ZTCK Token & Tokenomics
ZTCK is the native utility token of ZeroTick, a cross-chain platform for fair token discovery, launches, and trading with built-in protections against bots, whales, and insiders.
ZTCK is a utility token. It is not a security, not a dividend token, not an investment contract, and not a claim on company profits or revenues. It is a functional access token designed to:
Boost trader loyalty rewards: loyalty rewards on your own trading fees, scaled by ZTCK holdings and trading volume
Unlock premium features: access to advanced platform features as they become available
ZTCK does not grant, under any circumstances, ownership rights, equity, dividends, profit-sharing rights, governance rights, voting rights, or any claim on ZeroTick's revenues, profits, or assets. Holding ZTCK entitles you only to the platform utilities described on this page. ZTCK is used exclusively to access and enhance ZeroTick services.
Token Status
The ZTCK token is not yet live. The token launch will be announced exclusively through official ZeroTick channels. If anyone claims the ZTCK token is already available for purchase, this is not true. Do not send funds to anyone claiming to sell ZTCK tokens.
Design Principles
Utility first: ZTCK is used to access platform features and boost loyalty-style benefits (loyalty rewards), not as a speculative instrument.
Reward usage, not just holding: Traders and creators are rewarded for activity (trading volume, successful launches), not for passively holding tokens.
Aligned with fair launches: ZTCK utilities support ZeroTick's fairness mission, with transparent rules and built-in protections on every launch.
Clear, predictable tokenomics: Supply, allocation, and unlock schedules are transparent and time-bound. No stealth unlocks, no surprise emissions.
ZTCK Utility
ZTCK has two core utilities inside the ZeroTick ecosystem. There is no governance utility, no fee sharing, and no yield mechanism, neither current nor planned.
1. Trader Loyalty Rewards
ZeroTick offers a loyalty rewards program for active traders. Traders receive a percentage refund on the trading fees they personally incur, based solely on their own trading activity and ZTCK holdings. Every trader can receive up to a 40% loyalty reward on the fees they personally pay, with the maximum percentage determined by their average ZTCK holdings and trading volume during the rewards period.

You must meet both the ZTCK holding threshold and the minimum trading volume to qualify for a tier. The 30-day average is a time-weighted ZTCK balance over the epoch, preventing last-minute snapshot gaming.
How It Works
Trade and pay base fees: Every trade is charged a base platform fee (1.75% for bonding curve trades, 1% for DEX/migrated token trades). No instant discounts; everyone pays the same base fee at execution.
Accrue your reward: Over each rewards period (30 days), ZeroTick tracks the total fees you paid, your total trading volume, and your average ZTCK balance. At the end of the period, your average balance and trading volume together determine your tier. The protocol calculates your maximum reward as:
tier_percentage × total_fees_paid_by_you.Claim in USDC (60-Day Expiry): Your loyalty reward becomes claimable in USDC (or chain-native stablecoin) from the Rewards page after the period ends. Unclaimed rewards expire 60 days after the period ends, so claim them within this window or they are forfeited.
This is a loyalty rewards program. You receive a benefit on your own usage, boosted by ZTCK holdings and active trading. You are not receiving a pro-rata share of protocol revenue. Holding ZTCK alone without trading produces zero reward.
2. Future Premium Utility
Additional ZTCK utility features are planned for future phases. As new platform capabilities launch, ZTCK holders will gain early or enhanced access. Details will be announced through official ZeroTick channels as each feature enters development.

There is no separate ZTCK incentives pool. Trader loyalty rewards and creator rewards are paid in USDC or chain-native assets, funded from protocol fees and treasury, not from additional ZTCK emissions.

Vesting & Release Schedule
The vesting schedule is designed to avoid sudden destabilising unlocks, keep team and investors aligned over several years, and ensure community and ecosystem allocations can support long-term growth.
Community: 30% (300M)
25% (75M) unlocked at TGE for early community campaigns and initial airdrops
Remaining 225M released bi-monthly (every 2 months) over 24 months, 12 equal releases of 18.75M each
This pool funds community campaigns, incentives, and targeted airdrops to drive continuous community growth
Ecosystem & Project Development: 34% (340M)
25% (85M) unlocked at TGE for audits, security, infrastructure, operations, and initial partnerships
Remaining 255M released monthly over 36 months (~7.08M per month)
This pool funds grants, ecosystem projects, DeFi integrations, liquidity support, marketing, and long-term expansion
Investors & Advisors: 13% (130M)
Cliff: no tokens for the first 6 months after TGE
Vesting: monthly linear over the following 36 months (~3.61M per month)
Total horizon: 3.5 years
This ensures early backers are committed long-term rather than incentivised to exit immediately.
Team: 18% (180M)
TGE unlock: 20% (36M) released at TGE
Cliff: remaining 80% (144M) locked for the first 12 months after TGE
Vesting: linear over the following 36 months (~4M per month)
Total horizon: 4 years
The team receives a partial TGE unlock to reward early contributions, with the majority locked under a standard cliff and multi-year vesting schedule aligned with the long-term success of ZeroTick.
Liquidity Provision: 5% (50M)
Used to seed initial and cross-chain liquidity, CEX listings, and to support trading
Liquidity operations may be subject to lockups, multisig controls, or on-chain policies to increase transparency and user confidence
