Enhanced protocol specifications for the Pi ecosystem — building on PiNetwork/PiRC with marketplace-native innovations, merchant alignment, and cross-app interoperability.
| # | Title | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| PiRC1 | ZYN Ecosystem Token Design | 🟢 Draft | Enhanced token launch framework with merchant staking, loyalty rewards, burn mechanism, and cross-app utility |
| PiRC2 | Enhanced Subscription Contract | 🟢 Draft | Improved recurring payment contract with grace periods, dispute resolution, tiered pricing, and pause/resume |
| PiRC3 | Decentralized Marketplace Protocol | 🟢 Draft | On-chain escrow, community jury disputes, reputation-weighted search, and transparent fee distribution |
| PiRC4 | Reputation & Trust Score System | 🟢 Draft | Manipulation-resistant on-chain reputation with cross-app portability and stake-weighted scoring |
| PiRC5 | Cross-App Wallet Interoperability | 🟢 Draft | Unified wallet layer enabling seamless ZYN transfers, balance sync, and app allowance management |
| PiRC6 | Smart Contract Reference Implementation | 🟢 Draft | Production-ready Rust/Soroban contracts for all proposals with CI/CD, testing, and formal verification |
| PiRC7 | AI-Enhanced Ecosystem Intelligence | 🟢 Draft | Practical AI models for fraud detection, dynamic pricing, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics |
ZynMart PiRC is a community contribution to the Pi ecosystem, extending the foundational work of PiNetwork/PiRC with marketplace-native innovations.
| Contribution | Proposal | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Merchant Staking & Alignment | PiRC1+ | Merchants stake ZYN for visibility, reduced fees, and marketplace commitment |
| Deflationary Burn Mechanism | PiRC1+ | 0.5% of every ZYN transaction burned — supply decreases as activity grows |
| Commerce Engagement Scoring | PiRC1+ | Marketplace-specific engagement: purchases, reviews, referrals — not just generic usage |
| Loyalty & Rewards Layer | PiRC1+ | ZYN cashback, spin wheel, promo codes, referral bonuses, review incentives |
| Grace Periods for Subscriptions | PiRC2+ | 3-day grace before cancellation — protects subscribers from instant loss |
| On-Chain Dispute Resolution | PiRC2+ / PiRC3 | Community jury system with merchant bond — fair, transparent, decentralized |
| Tiered Subscription Pricing | PiRC2+ | Discounts for long-term commitments (5-15%) — rewards loyalty |
| Pause & Resume Subscriptions | PiRC2+ | Subscribers can pause without cancelling — flexibility for real users |
| Pro-Rata Refunds | PiRC2+ | Fair refund on cancellation — 90% returned, 10% burned |
| Decentralized Marketplace | PiRC3 | Full on-chain commerce: escrow, delivery proof, search ranking, fee distribution |
| Reputation & Trust Scores | PiRC4 | Manipulation-resistant on-chain trust — portable across all Pi apps |
| Cross-App Wallet Interoperability | PiRC5 | Unified ZYN balance across ecosystem — earn in one app, spend in another |
| Production Smart Contracts | PiRC6 | Rust/Soroban implementation for all 5 proposals — not theoretical, deployable today |
| Fraud Detection (AI) | PiRC7 | XGBoost model detects wash trading, review farming, Sybil attacks in real-time |
| Dynamic Pricing (AI) | PiRC7 | RL agent optimizes listing boost costs based on demand, category, and merchant performance |
| Anomaly Detection (AI) | PiRC7 | Isolation Forest detects unusual patterns with 4-level alert system |
| Predictive Analytics (AI) | PiRC7 | Churn prediction, dispute triage, demand forecasting — AI assists, humans decide |
| Community Governance | All | ZYN holders vote on marketplace policies, fees, and protocol upgrades |
| Document | Description |
|---|---|
| Architecture.md | Full system architecture with data flows, contract interactions, and technology stack |
| Security-Audit-Framework.md | Threat model, audit checklist, formal verification targets, bug bounty program |
| Developer-SDK.md | TypeScript/JavaScript SDK for integrating ZYN features into Pi applications |
