Release Details

Release Date: March 27th, 2025

Release Type

Informational – optional action from platforms

Summary

Background

Platforms can accompany their Zero Hash integration with a PSP integration. This is to allow customers to purchase crypto or stablecoins using a card or a popular digital wallet (ie, Apple Pay) - the company responsible for this part of the flow is the PSP.

The PSP is responsible for the processing of the fiat leg of the transaction, Zero Hash is responsible for the crypto or stablecoin side (unless of course you are using any of Zero Hash's fiat product offerings directly).

New Requirements

To fulfill regulator audits, Zero Hash must be able to associate a Zero Hash transaction to and associated PSP one. We will do this by leveraging the new Zero Hash object payment_processor. This has been added to the below endpoints:

and it contains two sub-fields:

FieldDescriptionValidation
nameThe name of the PSP that processed the transactionfree-form
idThe unique ID that can be tied back to the PSP transaction

Example requests:

-- POST /liquidity/rfq
  
  {
  "participant_code":"CUST01",
  "side": "buy",
  "underlying": "USDC", 
  "quoted_currency": "USD",
  "total": "500", 
  "payment_processor": {         
      "name": "checkout.com", -- the name of the PSP clearing the fiat leg of the trade
      "id": "5cd07738b861c31e3bd61467BTC1Buy1568311644602" --this will be used by Zero Hash to reconcile with the PSP
    }
}

-- POST /convert_withdraw/rfq
  
  {
  "participant_code":"CUST01",
  "side": "buy",
  "underlying": "USDC",
  "quoted_currency": "USD", 
  "total": "500", 
  "withdrawal_address": "0x1c7D4B196Cb0C7B01d743Fbc6116a902379C7238",
  "payment_processor": {         
      "name": "checkout.com", -- the name of the PSP clearing the fiat leg of the trade
      "id": "5cd07738b861c31e3bd61467BTC1Buy1568311644602" -- the  unique ID that must be tied back to the PSPs transaction - this will be used by Zero Hash to reconcile with the PSP
    }
}

Settlement Flow

There are 2 different types of settlement sessions:

  • Net buy session: There is more buy volume than sell (therefore Zero Hash receive a settlement)
  • Net sell session: There is more sell volume than buy (therefore Zero Hash will disperse a settlement)

Net Buy

  • Zero Hash will receive a settlement directly from the PSP
  • The funds will be credited to the Platform's float account

Net Sell

  • Platform can request a USD withdrawal on the client portal or via API to their respective bank

Summary

As part of the Account Funding product, Zero Hash has added a new field (reference_id) to the access token retrieval step of the the Account Link/Withdraw SDK. This new field is also represented in step 6 on the integration guide.

This field can be used to give Platforms extreme confidence that a withdraw was indeed initiated by their Customer, allowing them to "lock" the funds in their systems. Rather than solely relying on the payments webhooks to make this determination, Platforms can now query a REST endpoint (GET /payments) or GET /payments/{payment_id} in-tandem.

Example:

  • Platform requests access token:
 {
    "participant_code": "CUST01",
    "permissions": ["crypto-withdrawals"],
    "withdrawal_details": {
        "external_account_id": "c476a81f-a29f-4e22-88db-1f521d7cf004",
        "quoted_asset": "USD",   
        "withdrawal_request_amount": "200"
    },
   "reference_id": "0bd7f7f0-cf26-495f-b2df-e8afe8481ba3"
}
  • Customer (CUST01) goes through the SDK flow, successfully initiating a withdrawal of 500 USDC
  • Payments webhook retrieval fails due to a network blip
  • Platform queries GET /payments and see a payment has been initiated with reference_id = 0bd7f7f0-cf26-495f-b2df-e8afe8481ba3
  • Platform will debit the Customer's USD balance within their system, accurately reflecting the current balance

Summary

Zero Hash is debuting its CREATE2 smart contract deployment capabilities. CREATE2 is an Ethereum opcode for creating smart contracts that was introduced as part of Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1014 and implemented during the Constantinople upgrade (February 2019).

Specifically, CREATE2 ensures that neither the End Customer, Zero Hash, nor the Platform (depending on your setup) will be charged a network fee until we're sure that a deposit is coming. This can significantly increase product margins, completely eliminating unnecessary costs.

This release impacts the following networks:

  • Arbitrum
  • Avalanche
  • Base
  • Ethereum
  • Optimism
  • Polygon

📘

Platforms do not need to take any action to implement CREATE2, as it is the default standard for all deposit addresses out-of-the-box

Unified Address

With this release, we have also launched the "unified address" feature, allowing any participant (either an end customer or an entity participant) to generate a single, unified addresses across all networks within this list:

  • Arbitrum
  • Avalanche
  • Base
  • Ethereum
  • Optimism
  • Polygon

Again, this is the default behavior for any newly created address. Existing/already-created addresses will go unchanged.

This is a UX enhancement as the need to manage multiple addresses across networks are removed. Additionally, this allows Zero Hash to successfully recover assets if the funds were sent to the wrong network.

Recovery

Before this release, there were unfortunate situations where an end customer or entity participant would send assets to non-compatible wallet. For example, if someone sent ETH to a Polygon address, we typically would be unable to recover these funds. With this release, we will be able to successfully recover funds as long as the network's in question are within the CREATE2 network list:

  • Arbitrum
  • Avalanche
  • Base
  • Ethereum
  • Optimism
  • Polygon
