So @zama has officially mentioned $ZAMA. It’s getting very close. $ZAMA is used for protocol fees and staking. It follows a burn-and-mint model, where 100% of fees are burned, and new tokens are minted to reward network operators. • Users pay fees to keep their transactions private (fees are burned). • Network operators earn newly minted $ZAMA. User fees include: • Encrypting transaction data: $0.005 – $0.50 • Secure balance reads: $0.001 – $0.10 • Cross-chain private asset transfers: $0.01 – $1 Heavy users can get major discounts (up to 100× cheaper). Fees stay stable in USD even if token price fluctuates, making it easier for developers to predict costs. How operators get rewarded: The protocol uses Delegated Proof-of-Stake, starting with 18 operators (13 KMS nodes and 5 FHE Coprocessors, increasing over time). • Coprocessors earn more but are more expensive to run. • KMS nodes earn less but cost less. Token holders can delegate their stake to secure the network.
