Mobile Dapp

The ZION mobile app streamlines interaction within the network. Users can easily post content, upload exclusive videos and memes, add comments and participate in community debates, and join communities. Additionally, users can send encrypted messages and make payments using the platform's services.

Say Bye to Data Collection

ZION is revolutionary in that it provides unmatched privacy to the market. The network's technical structure eliminates advertisements, data collection, and a host of other harmful practices. Instead, users can host or rent a Lightning Network node to participate in the network.

Node Operators that want to rent their channels can save on hardware costs. Additionally, both channels include a pre-set-up channel that allows you to use LND prior to completing your initial setup. This strategy enables users to make instant payments right out the gate.
