An independent guide to taking part in Zeitgeist, the decentralized prediction market protocol on Polkadot. How wallet access and the ZTG token work, and why its status for US persons is unclear. Information, not advice.
Figures are indicative and dated. Confirm the current terms on the platform before acting.
You use a compatible crypto wallet to connect to the protocol rather than opening an account with a company. You hold crypto assets, including ZTG, and interact directly with smart contracts on the Polkadot network.
We cannot confirm that. Zeitgeist is a decentralized, unregistered protocol and its status for US persons is unclear. Reachability through a wallet is not the same as legal availability. Verify your own position and the protocol terms before acting, as of November 2025.
No. Zeitgeist is run by code, not a company. There is no central custodian and no customer support desk in the way a regulated exchange provides. Your assets sit in your own wallet and you carry the self custody risk.
ZTG is the native token. It pays network transaction fees, powers governance, serves as the base asset in many markets, and is used as collateral for functions such as creating a market and joining the dispute court. Its price is volatile.
You must be 18 or older or the legal age in your region, and you must comply with the protocol terms and your local law. Being able to reach a protocol does not mean you are eligible to use it.
This page describes Zeitgeist as we assess it. Platform mechanics, fees, and terms change, so verify the current detail before you rely on it.
