If you already own zkSNARKs:
> Select SIGN IN
> Enter your shielded Zcash address
> Receive a transaction with a secret code in the memo
> Enter the code on Zilk Road
The code verifies that the address belongs to you. Keep it private and never share it.
Once verified, you’ll stay signed in. No need to enter the code each time.

CROSS-CHAIN PAYMENTS_
When paying through Intents (@auroraisnear), checkout requests a return address on the network you are paying from.
This is only used to return your funds if the route cannot be completed.
If successful, your zkSNARK is delivered to the shielded Zcash address you provided.
FIRST CONFIRMED WINS_
Two collectors may begin purchasing the same zkSNARK at the same time.
The first payment confirmed in a block secures it. The listing will then show that the zkSNARK is being assigned.
Any unsuccessful competing payment is refunded in full.
SETTLEMENT_
Buyers can pay directly with shielded $ZEC or use supported assets from other chains through Aurora Intents.
Sellers always receive ZEC.
After a sale, proceeds enter a 15-minute settlement window and are then released to the seller as a ZEC transaction.
LAUNCH_NOTICE_
Tonight will be chaotic.
Expect congestion. Expect failed transactions. Expect things to break.
> ZEC: preferred
Paying directly with ZEC is fastest.
> NEAR Intents: slower
Bridging takes time. Your desired SNARK may get purchased by someone else before your swap completes.
> floor buys: competitive
Many buyers will be attempting to buy floor SNARKs. Only one transaction wins.
