Zipper is a **decentralized asset zipping (wrapping) protocol** that enables users to convert assets from external blockchains - such as Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, and Litecoin - into **Fabric-compatible zAssets**. Each zAsset is fully backed 1:1 by its original counterpart, ensuring security, transparency and accessibility within the Fabric ecosystem.

By focusing solely on **zipping (wrapping) and unzipping (unwrapping) assets**, Zipper provides a **simple, efficient, and trustless** gateway into Fabric. Secure on-chain vaults, real-time transparency, and compliance measures ensure that every zipped asset remains fully collateralized, giving users confidence when bringing liquidity into the Fabric network.
