ZAMA Tokenomics FAQ

Key questions and answers about Zama tokenomics. Last updated 05/22/26, 8:02 AM

What is the utility of the ZAMA token?

Zama has 5 primary token utilities:

  • Network Security: Zama uses Delegated Proof-of-Stake where $ZAMA is staked/delegated to 18 elected operators (13 KMS nodes, 5 FHE Coprocessors) who run infrastructure securing the protocol. Operators must stake at least 0.5% of circulating $ZAMA.
  • Staking Rewards: Staking rewards are funded through 5% annual inflation of total $ZAMA supply, split 60% to KMS operators/delegators and 40% to Coprocessor operators/delegators, distributed based on the square root of each operator's total stake.
  • Fee Discounts: Protocol fee rates range dramatically based on volume/subscription tiers — ZKPoK verification from $0.005 (high-volume) to $0.5 (pay-as-you-go), decryption from $0.001 to $0.1, bridging from $0.01 to $1.0 — with developers able to subscribe to monthly plans for discounted fee structures.
  • Service Payments: $ZAMA is spent for discrete protocol services: ZKPoK verification fees for encrypted inputs, decryption service fees, and cross-chain bridging fees — all priced in USD but paid in $ZAMA via on-chain oracle.
  • Other: Governance is controlled exclusively by elected operators through an Aragon DAO, with each operator holding exactly equal voting weight regardless of stake size. Token holders do not vote directly; they influence governance only indirectly through delegation choices.
