Zenon Network, the Network of Momentum (NoM), serialises transactions into raw byte streams which are then digested via SHA3-256 to produce a signing message hash. In the case of the Zenon Ledger App, serialised transactions are first sent via APDU as the CData, then deserialised for validation and user approval before construction and signing of the message hash. The sections below provide a brief overview of how transactions and their associated values are constructed; for more in-depth information, please visit Zenon's website.
The Network of Momentum has a dual-coin architecture which consists of two coins: $ZNN and $QSR. ZNN and QSR are both part of the Zenon Token Standard (ZTS), which is a programmable token standard. Both coins have a precision of 8 decimals. Zenon transaction make use of raw 256 bit currency values obtained by multiplying the amount by 10^8 as exampled in the table below.
| Amount | ZNN | QSR | ZTS |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.00000001 | 0.00000001 | 1 |
| 100000000 | 1 | 1 | 100000000 |
| 999999999 | 9.99999999 | 9.99999999 | 999999999 |
The decimals precision and symbol of ZTS tokens is programmable. The token information is currently not available in the Zenon Ledger App. Therefore the raw amount and the ZTS symbol is displayed when signing a transaction containing a ZTS token.
Zenon addresses are Bech32 encoded with human readable part z, identifiers are derived from the first 19 bytes of the SHA3-256 hash of the Ed25519 public key and are prefixed with a user account 0x00 or an embedded contract 0x01 byte.

Deterministic signature scheme EdDSA is used to sign a transaction on the Curve25519 curve using SHA-512. A Zenon transaction is signed by constructing a SHA3-256 hash of the serialized transaction sha3-256(serialized_tx); this hash is subsequently signed producing a 64-byte signature.
Zenon Token Standard or short ZTS is a specification for creating tokens. ZTS tokens are native to the protocol level. ZTS tokens inherit the feeless properties of ZNN and QSR: transferring tokens instantly without fees.
