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.

  • Z-Score Mechanism: Trading activity is measured via Z-Score, which forms the foundation of base incentives.
  • Fair Adjustments: OG and Season 1 Boosts, minimum/maximum criteria, and platform activity requirements ensure sybil resistance and prevent professional farmers from gaining disproportionate rewards.

Airdrop Bonuses

Two additional mechanisms are in place to reward long-term commitment to the Zeta Protocol:

  1. 7-Day Bonus:

    • Unlocks a portion of the user’s allocation linearly over seven days.
    • Encourages patience and long-term participation.
  2. Staking Airdrop:

    • Rewards $ZEX stakers for their commitment to protocol governance.

Trading Rewards

  • The snapshot for the initial airdrop of $ZEX was taken on June 7, 2024, at 00:00 UTC.
  • All Z-Score earned since the snapshot contributes to Epoch 1 of the Trading Rewards Program.
  • 8 million $ZEX in rewards are available for traders participating in this program.
