# Tokenomics

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Deflationary Price Increase</mark>

$ZONX are long-term deflationary, with 2 best mechanisms that are well proof in the market: **Proof of Staking** and **Proof of Burn**. Staking emissions have a hard cap and are continuing to decrease, while the burn is permanent and continuing to increase, and we will burn quite a lot of tokens; A significant portion of protocol fees go towards token burn: Revenue and NFT sales. So as the METAZONX metaverse continues growing, more $ZONX will be burnt, leading to the value of each remaining $ZONX rising continuously and permanently.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Exclusive Earning Opportunities</mark>

Through the staking mechanism, we regularly provide token rewards from staking pool available only for $ZONX holders who lock their $ZONX and land in the staking pool.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Exclusive NFT Access</mark>

We are planning to integrate NFTs with actual utility into the platform. Users will have to hold $ZONX in order to benefit from this utility, as well as to gain access to these NFTs in the first place, along with other exclusive items such as Avatars NFT.
