# Utility

ZDLT is your access to the Zirodelta Financial Engine, and the main thing holding it does is **pay you**. Everything else layers on top of that.

***

## 1. Get paid in wzdUSD (the core utility)

While you hold ZDLT in [Zidee](/zidee-wallet/overview.md), you are paid rewards in [wzdUSD](/zdlt-token/wzdusd.md), a dollar that grows. You are never paid in ZDLT, so holding is never diluted to pay holders. The reward is funded by a real strategy, the [Yield Engine](/the-zirodelta-financial-engine/overview.md), part of the Zirodelta Financial Engine, and it is variable, never guaranteed.

This is the whole point of the token: you do not have to trade, time, or babysit anything. You hold, and you are paid for holding.

## 2. Tiers are reward multipliers

How much you are paid scales with **how much** ZDLT you hold and **how long** you hold it. Your balance places you on a tier ladder, and staying compounds your position. Tiers are reward multipliers, not trading limits, the higher your tier, the larger your share of the wzdUSD reward pool. See the [Tiers](/zidee-wallet/tiers.md) doc for the ladder and how to climb it.

Selling resets you. Staying grows you. That is the game.

## 3. Discord tier access

Verified ZDLT holders get gated access to the Zirodelta Discord based on balance. Six tiers, each layered on the one below, synced from your on-chain balance by Zirodelta's own tier-role sync: lose the balance and you lose the tier, hold it back and you regain it.

| Tier           | Holding threshold |
| -------------- | ----------------- |
| **Mintaka**    | 1,000 ZDLT        |
| **Alnitak**    | 10,000 ZDLT       |
| **Alnilam**    | 100,000 ZDLT      |
| **Bellatrix**  | 1,000,000 ZDLT    |
| **Betelgeuse** | 5,000,000 ZDLT    |
| **Saiph**      | 10,000,000 ZDLT   |

Higher tiers unlock deeper channels and, at the top, private AMAs and closer access. The authoritative channel-to-tier mapping is pinned in the Discord.

## 4. In development

A staking ladder and a multi-level referral program are being built on the Zirodelta Financial Engine. Neither is live yet; both will be announced when they ship, and nothing about them is a promise of income.

## Honest notes

* Rewards in wzdUSD are **variable and can be zero**. There is no guaranteed APR.
* The strategy is **being proven first** on the founder's own capital; the deposit-and-earn flow opens to user funds only after an independent audit and a legal review.
* Tier multipliers govern your **share** of the reward pool, not a promised return.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zirodelta.com/zdlt-token/utility.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
