# Token Utility

The ZNOS token is at the heart of the Zenos ecosystem, designed to offer real value and utility to its holders. As we navigate the complexities of the cryptocurrency market with our AI-driven ETFs, the ZNOS token plays a crucial role in both the governance of Zenos and in providing tangible benefits to its community. Here’s how the ZNOS token serves as a cornerstone of our platform:

## **Management Fees and Staking Rewards**

Our business model is predicated on management fees derived from the operation of our ETFs. These fees are a reflection of the value we provide through our AI-driven analysis and the dynamic management of each ETF's composition. The management fees are structured to correlate with the risk profile of each ETF; that is, ETFs that encompass assets with greater volatility, and hence risk, incur higher management fees. This is where the ZNOS token comes into play.

Zenos offers its token holders the ability to stake their ZNOS tokens. By staking, holders can capture a fraction of the management fees generated by the platform. This mechanism not only provides a real yield to our token holders but also aligns the interests of the Zenos ecosystem with those of our investors. The more the platform grows and the more successful our ETFs become, the greater the rewards distributed to our staking participants.

## **Governance**

The ZNOS token empowers its holders with governance rights, allowing them a voice in the platform’s decision-making process. Token holders can propose and vote on important decisions, such as the introduction of new ETFs, adjustments in management fee structures, and the implementation of new features. This democratic approach ensures that Zenos evolves in a direction that reflects the preferences and interests of its community.

## **Access to Beta Features and Launchpad**

Holding and staking ZNOS tokens also grant exclusive access to beta features, such as early access to new ETFs through our launchpad. This not only allows our community to be the first to invest in these new offerings but also to play a role in their refinement before a wider release. The launchpad and other beta features are designed to foster a sense of community and to reward our most dedicated and engaged members with early access to innovations within the Zenos ecosystem.

## **The Dual Utility of Staking**

The staking mechanism serves a dual purpose: it provides real yield derived from the platform’s earnings and incentivizes the holding of ZNOS tokens, thus reducing market volatility and aligning the long-term interests of the stakeholders with the health and growth of the platform.
