Governance & Treasury

Total Supply

  • Max Supply: [Insert total supply, e.g., 1,000,000,000 $ZERO]

  • Initial Circulating Supply: [Insert figure, e.g., 20% at launch]

  • Inflation: None — $ZERO has a fixed supply to preserve scarcity.


Allocation Model

  • Community & Holders: [e.g., 50%] — allocated to public distribution, liquidity, and staking incentives.

  • Foundation Treasury: [e.g., 20%] — reserved to support MEV operations, scaling infrastructure, and long-term sustainability.

  • Team & Contributors: [e.g., 15%] — vested over a multi-year schedule to align incentives.

  • Strategic Partners & Investors: [e.g., 10%] — early supporters that help bootstrap the ecosystem.

  • Liquidity & Market Making: [e.g., 5%] — to ensure smooth trading on DEXs and CEXs.

All allocations are transparent and locked via smart contracts where applicable.


Utility of $ZERO

  1. Reward Entitlement

    • Holding $ZERO makes wallets eligible for periodic MEV profit distributions.

    • Rewards are denominated in native assets like SOL or USDC, ensuring real yield.

  2. Governance Participation

    • $ZERO holders can vote on treasury policies, distribution ratios, and protocol upgrades.

    • The governance model ensures community alignment in long-term decision-making.

  3. Treasury Growth Rights

    • A share of MEV profits is retained in the treasury, indirectly increasing the value of holding $ZERO over time.

    • As the treasury grows, so does the protocol’s operational capacity.

  4. Staking Mechanics (optional)

    • In future versions, $ZERO may introduce staking modules.

    • Stakers could earn boosted rewards or governance rights in return for locking tokens.


Alignment With the Flywheel

The tokenomics are designed to reinforce the $ZERO flywheel:

  • More Holders → Stronger Community → More Liquidity

  • More Liquidity → Higher Swap Volumes → More MEV Profits

  • More Profits → Larger Rewards → Stronger Demand for $ZERO

  • More Demand → Higher Token Value → More Long-Term Resilience

This ensures that every aspect of $ZERO’s design directly strengthens the system’s compounding growth.

Now moving into Page 6: Governance & Treasury, where I’ll explain the foundation structure, decision-making, and treasury growth strategy.


Governance & Treasury

Foundation Structure

The $ZERO ecosystem is governed by a community-first foundation model. The foundation manages:

  • MEV bot infrastructure and upgrades.

  • Treasury allocations and reserve management.

  • Strategic partnerships and ecosystem growth.

This ensures that $ZERO evolves as a public good protocol rather than a private MEV operation.


Governance Model

  • Token-Weighted Voting: $ZERO holders can vote on key proposals, such as:

    • Reward distribution percentages.

    • Treasury reserve ratios.

    • Future integrations (e.g., new MEV strategies).

  • DAO Treasury Oversight: All treasury transactions are on-chain and visible. Governance decisions determine how reserves are deployed.

  • Proposal Lifecycle:

    1. Draft submitted by community or team.

    2. Discussion period on governance forum.

    3. On-chain vote by $ZERO holders.

    4. Execution if quorum is met.


Treasury Growth Strategy

The Treasury is designed to grow in parallel with MEV profits, acting as the backbone of the ecosystem:

  1. Reserves

    • A percentage of MEV profits are retained instead of distributed.

    • Ensures stability during low-MEV market conditions.

  2. Infrastructure Funding

    • Treasury funds upgrades to bot infrastructure, validator access, and developer grants.

  3. Strategic Expansion

    • Treasury reserves may be deployed into Solana-native projects, liquidity provisioning, or staking partnerships.

    • Expands protocol influence while compounding value.


Long-Term Vision

Over time, the Treasury transitions into a self-sustaining pool of capital:

  • Continuously refueled by MEV profits.

  • Governed by the community.

  • Large enough to scale $ZERO beyond its initial strategy into new opportunities in Solana and DeFi.
