Same protocol. Two names.
The site says Zerith. The token in your wallet says CipherDEX with the symbol CDEX. Both are correct. Here's why, in two minutes.
What you see in your wallet
When you claim test tokens or check your balance, your wallet shows the on-chain metadata of the token contract. The contract was originally deployed under the project's previous name, and was deployed with these constants:
Why we can't just rename it.
ERC-20 token metadata — name, symbol, decimals — is set in the constructor and stored in immutable storage. There is no setName function on a standard ERC-20. That immutability is the property exchanges, wallets, and indexers rely on. Tokens that change their ticker on the fly are a phishing vector, not a feature.
We could deploy a fresh token with the symbol ZER and migrate balances — but that creates two tokens, two contract addresses, two markets, and forces every previous user to take a manual migration action. The cure is worse than the inconsistency. So we keep CDEX on-chain and use Zerith everywhere else.
What it means for you.
Nothing functional changes.
Every encrypted bid, every auction, every payment, every claim works the same. The ticker is a label.
The same contract is the same contract.
If you held CDEX before, you still hold it. No re-claim. No migration. No replay.
The pre-mainnet token will have a clean ticker.
When we deploy production-grade contracts on Arbitrum mainnet, the settlement token will launch under a final ticker. CDEX is and will remain the testnet/Sepolia token.
