ZIP 003: Community Fund Boost for New ZTX Staking Pool on Steer Finance

ZIP Number: [ZIP-003]

Title: Community Fund Boost for New ZTX Staking Pool on Steer Finance


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 October 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:

  1. Incentivize more hodling and staking — a larger yield encourages long-term participation in the ZTX ecosystem.

  2. Return value to the community/holders — all tokens used in this boost come from the Community Fund, ensuring the rewards stay within the community.

  3. 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:

  1. 240,000,000 $ZTX tokens from the Community Fund are allocated to the upcoming 3-month-long Steer pool.

  2. Daily rewards reflect the boosted APY during the period.

  3. After 3 months, the yield reverts to the standard rate unless a new proposal extends or modifies the program.
