# Token Overview

## ⚙️ Zap Pilot Tokenomics (v2 – 2025)

### 🎯 Overview

Zap Pilot is an **on-chain portfolio autopilot.**

For busy DeFi users, Zap Pilot cuts portfolio rebalancing from 30 min to 30 sec — moving your crypto across chains into higher-yield pools with one click, while every token stays in your own wallet.  

The $ZAP token uses a buyback-based token economy: no staking, no passive rewards, no empty emissions — just value aligned with actual protocol usage.

### 💡 Utility & Design Philosophy

No staking, no protocol-controlled yield.\
Instead:

> 🌀 **Every fee collected → used to buy $ZAP from the market → price support via real usage.**

| Utility                   | Description                                                  |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Price Support**         | Protocol fees are used to buy $ZAP via Uniswap or other DEXs |
| **User Incentives**       | Distributed via retroactive airdrops based on Zap Score      |
| **Governance (optional)** | $ZAP may be used for future DAO voting or proposal rights    |

### 🔁 Buyback Mechanism

| Component       | Implementation                                          |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Source of Funds | Protocol-level zap-in fees (ETH / USDC)                 |
| Execution       | Automated or manual buybacks on DEXs (e.g., Uniswap)    |
| Token Handling  | Burned or redirected to DAO treasury                    |
| Transparency    | Weekly public reporting of buyback volume (optional UI) |

### 📊 Token Allocation

| Category                     | % Allocation | Notes                                                   |
| ---------------------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **User Airdrop (Zap Score)** | 40%          | Based on usage, referrals, social engagement            |
| **Team**                     | 20%          | 1-year cliff + 2-year linear vesting                    |
| **Partners & Advisors**      | 10%          | Includes incubators (1–2%), launchpads (1–2%), KOL pool |
| **DAO Treasury**             | 20%          | Buybacks, incentive campaigns, governance               |
| **Liquidity Bootstrapping**  | 10%          | Uniswap/Aerodrome LP seeding                            |

> 🔒 Partner/Advisor tokens are **vested based on contribution type**, generally using a **6-month cliff + 12-month linear unlock**, but flexible per case.

### 🧮 Zap Score-Based Airdrop

| Metric            | Weight Example |
| ----------------- | -------------- |
| Zap-in Volume     | 40%            |
| Zap-in Frequency  | 40%            |
| Referrals         | 10%            |
| Community Actions | 10%            |

Zap Score is off-chain, tracked via backend, Notion or Sheets.\
Airdrop distribution is staged, and partially locked to prevent instant dumping.

### 🔌 Tech Stack Overview

| Function             | Tool/Provider                              |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| AA Wallet Infra      | **ZeroDev** (ERC-4337 Bundler + Paymaster) |
| Token Infrastructure | **ThirdWeb** + LayerZero (OFT)             |
| Buyback Script       | Node.js + Uniswap SDK or custom relayer    |
| Score Tracking       | Notion / Airtable / Firebase               |
| Airdrop Tools        | ThirdWeb SDK / Galxe / Airdrop.so          |
| LPs & Launchpads     | Uniswap / Aerodrome / Partnered IDO        |

***

### 🔐 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 1–6: **0% unlocked**
* Month 7 onward: unlocks **1/12 per month** (≈166,666 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).
