The ZIG Token
TL;DR: ZIG is the native utility token of ZIGChain. It secures the network, pays gas, funds governance, collects module fees, and supports DeFi. This page lists utilities, exchange support by network, and mainnet supply tables.
Overviewâ
The ZIG token is the native asset of the ZIGChain ecosystem. You use it to stake, pay fees, vote on upgrades, and interact with on-chain modules. The token links security, economics, and apps on one chain.
This page explains what the ZIG token does on the network. It also lists public venues that list ZIG by chain type. It shows how mainnet supply is split in the tables below.
For chain background see ZIGChain - What and Why? and About ZIGChain. For send fees see Gas Fees on ZIGChain. For wallets and addresses see ZIGChain Accounts. For shared terms see ZIGChain Glossary.
Key Conceptsâ
- ZIG token: The native unit of account and gas on ZIGChain, used for fees, staking, governance, and DeFi when the protocol requires the native coin.
- Native utility token: The chain primary asset that secures the network and pays for resource use, distinct from bridged forms on other networks.
- ModFee (module fees): Fees from Token Factory, Exchange, and Wealth Management modules. Consensus may route them to buyback and burn or to ecosystem programs.
- Circulating supply: The portion of mainnet ZIG labeled as circulating in the supply tables, separate from locked founder, foundation, and subsidy buckets.
Tokenomics and Utilitiesâ
The ZIG token anchors the chain economic model. Several utilities drive growth and long-term use. Each utility below maps to a role validators, users, or apps play on ZIGChain.
Blockchain Consensusâ
đĄī¸ Validators and delegators bond the ZIG token to secure blocks and earn rewards.
- Secure the network by running a validator and attracting stake to your validator
- Earn rewards for validating transactions and share with those who have delegated to your validator
Transaction Feesâ
đ° Every state change on chain can debit ZIG for gas.
- Gas fees power network operations and smart contract executions
Governanceâ
đŗī¸ Staked ZIG backs votes on upgrades and params.
- Proposal creation for new features or protocol changes
- Voting rights in blockchain upgrades
ModFee Module Feesâ
đ Module use can charge fees in ZIG.
- Fees from usage of blockchain modules - Token Factory, Exchange Module and Wealth Management Module
- Fees are, subject to consensus, applied either towards Buyback and burn or reinvested into the ecosystem development and user incentives
Native DeFi Assetâ
đŧ DeFi apps on ZIGChain treat ZIG as the base asset.
- Native currency for DeFi activities, such as liquidity provision, collateral for lending/borrowing, and protocol rewards
Supported Exchangesâ
Many venues list the ZIG token on one or more networks. The matrix below marks support on ZIGChain, Ethereum (ERC-20), or BSC (BEP-20). Always confirm deposit networks on the venue before you send funds.
Some rows show native chain support. Others list bridged forms only. A blank or â cell means that network is not listed for that venue in our records. Re-check the exchange site before you move size.
Use the table when you plan deposits, arbitrage, or treasury moves. Match the token type to your wallet. Wrong-network sends can lead to lost funds or long support tickets.

ZIG Token Distributionâ
Mainnet caps the ZIG token at 2,500,000,000 ZIG. Every table in this section uses that fixed total. All shares and counts below refer to mainnet only.
You can read supply in three views in this section. Allocations show how tokens are split across community, founders, the foundation, subsidies, and reserves. Total supply and circulating supply tables show what trades now, what was burnt, and what stays locked.
The tables list exact amounts and percentages. The allocation and emissions charts show the same data in visual form.
