Bidding with ZASH

You can use your ZASH to bid on a variety of products. Here's how bidding works:

  • Place a Bid: Select a product and bid using ZASH from your ZiTenga Markets wallet. For example, if you bid 50 ZASH on an item, those 50 ZASH will be frozen in your wallet.
  • Ongoing bidding: You might get outbid, in which case your bid ZASH will become unfrozen. If you have sufficient ZASH funds, you can increase your bid.
