Zipping: Step-by-Step
Before You Begin: This guide assumes you have already added the Fabric network to MetaMask and are connected to Zipper.trade. If you haven’t completed these steps, please visit Connecting Your Wallet on the previous page for instructions.
Step 1: Access the Deposit Tab
Navigate to the Zipper App and select the "Deposit" tab.
Click on the "Select a Z" dropdown.
Use the search bar to find a token by name or paste the contract address of the external blockchain asset you wish to zip into Fabric.
Example (USDT on Ethereum):
✅ Option A: Search for USDT and select it from the dropdown list. ✅ Option B: Paste the Ethereum USDT contract address manually to ensure accuracy.
Choose the network the external asset is coming from. Since USDT exists on multiple chains, for our example we need to ensure Ethereum is selected in the Network dropdown.
Warning: Selecting the wrong token or network may result in permanent loss of funds. Always double-check your selections before proceeding.
Step 2: Acknowledge the Disclaimer & Reveal the Deposit Address
Before revealing your deposit address, Zipper will display an acknowledgment disclaimer explaining important security information.
Read the disclaimer carefully to ensure you understand the risks and responsibilities.
Click "Acknowledge" to proceed.
Step 3: Copy & Use Your Unique Deposit Address
Once acknowledged, your unique deposit address will be displayed.
✅ Funds sent to this deposit address will be zipped and credited to your Fabric wallet. ✅ This address is unique to you and can be used multiple times.
🚀 Key Notes About Your Deposit Address:
Zipper does not track deposit origins - you can deposit from a CEX, multiple wallets, or other sources.
Use the Copy Button to avoid typing errors. Always double-check the pasted address before sending funds.
There is no expiration - you can send funds at any time. Do not rush; verify all information to avoid mistakes.
Step 4: Confirm Deposit Details & Send Your Funds
Below the deposit address, Zipper displays key transaction details for verification:
✔ Fabric Wallet Address: This is where the zipped assets will be sent - ensure it matches your connected wallet. ✔ Origin Chain Contract Address: The contract address of the token on its original blockchain (e.g., Ethereum USDT contract for our example). ✔ Fabric Contract Address: The contract address of the zipped version of the token (e.g., zUSDT on Fabric for our example).
🚀 Estimated Confirmation Time: Zipper provides an estimated processing time so you know when your zipped assets will arrive.
Step 5: Monitor Your Deposit & Transaction History
Send the selected asset to your deposit address using your external wallet or exchange.
The zipping process will initiate and process automatically.
You can track your deposit under the "Recent Deposits" section of the deposit screen.
Once completed, the Overview and Activity pages will update to reflect the transaction.
🎉 Congratulations! You have successfully zipped assets and are ready to use the Fabric blockchain!
