💰Tokenomics — $ZRX

Utility

• Stake to deploy or operate agents

Running an agent requires a $ZRX stake, which acts as both a security bond and a commitment layer. This ensures that agents executing high-value logic are economically accountable.

• Vote on DAO proposals

$ZRX holders determine the protocol’s evolution — from strategy weightings to module registry updates. Governance affects what agents prioritize and how the network behaves.

• Unlock premium or restricted modules

Certain advanced plug-ins, high-frequency agents, or ecosystem-specific tools may require $ZRX to access. This creates gated utility without relying on off-chain permissions.

• Earn for contributions

Community members can earn $ZRX by submitting new strategies, contributing to sensing datasets, building plug-ins, or participating in governance processes. Contribution earns equity in the system.
