DoubleZero (2Z)

Tokenomics & Utility

What 2Z does

The 2Z token connects network use with contributor rewards. Users can pay for access to DoubleZero resources in 2Z. Some payments made in another supported blockchain’s native token can be converted into 2Z within the protocol’s payment flow. Contributors receive 2Z for supplying network capacity and services, while resource providers can receive it for computational and security work. Staking is part of the protocol’s participation model; broader delegation by token holders is described in its economic plans. (sec.gov)

DoubleZero created 10 billion 2Z at launch. Its published launch allocation assigned 29% to the Foundation and ecosystem, 28% to Jump Crypto, 14% to Malbec Labs, 10% to the team, and 12% to institutions. The remaining 7% was divided among contributors, builders, and validators. Most team and institutional allocations followed a gradual four-year unlocking schedule from launch. These are launch allocations, rather than a snapshot of who holds tokens at any later date. (doublezero.xyz)

The launch supply is also different from a permanent fixed-supply limit. The protocol describes new token issuance to support computation and security, alongside token burns built into its reward system. For example, burning part of network-related payments helps discourage contributors from creating artificial traffic to increase their rewards. The balance between issuance and burning is therefore part of the network’s ongoing economic design. (doublezero.xyz)
