Questions
A considered guide to the RING_ZERO ecosystem, self-custody architecture, and presale experience.
THE ECOSYSTEM
What is RING_ZERO?
RING_ZERO is a phone-first spatial computing ecosystem built around 0xLENS, a lightweight visual client, 0xRING, a hardware-isolated self-custody wallet and discreet controller, 0xLINK, an optional extended-power neckstrap, and RING_ZERO Companion for compatible iPhone and Android devices. 0RING is the cryptocurrency connecting access, governance, and participation across the ecosystem.
Why does 0xLENS use a phone as its primary computer?
RING_ZERO Companion uses a compatible iPhone or Android phone as the primary compute host. This split-compute architecture keeps much of the processing and thermal load off the face, while 0xLENS focuses on display, audio, sensors, connectivity, and power management.
Can 0xLENS be used wirelessly or through a cable?
Yes. Wireless mode uses a direct Wi-Fi link to a compatible phone. Wired mode uses USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode for the display connection, with USB Power Delivery where supported. Available features depend on the phone's hardware and operating-system support.
How is 0xLENS powered?
0xLENS supports three power paths: integrated frame batteries for untethered use, the optional 0xLINK neckstrap for extended wireless sessions, and a compatible USB-C display-and-power connection for longer wired use.
SELF-CUSTODY
What does 0xRING do?
0xRING is primarily a self-custody hardware wallet. It also provides capacitive thumb gestures and haptic confirmation for discreet interaction with 0xLENS. Hardware-level isolation keeps wallet authorization separate from its controller functions.
How does 0xRING protect private keys?
Private keys are created and used inside the secure element. A hardware-protected wallet domain controls fingerprint verification, access-code validation, transaction policy, confirmation, and signing, while a dedicated controller domain manages gestures, haptics, and Bluetooth LE. Every signature requires deliberate local confirmation.
How can I recover access if 0xRING is lost or fingerprint verification is unavailable?
The ring access code provides an alternative local access method. During docked setup, the owner records a user-controlled 24-word recovery phrase shown on the trusted dock display and stores it offline. That phrase can restore the wallet on a replacement device.
Which blockchain networks are supported?
Initial wallet support covers Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum and ERC-20 assets, and BNB Smart Chain and BEP-20 assets. Network availability is delivered through qualified device firmware and compatible RING_ZERO Companion releases, allowing validated network support to expand through updates.
PRESALE & OWNERSHIP
What is 0RING?
0RING is the cryptocurrency and economic layer of the RING_ZERO ecosystem. It is designed for ecosystem access, community governance, priority access to limited hardware releases, and participation in future programs approved through the RING_ZERO DAO. 0RING is planned as a Solana SPL token at the Token Generation Event and is distinct from 0xRING, the physical hardware wallet and controller.
How does a 0RING presale purchase work?
Connect a compatible Solana wallet, enter an amount within the displayed purchase limits, review the recipient, amount, and network fee in the wallet, and approve the transfer. The site verifies the finalized transaction directly on Solana before recording the corresponding 0RING allocation.
When are presale tokens distributed?
Recorded presale allocations are scheduled for distribution to the purchasing wallet after the Token Generation Event. The distribution schedule will be published through official RING_ZERO channels and remains subject to technical and regulatory requirements. Presale blockchain transfers are irreversible and purchases are final under the published Terms & Conditions.
Does buying 0RING include RING_ZERO hardware?
A 0RING purchase is separate from a hardware order. 0RING is designed for ecosystem access, governance, and participation. Hardware ordering, availability, and fulfillment will be announced through official RING_ZERO channels.
Does RING_ZERO offer NFTs?
No. RING_ZERO does not issue NFTs and has no current plans to launch them. Any NFT claiming an official RING_ZERO affiliation should be treated as a scam unless verified through RING_ZERO's official channels. Our focus remains on 0xLENS, 0xRING, RING_ZERO Companion, and the 0RING ecosystem. We welcome community proposals when they demonstrate clear, lasting value for the project and its members.
Does RING_ZERO offer an airdrop?
No. RING_ZERO is not conducting an airdrop and has no current plans to launch one. Any website, account, message, or wallet request claiming to offer an official RING_ZERO airdrop should also be treated as a scam unless verified through RING_ZERO's official channels.
What support and warranty are planned for the hardware?
RING_ZERO's published terms provide a one-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects from the hardware purchase date, subject to the stated exclusions. Product support, partnership inquiries, and security disclosures can be directed through the official contact page.
A question deserves a precise answer.
