Note: The transaction will occur in multiple stages, including:

* Swap: Swapping ETH tokens to ZCN-ERC.
* Increase Allowance: A higher allowance or gas limit usually indicates that the transaction will require more processing and be prioritized.
* Burn: Burning (destroying) a certain amount of the currency each time it is traded.
* Mint: Minting (creating) new units of the currency to replace the ones that were burned.

Note: You will need to confirm transactions on Metamask at each stage.
