Title: Community Fund Boost for New ZTX Staking Pool on Steer Finance
Proposal Date: September 12, 2025
Summary
This proposal aims to allocate 2.4% of the token supply from the Community Fund to enhance the new ZTX Steer yield pool over a three-month period, starting once the current pool ends on Oct 1, 2025 UTC. With this additional boost, the effective yield would increase approximately fourfold, providing a significantly stronger staking incentive for the community.

Rationale
An estimated 4x rewards boost provides a strong incentive, driving higher participation and improving token retention within the ZTX ecosystem.
The goal of ZIP-003 is to:
-
Incentivize more hodling and staking — a larger yield encourages long-term participation in the ZTX ecosystem.
-
Return value to the community/holders — all tokens used in this boost come from the Community Fund, ensuring the rewards stay within the community.
-
Drive adoption of the new Steer pool — by offering a significant yield boost, we make the new pool more compelling for both existing and new participants.
Proposal
Allocate a total budget of 240,000,000 $ZTX Tokens from the ZTX Community Fund to add as additional rewards for $ZTX stakers in the upcoming 3-month ZTX Staking Pool on Steer.
Implementation
Governance initiates the process for the ZIP-003 feedback and vote. If it gets officially approved via Snapshot:
-
240,000,000 $ZTX tokens from the Community Fund are allocated to the upcoming 3-month-long Steer pool.
-
Daily rewards reflect the boosted APY during the period.
-
After 3 months, the yield reverts to the standard rate unless a new proposal extends or modifies the program.
