# How ZeroCoder Works

### **How ZeroCoder Works — Step-by-Step Agent Creation & Deployment**

1. **Create Your Agent**

* Open the **ZeroCoder Visual Builder**
* Drag & Drop logic blocks to define your agent’s behavior (e.g., price triggers, actions, thresholds)
* Test your logic with the built-in simulator<br>

2. **Deploy On-Chain**

* Select your preferred blockchain (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, etc.)
* ZeroCoder compiles your logic into a secure, modular smart contract
* Deploy using your wallet — ownership remains with you<br>

3. **Manage & Monitor**

* Access your **Agent Dashboard**
* Pause, update, or track real-time performance
* View logs, success rates, and execution history<br>

4. **Monetize via the Marketplace**

* List your agent on the **ZeroCoder Marketplace**
* Choose your monetization model (subscription, usage-based, license)
* Earn $ZCOD rewards based on agent usage and performance<br>

5. **Participate in Governance**

* Stake $ZCOD for voting rights
* Influence platform upgrades, incentive pools, and community initiatives

> In ZeroCoder’s ecosystem, **you are both the creator and the owner** — with full control over deployment, updates, and revenue.
