@zama finally confirmed their token launch for Q4 2025, but what really caught my attention wasn’t the TGE, it’s the logic behind their revenue and reward model. Most networks pretend to reward contributors. Zama actually does. Their blockchain protocol lets apps issue and move assets privately on top of existing chains, and the $ZAMA token sits at the center of all activity: it’s used for fees, staking, and governance. But the clever part is how fees flow. Instead of charging for FHE compute, the protocol only takes a protocol fee, all paid in $ZAMA. Users don’t even have to touch the token; everything starts in USD and the dApp quietly converts it into $ZAMA in the background at whatever the market rate is. Then comes my favorite piece: 100% of those protocol fees get burned. After that, new tokens are minted and distributed to node operators based on the network’s inflation schedule. It’s a burn-and-mint loop that actually rewards the people doing the work. Coprocessors and KMS nodes both get their fair share based on what they contribute. And here’s the kicker: as more chains and applications adopt Zama’s tech, every single transaction will require an automatic buy of $ZAMA to pay the fees. That’s built-in demand. Part of those fees then flow back to operators, giving them even more reason to stake and secure the system. Honestly, the incentives line up in a really clean way. If the ecosystem grows, $ZAMA feels extremely well positioned.
