Tokenómica de ZIGCOIN (ZIG)

ZIGChain is a Layer 1 blockchain built using the Cosmos SDK, specifically designed to democratize wealth generation through its modular technology stack. The native utility token of the ecosystem is ZIG, which serves as the central pillar for network security, governance, and financial utility.

Issuance Mechanism

ZIGChain utilizes a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism based on the Tendermint Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) framework. The issuance of ZIG tokens is regulated through the Mint module, which manages controlled inflation and supply management to ensure long-term sustainability.

New tokens are issued as block rewards to incentivize validators and delegators for securing the network. The total supply of ZIG on the mainnet is capped at 2,500,000,000 tokens.

Allocation Mechanism

The distribution of ZIG tokens is divided among several key stakeholder groups to balance ecosystem growth, community rewards, and founder incentives. As of the mainnet launch, the allocation is structured as follows:

The circulating supply on the mainnet initially consists of approximately 1,726,440,444 ZIG (69.06%), primarily composed of the community allocation and portions of the ecosystem and reward funds.

Usage and Incentive Mechanism

The ZIG token is integrated into the core functionality of the blockchain through several primary use cases:

• Staking and Security: Users delegate ZIG to validators to secure the network. In return, they earn a portion of block rewards and transaction fees.
• Governance: ZIG holders participate in decentralized decision-making. Each ZIG token represents one vote, allowing holders to vote on protocol parameters, fee structures, and treasury expenditures.
• Gas Fees: A small fee, known as the Gas Fee, is paid in ZIG for every transaction processed on the network.
• Wealth Management Engine: This is a ZIGChain-specific module that tokenizes investment strategies. ZIG acts as the native currency for these DeFi activities, including providing liquidity and collateral for lending or borrowing.
• Validator Incentives: Validators earn rewards from transaction fees and inflationary block rewards. They are also subject to the Slashing module, which penalizes misconduct such as double-signing or downtime to ensure network integrity.

Locking Mechanism and Unlocking Time

Several major allocations are subject to specific lock-up and vesting schedules to ensure long-term alignment with the project's success. These include:

• Founders Tokens: 445,000,000 ZIG are subject to lock-ups and vesting.
• ZIGChain Foundation/Reserves: 100,000,000 ZIG are subject to lock-ups.
• Stake Subsidies: 187,500,000 ZIG are released according to the emission schedule as economic conditions are met.

While specific monthly unlock dates for every category were not detailed in the provided records, the project utilizes a structured Emissions Schedule to manage the release of these locked tokens. Additionally, the staking mechanism involves a locking process where tokens are bonded to validators; while the specific unbonding period duration was not explicitly stated, it is a standard feature of the Cosmos-based staking module used by ZIGChain.
