FAQ

What is the difference between HEZ and PEZ?

HEZ is the native gas and security token — you pay fees with it and it is staked to secure the network. PEZ is the governance token used for voting and the treasury. See Tokens & Standards.

Is PEZ-20 a smart contract, like an ERC-20?

No. PezkuwiChain Asset Hub has no EVM or smart-contract layer. A PEZ-20 token is a runtime-native asset with an on-chain numeric ID, not a deployed contract. It behaves like an ERC-20 conceptually but is cheaper, faster, and can't be bricked by buggy contract code.

Why does USDT show "PEZ-20"?

It tells you the network the token lives on — Pezkuwi Asset Hub — exactly like "USDT TRC-20" (Tron) or "USDT ERC-20" (Ethereum). Same token, different network.

I sent tokens and they didn't arrive. What happened?

The most common causes:

  1. Wrong chain — the token was sent on a different chain than the recipient expected (e.g. relay vs Asset Hub). Balances are tracked per chain.
  2. The transaction never entered a block — e.g. submitted to a node that was not fully synced. In that case the funds were never actually spent; check the sending account on a synced node/explorer.

Always verify the chain and the full recipient address, and send a small test transfer first for large amounts.

Where do I stake / nominate?

On Asset Hub (wss://asset-hub-rpc.pezkuwichain.io). Staking moved there from the relay chain during the Asset Hub Migration (AHM). See Staking.

How do I vote on proposals?

Through the governance app at app.pezkuwichain.io, backed by the Welati governance pallet. See Governance.

Is PEX really fee-free?

PEX is run non-profit / cost-recovery: 0% maker, ~0.01% taker. Fees exist only to cover operating costs, not to make a profit.

Which libraries do I use to build on PezkuwiChain?

The sovereign @pezkuwi/* packages (the equivalent of @polkadot/*). The full reference is in the SDK docs.
