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
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.
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.
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.
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:
Draft submitted by community or team.
Discussion period on governance forum.
On-chain vote by $ZERO holders.
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:
Reserves
A percentage of MEV profits are retained instead of distributed.
Ensures stability during low-MEV market conditions.
Infrastructure Funding
Treasury funds upgrades to bot infrastructure, validator access, and developer grants.
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.
