The problem ZPACESHIP Team solves
The solution to the problem is not a one-shot fix, but a backbone that unfolds in stages, providing execution capacity today and real room for growth tomorrow.
Stage 1: POC / Hackathon – 30% Privacy
In the first phase, we deliver a functional MVP for the hackathon:
-
Token launches on Starknet with basic privacy logic using client-side proving (the user proves ownership of the key, generates an off-chain proof, and it is verified on-chain).
-
A simple creation and trading experience to validate the full end-to-end flow.
This stage validates:
-
That the launch and trading flow with partial privacy works.
-
That there is real demand for “creating liquidity pools where participation is private.”
This phase proves the idea is technically feasible and has immediate usage, reducing risk for judges and investors.
Stage 2: MVP – 1,000 to 5,000 users / 60% Privacy
In the second phase, ZPACESHIP stops being just a demo and becomes a live, growth-oriented product:
-
Full launchpad architecture on Starknet, with a deeper and more stable privacy layer.
-
Integration of AI Agents that detect activity, generate content, track referrals, and help scale users without relying solely on manual marketing.
This point is essential for the business model:
-
More volume and more users = more trading fees and liquidity graduation fees.
-
AI evolves into an “acquisition and monetization engine” that scales without multiplying human workforce.
Additional features include support for private distribution events and hidden amounts.
Stage 3: Full Launch – 10,000 Users / 100% Privacy
-
In the third stage, the long-term vision is consolidated, and the true potential of the model is revealed:
-
Full architecture + AI Agents + liquidity pool, ensuring deep markets.
This stage delivers full (100%) privacy in amounts, exposing only the data required for markets to function. This transforms ZPACESHIP into:
-
A launchpad capable of attracting whales and smart money who currently avoid fully transparent platforms.
-
A protocol with a built-in flywheel:
More users → more volume → more fees → more protocol-owned liquidity → more incentive to use the platform.
For Judges and Investors
The same structure that solves the problem (progressive privacy, familiar launchpad UX, AI as a growth engine) is what supports the long-term business:
-
There is a real, measurable, painful problem in the current launchpad market.
-
The solution is divided into realistic phases, each with clear deliverables and achievable KPIs.
-
The business model relies on volume, fees, and tokenomics and a AI layer as a scaling engine.
This is not just a hackathon project. It is the private, sustainable version of the model that dominates Pump.fun today, designed to grow in phases until it becomes the go-to launchpad for users who cannot afford to operate without privacy.
Challenges we ran into
-We had problems declaring the contracts, we found we had foundry 0.52.0. But we needed version 0.53.0 due to new upgrades in Starknet v0. 14.1.
-Most of the earlier repositories suggested for Garaga were outdated. We ran many of them and we built our project with the one that best suit.
-We ran into security issues, that we need to address better after the hackathon. E.g. We need to hide the proof on chain. At some point the proof is passed to the verifier, but it is on chain, so anybody can see the proof and re-use it. We have ideas to mitigate this after the hackathon.
