Overview
The $ZERO ecosystem is built around a self-reinforcing cycle where MEV profits are captured, recycled, and redistributed to strengthen both the token economy and the community. This cycle is known as the $ZERO Flywheel.
At a high level:
- MEV Bots Operate: $ZERO’s MEV bots monitor Solana’s transaction flow using Jito relays and Jupiter swap routes. Profitable opportunities for sandwich transactions are identified and executed.
- Profits Captured: Every successful sandwich captures a small spread between a user’s swap and the bot’s transactions. These profits are collected into the $ZERO Treasury.
- Rewards Distributed: The treasury allocates profits back to $ZERO token holders through a transparent reward distribution mechanism.
- Treasury Growth: A portion of captured MEV is retained in the treasury to grow the foundation’s long-term reserves, ensuring sustainability even during low-MEV periods.
- Compounding Effect: As trading volume on Solana grows, MEV profits scale. This compounds the size of distributions, strengthening token value and community incentives — making the flywheel spin faster.
