Limits, quotas and accepted files

How much you can upload, how many pieces a wallet holds, and what file types Zoide accepts. Read from the platform's configuration.

Every number here comes from the platform's configuration, so it is what is actually enforced right now.

Submitting a collection

Limit Value
Items per collection 1,000
Size per item 20 MB
Collections you can have in the review queue at once 5

That last one counts collections you have submitted and that are not resolved yet. A rejected one keeps its place until you delete it.

Accepted files

Where What is accepted
Collection items images, video, audio, 3D models (.glb, .gltf), PDF and HTML
Collection cover images only

The cover is images-only on purpose: it has to render as a thumbnail everywhere — in a list, in a card, in a shared link — and a 3D model or an HTML page cannot do that reliably.

Whatever the format, it ends up in the same frame:

A piece in its frame — the page picks how to show it from the file's real type

HTML items run sandboxed. A piece can be a full HTML document, which is what makes pieces that change over time possible, but it is served isolated: it cannot reach your wallet, your session or the rest of the page.

It is still somebody else's code, and it can draw whatever it likes inside its own frame. So: if a piece asks you for a password, a key or a signature, that is not Zoide asking — close it and report it. HTML items also go through a security review before publication, which is deliberately strict.

The exact list of accepted types is enforced at upload time, so if a format is rejected the uploader will tell you rather than failing later.

Your wallet

Limit Value
Pieces a single wallet can manage 100,000

This is a hard cap: a purchase or a transfer that would push a wallet over it is refused. It is not a business rule, it is a practical one — beyond that number the wallet page stops being usable.

Following addresses (Balances)

Limit Value
Addresses you can follow for free 5
Extra addresses each payment unlocks 5
Cost of each unlock 1,000,000 sats

Bulk payments

Limit Value
Minimum per address 1,000 sats
Fee 5% of the amount sent

The minimum per address exists because of how Bitcoin works, not because of us: an output too small to be worth its own network fee is a dust output, and the network will not relay it.

0.000400 ($0.01)
Amounts this small are why fixed fees are quoted in satoshis

Drops

Limit Value
Days a drop stays open after it goes live 1
Same, for subscribers 5

That window is not a reservation. When it expires, whatever has not been minted is turned into an airdrop and the drop leaves the active list.

Chat

Limit Value
Days a message is kept 30

The global chat is not an archive. Older messages are deleted, so anything worth keeping does not belong only in the chat.
