Unizen Ignites Record Token Burn
Unizen has just completed the most significant ZCX burn in the history of the protocol, permanently removing 60,221,740 $ZCX tokens from circulation, currently valued at ~$2.75m.
Unizen has just completed the most significant ZCX burn in the history of the protocol, permanently removing 60,221,740 $ZCX tokens from circulation, currently valued at ~$2.75m.
This milestone was achieved through a community-driven governance vote, where ZCX holders came together to shape the future of the ecosystem. The community spoke, and collectively decided to execute a massive burn while allocating an equal amount of 60,221,740 $ZCX to launch high-yield liquidity provider rewards on the BNB Chain.
This dual strategy has been carefully designed to boost Unizen’s long-term growth by rewarding the very users who power our DeFi infrastructure.
Scarcity That Matters
ZCX has always been hyper-deflationary by design. What sets it apart is a dual-burn model:
- We burn tokens from circulating supply through buy-back mechanisms powered by platform revenue.
- And we burn tokens from non-circulating reserves, permanently removing supply that might otherwise enter the market.
This is the largest single burn in Unizen’s history, executed directly from burn reserves, and separate from our ongoing buy-back-burn mechanisms. With it, we are sending a signal that we are serious about long-term value creation and supply discipline.
By permanently removing 60,221,740 $ZCX tokens from circulation we’ve made the token scarcer than ever, amplifying the deflationary forces that already drive ZCX’s unique tokenomics.
Liquidity That Builds the Future
Burning tokens creates scarcity, but deploying them strategically creates momentum.
In addition to the burn, 60,221,740 $ZCX has been earmarked for liquidity rewards to incentivize users to provide deep liquidity on the BNB Chain. This is a major step toward Unizen’s DeFi expansion, driving more volume, smoother swaps, and stronger integrations.
These rewards will support a new LP staking program using PancakeSwap liquidity. Users who provide ZCX liquidity on PancakeSwap will be able to stake their LP tokens and earn rewards—designed to attract long-term participants, combat impermanent loss, and improve trading conditions across the ecosystem.
This marks the first phase of a broader liquidity strategy. More advanced mechanisms are in the works to further enhance capital efficiency and value preservation for liquidity providers.
Governance in Action
This strategic shift wasn’t dictated by the team, it was voted on by everyone. The Unizen DAO, powered by the DEXE governance framework, continues to evolve as a powerful tool for protocol direction. This vote represents a defining moment: a community aligned around a vision that balances scarcity, utility, and growth.
Looking Towards the Future
This burn is not just a moment, it’s the start of a movement. Unizen is accelerating toward a future where major protocol decisions are community-led, every trade fuels value, and every ZCX token becomes more powerful over time.
We’ve just burned more ZCX than ever before and soon, we’ll be rewarding the liquidity that helps power everything we build next.
Stay tuned. The fire’s only just getting started.
