How a dispatch moves
Burn
Approve $KOUR to the Kourier Router. Call dispatch(hash, amount, url). Your KOUR is destroyed.
Deliver
Off-chain Kourier picks up the dispatch, ranks the pending queue by burn size, reposts from the roster.
Receipt
Operator confirms delivery onchain. You receive a soulbound Delivery Receipt NFT. Y.T. signs it.
The token that pays the postage
No presale. No allocation. No team wallet. Every KOUR minted goes into a single-sided Uniswap V3 position at launch. The deployer holds zero KOUR post-mint — only the LP NFT, so the position can be migrated when the range fills. The 2% buy tax accrues in the token contract; a permissionless sweepTax() function converts it to ETH into the Kourier Escrow, which funds the delivery bot.

Compose a dispatch
Try the mechanic without spending. Type a message, pick a burn amount, and see the exact dispatch() call this site will generate for your wallet.

What you get back
A soulbound ERC-721 minted to your wallet the moment delivery is confirmed onchain. Cannot be transferred, sold, or bridged. It just is.

Zipcoin is Veridia's money. Kourier is who carries it. STOP In Snowmoon, the Kouriers move value across the Sprawl on skateboards, protected by kevlar plates and reputation. STOP Onchain, they move messages. STOP Burn to speak. The louder the burn, the further the delivery. END
Runbook
Approve the router
Call approve(router, MAX_UINT) on the KOUR contract, or approve a specific amount per dispatch.
Hash your message
Compute keccak256(bytes(message)) off-chain. Any keccak library works. The site simulator gives a preview hash.
Call dispatch()
Fire dispatch(hash, amount, url). Minimum burn is 1,000 KOUR. Your KOUR is destroyed. A Dispatched event fires.
Wait for the Kourier
The bot ranks the pending queue by burn size and reposts from the roster. Then it calls confirmDelivery(id, proofUrl).
Check your wallet
The Delivery Receipt (KDR) NFT appears in your NFT holdings. It is soulbound — cannot be moved. It is proof.
Answers
What is $KOUR?
A memecoin on Ethereum, sister to $ZC (zipcoin). Zipcoin is the money in Vitalik Buterin's novel Snowmoon. Kourier is who carries it.
What does "burn to dispatch" mean?
You call KourierRouter's dispatch(hash, amount, url). Your KOUR is destroyed from total supply and a Dispatched event is emitted. The off-chain Kourier watches those events, ranks pending by burn size, and reposts the payload from a curated stable of larger X accounts.
What if the delivery fails?
The operator calls markFailed(id, reason). Your KOUR stays burned. The mechanic is best-effort — the burn is the postage, not a purchase. Not every letter gets through in Veridia either.
What is the Delivery Receipt?
A soulbound ERC-721 minted to your wallet on confirmed delivery. Contains sender, message hash, burn amount, proof URL, and timestamps. Non-transferable. Symbol: KDR.
Is there a team allocation, presale, or VC round?
No. 100% of supply mints into a single-sided Uniswap V3 position at launch. The deployer holds zero KOUR after the mint transaction. Only the LP NFT.
Why 2% buy tax and 0% sell tax?
Buy tax funds the Kourier bot's operational costs. Sell tax cannot be enforced on Uniswap V3 without breaking the SwapRouter callback — a hard V3 constraint. So sells are free.
Are you affiliated with Vitalik?
No. Snowmoon is his novel. Zipcoin is his coin. Kourier is an unaffiliated fan project inspired by the same universe. Not affiliated with Vitalik.
Where do I read Snowmoon?
Ask around. Chapter 21 is the important one for us.
Where does the buy tax ETH actually go?
The KOUR contract accrues buy tax as KOUR. Anyone can call sweepTax() — it sells the accrued KOUR back through the V3 pool for WETH, unwraps to ETH, and forwards to the KourierEscrow. From there an operator wallet pays for the bot's uptime and X API keys.
Can I become a Kourier?
The roster is curated. Post-launch, we'll open a form. If your X account carries reach and you want to run deliveries in exchange for a share of the escrow, you'll be able to apply.
