Good to know

You stay in control

Starzip is non-custodial. Your funds sit in your own wallet until you deposit them into the on-chain settlement contract to trade, and you withdraw back to your wallet anytime.

Real shops, on-chain

Every token is issued by a real local shop listed on Starzip. Open any shop to see its details before you trade.

Common questions
What wallet do I need?

Connect your own self-custody wallet, such as MetaMask or another supported wallet. Starzip runs on opBNB, so make sure your wallet is on the opBNB network. You stay in control of your funds.

Do I need BNB for gas fees?

Yes. Every transaction on opBNB costs a small gas fee paid in BNB from your own wallet. Keep a small BNB balance on opBNB before you trade.

How do deposits and withdrawals work?

Starzip trades in USDT. Once USDT is in your wallet on opBNB, deposit it into the on-chain settlement contract from the portfolio screen or the wallet menu - that deposit is your trading balance. Withdraw back to your wallet anytime.

What does it cost to trade?

Starzip charges a trading fee on each order, and gas fees go to the network. See the docs for the current rates.
