Figures are indicative and dated. Confirm the current terms on the platform before acting.
You do not deposit dollars to a company. You hold crypto in a compatible wallet and interact with the protocol directly. There is no fiat deposit, no ACH transfer, and no company that custodies dollars for you. Confirm the current process from the project documentation.
ZTG is the native token. It pays onchain transaction fees, is the base asset in many markets, and acts as collateral for functions such as creating a market, selecting an oracle, and joining the dispute court. Its market price is set on third party exchanges and is volatile.
Costs are onchain transaction fees paid in ZTG, and the amounts vary with network conditions. We do not publish an unverified fee figure. Confirm the current parameters from the project own documentation before acting.
You do. Funding is self custody, so your crypto stays in your own wallet and settles onchain. There is no central custodian and no customer support desk in the way a regulated exchange provides, which means you carry the risk of lost keys and onchain errors.
The protocol is reachable with a wallet, but reachability is not legal availability. The status of using an unregistered decentralized prediction market is unclear for US persons. Verify your own position before acting, as of February 2026.
This page describes Zeitgeist as we assess it. Platform mechanics, fees, and terms change, so verify the current detail before you rely on it.
