Token Overview
Overview of Zap Pilot's $ZAP tokenomics: fixed supply, buyback model, Zap Score airdrops, and partner vesting.
โ๏ธ Zap Pilot Tokenomics (v2 โ 2025)
๐ฏ Overview
Zap Pilot is a multi-chain DeFi frontend aggregator that helps users zap stablecoins into optimal farming pools across chains via ERC-4337 AA wallets (powered by ZeroDev). The $ZAP token uses a buyback-based token economy: no staking, no passive rewards, no empty emissionsโjust value aligned with actual protocol usage.

Automated or manual buybacks on DEXs (e.g., Uniswap)
Token Handling
Burned or redirected to DAO treasury
Transparency

Score Tracking
Notion / Airtable / Firebase

LPs & Launchpads

๐ Launchpad & Partner Vesting
Tokens allocated to launchpads or advisors follow a 6-month cliff + 12-month linear vesting schedule.
For example, if a launchpad receives 2,000,000 $ZAP:
Months 1โ6: 0% unlocked
Month 7 onward: unlocks 1/12 per month (โ166,666 tokens per month)
Fully unlocked after month 18
Vesting schedules are flexible and negotiated based on actual value contributed (e.g. marketing push, liquidity support, advisory work).
