two things about it matter here; the rest is politics and history you can happily skip.
Fees are tiny, so writing to the chain is affordable
On chains with expensive fees, putting a file on chain is a theoretical possibility. Here it is a normal operation: minting a piece writes the actual file into a transaction, and the network fee for that is a fraction of a cent.
That is what makes the whole idea work. Your piece is not a link to a server that may go away — it is the data in the transaction.
Amounts are counted in satoshis
One BSV is 100,000,000 satoshis. Prices on Zoide are shown in BSV with your currency next to it, and fixed fees are quoted in satoshis because they are small:
You will see both units. They are the same thing at different zoom levels.
What this does not mean
BSV is a cryptocurrency and its price moves. Nothing here is a recommendation to hold it, and Zoide is not an exchange: you need some BSV to pay for what you do, the same way you would need coins for a vending machine.
We do not promise appreciation of anything — see What Zoide is not.
Where to get it
From a cryptocurrency exchange that supports BSV, sent to your payment address. Zoide does not sell it and does not take custody of it: your coins sit at your own address, controlled by your own key.
Send BSV, not another coin. Sending a different coin's asset to a BSV address destroys it, and no support desk anywhere can reverse that.
