As we navigate the post-SAFE Banking Act and Federal Regulation era, our excitement is palpable. We stand at the vanguard of an exciting, growing market, ready to redefine how transactions are conducted in the cannabis industry. With ZELEN Systems, we're not just participating in the market; we're leading it into a new era of technological excellence and consumer-centric solutions.

The US cannabis industry is poised for massive growth, with a projected revenue of $30 billion by 2023, and $100 billion by 2030, boasting a CAGR of 14.2%

>> USA 6th most valuable crop in 2022

>> 428,059 full-time employees

>> 1.5 million workers by 2026

>> 37 states already legalized

>> Compound annual growth rate 14.2%

>> 31,920 retail stores

>> 10,058 medical dispensaries 

>> 8,264 manufacturers

>> 28,664 cultivators

>> 2026 more jobs than manufacturing 

This growth is not just about revenue; it signals a paradigm shift in how the cannabis market is perceived and integrated into the mainstream economy. However, despite this progress and potential, the industry continues to grapple with challenges like the lack of banking support, no federal regulation, and slow legislative movements, notably the #SAFE Banking Act.  

ZELEN Systems's the "Cannabis Everything App", coupled with $ZLNC is the answer to this problem.

In the forefront of our ZELENomics initiative, is our strategic partner allocation, we have set aside 10% with an additional 9.50% in reserves of the entire $ZLNC token pool, totaling 173,333,333 tokens to strategically engage and empower a wide array of businesses within the cannabis sector. 

This allocation extends beyond traditional partnerships; it's an invitation for businesses to become an integral part of a breakthrough ecosystem designed to revolutionize industry operations not just now, but into the future post regulation and banking inclusion.

Revolutionary Business Tools and Ecosystem Integration

Our commitment goes further than mere transaction facilitation. We offer our business partners an innovative suite of tools – including the 'Cannabis Everything App'/ZELEN Wallet – engineered to significantly enhance business operations with minimal lifting on the businesses side. Think of us as the X-Team dedicated to crafting powerful, industry-leading tools that drive efficiency and growth.

This dedicated allotment of $ZLNC tokens aims to turbocharge sales, and adoption provide unmatched value to end customers, and streamline purchasing processes, both online and in-store. Central to our ecosystem is an enticing 10% rewards program, further enriching the value proposition for businesses and consumers alike.

Transformative Journey with ZELENomics

Through ZELENomics, we're not just proposing a new transactional method; we're embarking on a journey of transformation. This journey redefines the transactional framework of the cannabis industry, focusing on efficiency, connectivity, and community building. It's about creating a robust, interconnected network of businesses, all powered by the innovative capabilities of $ZLNC.

Inclusive Partnership and Community Empowerment

Our approach to partnering is all-encompassing. We're committed to collaborating with every entity within the cannabis industry, making 'inclusion' our mantra. This approach is central to our strategy of decentralization and community building. By distributing $ZLNC tokens widely, we're fostering a sense of shared ownership and collaboration, ensuring that our ecosystem is as decentralized in its participation and governance as it is in its technology.

Beyond a Utility Token: Pioneering Industry Evolution

Our allocation strategy, including airdrops, marketing, and advisory support, is key to raising awareness, penetrating the cannabis market, and positioning ZELEN as the definitive solution in this space. Partners and advisors, with a dedicated 10% allocation, are instrumental in guiding the ecosystem with their insights and strategic input.

$ZLNC: A Token of Utility, Not a Security

The allocation and use of $ZLNC strictly adhere to its role as a utility token. By focusing on providing tangible benefits and functionalities within the ZELEN ecosystem, rather than promising profits from the efforts of others, $ZLNC aligns with the criteria of the Howey Test, ensuring it operates as a utility token and not a security.

In an era where the cannabis industry grapples with significant challenges due to the lack of banking support and federal regulation, the need for a digital currency savior has never been more critical. The slow legislative progress of the #SAFE Banking Act exacerbates these challenges, leaving cannabis businesses to navigate a financial gray area. Heavily reliant on cash transactions and hindered in accessing basic banking services, the industry is in dire need of a transformative solution. Enter $ZLNC!

>>> The High Cost of Future Compliance:

When the SAFE Banking Act and federal regulations eventually pass, they are expected to classify the cannabis industry as 'high risk.' This classification will likely subject cannabis businesses to exorbitant merchant processing rates, with transaction fees ranging from 3.8% to 4.5% – a burdensome cost for an industry already navigating a complex regulatory landscape.

>>> $ZLNC: A Game-Changer for the Cannabis Industry:

In this challenging environment, $ZLNC emerges as a transformative solution. By embedding itself within the cannabis industry’s ethos, $ZLNC offers a viable alternative to traditional financial systems – one with minimal or even zero transaction fees. This innovative approach has the potential to save the industry hundreds of millions of dollars in transaction fees alone.

>>> Beyond Savings – A Path to Stability and Growth:

The introduction of $ZLNC is more than just a cost-saving measure; it represents a fundamental shift towards financial stability and sustainable growth for cannabis businesses. By circumventing the high fees associated with 'high risk' classification and offering a secure, efficient, and regulatory-compliant transaction method, $ZLNC positions itself as an indispensable asset for the industry’s future.

>>> Preparing for a Regulated Future:  

As we anticipate regulatory changes, $ZLNC stands ready to adapt and thrive in a federally regulated environment, offering a steadfast and forward-looking financial solution for the cannabis industry.

Transaction Solutions Offering a Sustainable Competitive Advantage:

Once federal regulations are passed, the cannabis industry will have access to traditional banking and merchant services, which will introduce a wave of new payment processors capable of handling debit and credit card transactions. However, these processors will charge exorbitant transaction fees, ranging from 3.75% to over 4.75% per transaction, along with an additional fee of $0.10 to $0.75 per sale due to the industry's high-risk rating.

Fortunately, Zelen (ZLNC) Technology offers a more viable solution for retailers to process retail sales without the need for a merchant account. Our rates are unmatched, providing customers and businesses with a win-win situation. 

Our technology offers a unique value proposition to the industry, especially at this crucial moment.
