The principals behind the $ZEX airdrop

Zeta's Airdrop Principles

The $ZEX airdrop is designed to reward genuine users of the protocol, with additional incentives for those who demonstrate a long-term commitment to the protocol.

Z-Score has been the foundation for measuring trading activity and allocating base incentives. Further adjustments such as OG and Season 1 Boosts, Min & Max Criteria & Platform activity have been implemented to reward authentic usage patterns and help ensure that sybils and professional farmers are not disproportionately rewarded.

Airdrop Bonuses

Two additional mechanisms have been designed to reward users who are aligned with the Zeta Protocol for the long term:

The 7-Day Bonus

The 7-Day Bonus unlocks a portion of the user's allocation linearly over seven days, rewarding patience and long-term behaviour.

The Staking Airdrop

The Staking Airdrop is designed to reward $ZEX stakers for their commitment to protocol governance.

Trading Rewards

The snapshot for the initial airdrop of $ZEX was taken on 7th June at 00:00 UTC.

All Z-Score earned since then has contributed to the first epoch of our Trading Rewards program, with 8M $ZEX in rewards up for grabs.
