Token Overview
Overview of Zap Pilot's $ZAP tokenomics: fixed supply, buyback model, Zap Score airdrops, and partner vesting.
⚙️ 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.
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
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)

🔐 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).
