Warning! The steps outlined may have changed since this guide was produced.

Zero Carbon Project has listed their ZeroCarbon (ZCC) tokens to be traded on IDEX. This is to allow energy suppliers to purchase ZCC to pay their transaction fees, to allow consumers to cash in their ZCC rewards and to allow people to buy and sell them for their own purposes.

This tutorial takes a user through the process of selling ZeroCarbon tokens step by step.

Step 1: Source ether from your wallet

You will need a wallet with enough ether to pay the gas costs. The gas cost is the transaction fee for using the Ethereum blockchain.

If you do not have these ready, please follow the link below on how to set up a wallet, buy ether and connect to IDEX.

Step 2: Deposit ZCCs

Ensure the IDEX market URL is https://idex.market/eth/aura and connect your wallet. If you are unsure of how to do this or if you have any issues follow the tutorial in the link above.

Once your wallet is connected scroll over “BALANCES” in the top right of the screen and select “FULL BALANCES”.

Navigate to Asset “ZCC” with Name “ZeroCarbon”. This can be done quickly by using the search bar.

Every time you want to move funds from your wallet to your IDEX wallet, you must hit “QUERY” or “QUERY ALL”. “QUERY” checks your balance of the particular asset whereas “QUERY ALL” checks your balance for all assets. Upon seeing your correct IDEX balance displayed proceed to press “DEPOSIT” in the “Actions” column.

You can now enter the amount of ZCC tokens you want to deposit on IDEX or press “Send entire balance” and it will insert the maximum tokens you are able to deposit. Then press “DEPOSIT”. If you wish you can change the Gas Price below although this is not recommended for beginners.

Step 3: Confirm Transaction

You will then be asked to confirm the transaction. Check all details carefully before pressing “CONFIRM”. With a hardware wallet (Ledger) you will have to confirm the transaction on the device as well or with Metamask a window will pop up requiring you to press confirm (pop up blockers will usually block this window so ensure to disable them beforehand).

Step 4: Check on Deposit

To check the progress of your deposit navigate to “BALANCES” and then “BALANCE HISTORY”.

Once the deposit is complete you should see the below pop up and you are now ready to trade!

Step 5: Go to ZCC Trading Page

Navigate to the ZCC exchange page, you can do this by first clicking on “TRADE” at the top of the screen.

Now select Coin “ZCC” with Name “ZeroCarbon”. This can be done quickly using the search bar as shown below.

Step 6: Place Sell Order

Once you are on the ZCC trading page find the “SELL ZCC” box. Enter the price you wish to sell the tokens for in the “Price” box. Remember that this is in ETH per token, not USD or GBP. You can then enter the number of tokens you wish to sell in the “Amount” box and then the total you will receive from selling the tokens will appear next to “Total”. Once you are happy with the order press “SELL” and your order will be sent to the market (you will have to confirm this on your wallet just as in Step 3).

If there is an open bid matching your price the tokens will be sold and ETH credited to your account instantly. If not you will have to wait until your order is accepted. You are able to see all open bids in the “BIDS” section directly below where you place your sell order.
