Gm Zappers! We are excited to officially share additional details around $ZAP staking—and Vault staking! Read on for a full deep dive into key benefits and what you can expect.

⚡ Stake $ZAP, Get Rewarded

Staking $ZAP entitles users to an array of benefits and rewards across the ZAP ecosystem. The first, and primary, benefit of having $ZAP staked is the passive yield, proportional to the amount staked in their chosen tier. This yield is generated from the community treasury, which is vested over 4 years.

Additional benefits include more passive yields from ecosystem activity and proactive utility from interacting with ZAP and selected partner platforms.

The ZAP Staking program is designed to incentivise and reward ZAP token holders for on-chain activity, promoting growth across the broader web3 ecosystem. Users do not have to pick which area aligns more closely to their interests or objectives, or split their $ZAP across different staking options to maximise earning potential.

One simple staking option provides exposure and upside across the entire ZAP ecosystem! 👇

🥩 Passive Staking Rewards

• Passive Earnings: Stake $ZAP tokens to earn consistent monthly emissions of $ZAP from the community treasury.

• External Protocol Earnings: Exposure to all ZAP Labs projects including VC-backed projects and incubated projects through an airdrop of each token launched.

• Memecoin Upside (Coming Soon): Stakers will be able to share a small amount of the supply of each memecoin launched on ZAP (1-2%) that will either be claimable on a time lock or when the token graduates to the DEX.

✔️ Proactive Utility Rewards

• Stake-to-Earn Missions (Coming Soon): Whilst any user can access missions on ZAP DROPS to explore web3 projects and earn in exchange for their attention and time, only staked $ZAP users will have access to exclusive missions that come with their own benefits such as exclusive reward allocation.

• XP Multipliers (Coming Soon): Staking on ZAP also unlocks reward multipliers when completing missions on DROPS. As staked users complete missions they will earn multipliers on all XP earned across the ZAP DROPS platform.

🤝 Perks & Benefits

• Preferential Prices: Staked $ZAP users will have access to exclusive private sale offerings at preferential prices to Public Sales.

• No Dilution: Token Sales on ZAP can oversubscribe meaning users who have bought tokens will get diluted. Staking $ZAP will mean that you get protections around a portion of your purchased tokens, preventing them from being diluted.

🔓 Vaults

ZAP Vault holders are a cornerstone of the ecosystem. ZAP Vaults provide their holders an array of perks when staked.

• Frontrun Rewards: Earn APY on your future token emissions whilst staked in any of the ZAP staking pools.

• Multipliers: Earn an APY multiplier on already emitted tokens if you bought your vault pre TGE for an even higher APY.

• Soulbound NFT: Vault Holders will receive a Soulbound NFT assigned to the wallet associated with their Vaults. This NFT will have future utility baked into it over time, providing ZAP Vault holders with exclusive perks and benefits.

• ZAP Vault holders have a high customer lifetime value, and therefore it’s attractive for our partners to market to them directly. We’ll be scheduling vault exclusive airdrops, including 10% of the CTZN NFT for Vault stakers.

🧮 $ZAP Staking APY Calculation

Base APY

Our Base APY pool emits 12,950 $ZAP daily to stakers. Your share of the Base APY pool is calculated via the following formula:

Your # of tokens staked / Total number of tokens staked) * 12,950

If you are a Vault staker, all your (even unvested) tokens are staked and factored into the above calculation.

Vault APY

Vault stakers also receive a bonus multiplier based on the duration of staking. This bonus multiplier only applies to currently vested tokens at the point of staking your Vault. Bonus tokens emissions are paid out from a separate pool.

Your APY

Your APY is a combination of Base APY and Vault APY (only for Vault stakers) and calculated via the following formula:

((Your # of tokens staked + Your token rewards) / Your # of tokens staked) - 1

Note: APY is variable and depends on how many tokens overall are staked and receive rewards.
