Introduction

What is $ZERO?

$ZERO is a community-driven foundation that transforms Solana’s MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) into a reward engine for token holders. Instead of letting MEV profits flow only to validators and private bots, $ZERO democratizes this hidden stream of value. By capturing MEV profits through advanced sandwiching strategies in the Jito and Jupiter ecosystems, $ZERO recycles these earnings back into its flywheel economy — rewarding holders, strengthening the treasury, and fueling long-term sustainability.

Why $ZERO Exists

The Solana ecosystem is fast, efficient, and increasingly the home of decentralized trading. However, as trading volume grows, so do opportunities for MEV extraction. Today, most MEV profits are captured privately, leaving regular participants with nothing. $ZERO changes this dynamic by:

• Making MEV public good: Profits are routed back to the community rather than private actors.

• Creating a yield source: Every profitable trade strengthens the flywheel that rewards $ZERO holders.

• Establishing a foundation: Long-term, $ZERO is designed as a self-sustaining protocol treasury that funds both rewards and future growth.

Why Solana, Why Now

• Throughput: Solana’s high-speed architecture supports the rapid transaction execution required for sandwiching and MEV strategies.

• Jito Infrastructure: With Jito’s validator network and specialized relays, Solana provides a unique entry point for transparent and fair MEV extraction.

• Ecosystem Maturity: As DEX liquidity deepens on platforms like Jupiter, profitable MEV opportunities scale with user activity.

• Community Demand: Retail users want access to yield streams previously reserved for insiders. $ZERO is the bridge.

Core Vision

The long-term vision of $ZERO is simple:

• Capture MEV → Distribute Rewards → Strengthen Treasury → Scale Flywheel

Each cycle compounds on the last, ensuring that as Solana grows, so too does the strength and sustainability of the $ZERO economy.
