Economy overview
A map of Sponsor funding, contribution, backing, revenue, and release boundaries in ZYNC.
ZYNC’s economy connects Sponsor demand, community action, Member rewards, and contribution standing while keeping each promise distinct.
There are four main lanes:
- Sponsor-funded rewards pay for qualifying campaign outcomes.
- Points recognize progress and participation.
- Credits carry cash-backed, withdrawable value.
- ZYNC carries network contribution, governance, and backing utility.
An optional Community Coin is a fifth, contained rail chosen by a Space. Same-Space Points may derive early purchase allowance, but Points remain intact and stablecoin pays for the coin. A Community Coin is not ZYNC and carries no promised utility or return. See Community Launches.
Sponsor campaign rewards are not paid in ZYNC by default. ZYNC is not sold through membership, and membership cannot strengthen ZYNC earning.
The cycle
Sponsors fund clear outcomes and flat fees. Communities design and operate Missions. Members complete verified actions and receive the published reward. Trustworthy evidence makes further Sponsor demand easier. Qualifying contribution can also earn ZYNC under separate emission rules.
Held ZYNC has product utility through backing: Members can support Spaces, helping steer community reward support and a separate Backed by the community discovery lane. Backing never steers ZYNC emission and never pays cash to the holder.
Any transferable release context is a separate governed decision. After release, a vested balance may move between holders, but contribution history and earned standing do not move with it. These docs do not state a market value or forecast one.
