Staking $ZEX and the Staking Airdrop

The staking airdrop (2% of supply) rewards token holders that indicate their commitment to Zeta’s long-term success and governance by staking their tokens within the first epoch (28 days) after TGE.

Staking Airdrop

The staking airdrop will be allocated in proportion to a user’s average governance score, gZEX, over the epoch. The longer a user commits to staking their tokens and the more tokens they lock, the larger their gZEX will be.

gZEX

gZEX is a governance score allocated to a user based on their staking activity. Principally the more tokens a user stakes and the longer a user stakes their tokens for the higher their governance score will be. It is calculated using the following formula:

$usersgZEX = (tokensLocked)*(daysRemaining/1460)^{1.5}$

Why Staking?

In the short term, staking helps establish our governance mechanisms and aligns key users with the protocol by rewarding their governance participation with boosted incentives. Governance will play an increasingly important role in Zeta’s roadmap as we migrate to Zeta X and transition to our own Layer2, which will introduce additional parameters requiring governance, such as transaction fees and validator rewards, in addition to existing elements such as market listings and incentive emissions.
