It can be issued through mining 1% and minting 99%. This mining and minting can only be done through the Zeniq hub. This means that for you to have access to the coin you will buy the Zeniq coins.

Zeniq coin: is it a good investment?
There are so many promises attached to the Zeniq coin. Whatever investment you want to make through the Zeniq coin, have the following in mind
- Lack of substantial information – the website is devoid of quality information or a road map on what they wish to achieve with the coin. You will only see the uses. Information on the cost of the coin, how many coins will you receive, duration before you receive the coin is not well known. Well, maybe they are keeping it as a surprise. We can only keep our hands folded and wait for the launch.
- The gateway to the coin is expensive. What I mean by this is that you can only receive the coin through the Zeniq Hub. The Hub will then mint the coins, 2 per day. Getting the hub costs 1,499 Euros which is quite expensive. The process is that you will get the coin from Safir Network, and then send it to the Zeniq hardware. The hardware will in turn mint your coins.
- What can you do with the Zeniq coin? I don’t have an actual answer to this. Zeniq didn’t mention any way in which their coin holders will benefit. They just mentioned that you can use the coin to buy Zeniq products. Every other thing is just sounding like promises. I can’t actually say if they are empty promises, we will keep folding our hands until the coin is launched. According to Chinma Udeji who writes for com, and claimed to have listened to one of the Nigerian facilitators of Zeniq coin. The facilitator predicted that the Zeniq coin will rise by 2000% in 5 years. As funny as this sounds, you will be a better judge to check if this is feasible. As I mentioned earlier, there is no tangible road map as to how this will be achieved. The facilitator also mentioned that Zeniq is in partnership with big banks. This wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the website, so you can either believe hearsay or discard the information. Also, there was speculation that Zeniq coin holders will benefit from the shares of companies that will adopt the Zeniq technology. Again, this is another hearsay.
My biggest fear about Zeniq coin is that it is not licensed by DFSA to carry out financial activities. Zeniq is licensed to carry out non-financial services.
Other red flags
Zeniq coin is not listed on the coin market cap. You know how risky it is to invest in coins not listed on the coin market cap.
Apparently, the Zeniq technology itself falls short of some of the services it claims to offer so how then should we believe that the coin is a good investment.
Zeniq coin is listed on Uniswap and PancakeSwap. It seems that they too don’t trust them because you will receive a strict warning when you try to trade with it. You can see for yourself.
If you have 1,499 Euros to spare in getting the Zeniq Hub, and also if you believe in their promises, then you can trade with it.

Conclusion
Zeniq technologies are not entirely transparent. Nothing was said about their security measures and how they intend to protect the assets of their users. Maybe they have other plans they are not making known to the general public. However, if you believe in their promises and all they hope to achieve, you can go on and transact with them.
