Tokenomics

The design is deliberately simple: fixed supply, paid to hold. You hold ZDLT, and you are paid in wzdUSD from a real strategy, never from new ZDLT. Supply never grows, and rewards never come out of supply.

Supply

Property	Value
Total supply	1,000,000,000 ZDLT, fixed
Mint authority	Revoked (supply can never increase)
Freeze authority	Revoked (no one can lock your wallet)
Team allocation	0%
Treasury	30,000,000 ZDLT (3%), locked until $11M FDV

The mint is a fair-launched Solana SPL. There is no inflation schedule, no emissions, no vesting unlock cliff to dump on you. What exists today is what will always exist.

How rewards are funded

Holders are paid in wzdUSD. That wzdUSD comes from a real, market-neutral strategy, the Yield Engine, part of the Zirodelta Financial Engine, that captures funding on Hyperliquid while holding no bet on price direction.

Two things this is not:

• It is not funded by minting ZDLT. Rewards are paid in a dollar, not in the token, so paying holders never dilutes holders.

• It is not funded by new deposits. It is real outside yield, which is exactly why it is variable and never guaranteed, some periods pay well, some pay little, some can pay nothing.

Why the value accrual is real

When a holder asks "why should ZDLT hold value?", the answer is structural, not "because more buyers":

• Fixed supply (1B, cannot be inflated, 0% team).

• Paid to hold in an appreciating dollar (wzdUSD), more the longer and the more you hold.

• No dilution, because rewards never come from ZDLT supply.

The token that pays you to stay is worth more to a holder than a token that only asks you to hope.

Treasury and transparency

The 30M ZDLT treasury (3%) is locked until $11M fully-diluted market cap, verifiable on Solscan, and never distributes to holders as rewards (rewards are wzdUSD, from the Yield Engine). See Hard Rules.

Two commitments keep the numbers honest:

• Public proving address. The strategy runs on the founder's own capital first, on a public address you can watch, so the track record is built in the open before user funds are accepted.

• Opex transparency. Operating costs are reported so the split between what funds the reward pool and what keeps the lights on is never a black box.

Honest about scale and risk

• Early. The strategy is being proven; the deposit-and-earn flow opens to user funds only after an independent audit and a legal review.

• Variable yield. Rewards can be low or even zero. We will never publish a guaranteed APR, doing so before a track record exists would be cosplay.

• Strategy risk. Delta-neutral reduces price risk; it does not remove all risk (funding can turn negative, fees can erode yield). See Delta-Neutral Explained.

• Market price. ZDLT is a small-cap token; its price is set by the market and can fall. Holding pays you, but it does not make the price go up.

Nothing here is financial advice.
