Why doesn’t Zutopia hold user funds?

Zutopia is intentionally designed without escrow accounts, meaning it never takes custody of either Zucoins or fiat currency during a trade.

This design choice is central to how the platform operates as a peer-to-peer marketplace rather than a custodial exchange.

No Escrow Accounts

Zutopia does not hold or store your Zucoins. All Zucoins are stored within your Zucoins Wallet. During transactions, purchasing funds are pre-authorised at the start of a transaction and only released after a successful transfer.

Important Notes

  • Because funds and Zucoins remain with the trading parties themselves, Zutopia's role is to verify and coordinate the trade rather than to hold value on anyone's behalf.
