# Copy guide

> Plain-language rules for anything your users read.

Zend users shouldn't need to know how money moves. Anything they read in your app, your labels and your cards should sound like messaging, not banking or crypto.

## Avoid

Sui, blockchain, chain, on-chain, crypto, token, coin, USDC, stablecoin, wallet, wallet address, address, gas, network fee, transaction, digest, signature, signing, key, seed, escrow, contract, smart contract, zkLogin, proof, explorer.

Zend rejects the main ones in your manifest's `name`, chat action labels, `description`, `developer.name`, and in card text.

## Say instead

| Instead of | Say |
| - | - |
| wallet, balance | your balance, your Zend |
| transfer | send, pay, Zend |
| escrow link, give link | link, money link |
| claim | collect |
| reclaim | take back |
| expired and returned | expired, money returned |
| escrow, contract-held | held safely until the rules say who gets it |
| sent to the creator's wallet | goes straight to {name}. Zend can't get it back. |
| share wallet address | can send money straight to you |
| sign the transaction | confirm it's you |
| transaction failed | That didn't go through. Try again. |

## Other rules

* Show amounts in Naira where you can.
* Keep labels short: chat actions up to 24 characters, buttons up to 20.
* Error `message` fields from Zend are for your logs. Show your own copy to users.
