Question 1

What is ZIG?

Accepted Answer

ZIG is the native token of ZIGChain. ZIGChain is a permissionless Cosmos Layer 1 for wealth applications and on-chain financial tools, meaning the network is maintained by its own ledger and validator set rather than existing only as an application on another chain. “Native” indicates that ZIG is an asset used at this mainnet's protocol layer. It differs from representation forms created through bridging on other networks; both may be used to transfer value, but their networks, address formats, and operating paths should not be confused.

Question 2

What is ZIG used for on the network?

Accepted Answer

ZIG can be used to pay Gas fees required for transactions and smart contract execution on ZIGChain. When users submit an operation, the network needs to process and record it; Gas is the fee paid for on-chain computing, storage, and other resources consumed. The actual cost is not determined by the label “transfer” alone, but depends on the resources requested by the transaction and the network's fee rules. Paying Gas is a function of using the network; it does not mean purchasing a financial product or guarantee that a transaction will succeed.

Question 3

How does ZIG participate in staking?

Accepted Answer

Holders can delegate ZIG to validators to participate in staking. Validators validate transactions, produce or confirm blocks, and maintain network security; delegation causes tokens to support the staking weight of the selected validator. When a validator participates in the network according to protocol rules, delegators may share related rewards under the rules, usually after deducting the commission set by the validator. Rewards are not determined solely by token quantity, but are also affected by delegation status, validator performance, commission, and network rules; the availability of staked assets should also be confirmed under the network's unbonding rules.

Question 4

Can ZIG be used for governance?

Accepted Answer

ZIG can support on-chain governance of ZIGChain. Governance enables token holders to express views on protocol-layer proposals, such as network upgrades, parameter adjustments, or other network matters. The actual governance process depends on on-chain proposal and voting rules: eligible tokens or staking weight are used to vote, and a proposal produces a protocol-level outcome only after meeting the applicable thresholds. Holding ZIG itself does not mean every proposal will pass, nor does it represent ownership of an off-chain entity.

Question 5

How are ZIG's supply and allocation arranged?

Accepted Answer

ZIGChain mainnet ZIG has a maximum supply of 2.5 billion tokens. The supply cap indicates the maximum total quantity defined by the protocol; it is not the quantity immediately tradable in the market at any given time. Official materials list allocation categories including the community, founders, staking subsidies, ecosystem development, foundation reserves, and long-term community rewards, with some portions subject to lock-up or vesting conditions. Allocation describes the categories for which tokens are arranged; lock-ups and vesting determine when some of those tokens can be obtained or transferred by the relevant parties, and together they affect the pace of tradable supply.

Question 6

Why must the network be confirmed when transferring ZIG?

Accepted Answer

Before transferring ZIG, it is necessary to confirm that the network supported by the recipient matches the token form held. Native ZIG and bridged forms on other networks are not the same asset record on the same network, and their addresses and deposit rules may differ. If the sending network, receiving network, or asset form does not match, the receiving platform may not automatically recognize the assets, and subsequent handling also depends on whether the recipient supports that network. The correct steps are to verify the withdrawal network, deposit network, and token name before making a small test transfer or formal transfer; do not determine interchangeability merely because the token ticker is the same.
