Liquid staking was step one.
Now @Valdora_finance is building toward Liquid Everything. Stablecoins flow into curated vaults, positions stay composable, and all the while, the whole thing keeps earning. That's the direction capital infrastructure is heading.
@WaseemMSalim is joining as CEO to lead that next phase. This is exactly where we're headed too.
Welcome aboard
You've seen Valdora evolve from liquid staking into Liquid Everything.
Today, we're introducing the person helping build what comes next.
Meet @WaseemMSalim, joining Valdora as the new CEO, bringing years of ecosystem growth experience, including time at Algorand Foundation.
Crypto has never had a shortage of mechanisms claiming to connect ecosystem growth to token value. Most of them collapse the moment growth slows, because the connection was never structural to begin with.
Our Tokenomics 2.0 ties $ZIG to something that doesn't depend on sentiment: a monthly governance vote with real capital attached.
Every month, ZIG Markets revenue funds an open-market $ZIG acquisition. Half flows automatically into the Ecosystem Pool. The other half goes to a validator vote: retire the tokens, or redeploy them to grow the network. Onchain, stake-weighted, binding.
Both outcomes keep value inside the system. Neither is the default and the vote decides which.
Beginning today, our full framework is now live. Read it for yourself here: whitepaper.zigchain.com/zig-tokenomics…
1/ The first generation of token economies was built purely on narrative. Projects issued tokens, promised future adoption, and let speculation hold up the price. For a while, it worked.
But it doesn't work anymore and everyone knows it.
Starting today, ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 is different 🧵
Starting today, ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 enters a new era.
Tokenomics 2.0 changes how every institutional partnership, every integration, every product, every market we open, and every revenue line we build connects back to ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 That connection is as much an internal commitment to how we build as it is anything the market will see from the outside.
ZIGChain, ZIG Markets, ecosystem growth, and network value now move in the same direction, by design, and this is where that starts.
For me, this is one of the most important foundations we have put in place, and today we begin acquiring ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01
The journey starts now.
1/ The first generation of token economies was built purely on narrative. Projects issued tokens, promised future adoption, and let speculation hold up the price. For a while, it worked.
But it doesn't work anymore and everyone knows it.
Starting today,
11/ We’re committed to real revenue, not narrative. A binding mechanism, and not an empty promise. Governance that decides something, over governance that performs something.
This is Tokenomics 2.0.
For all the details, see our full tokenomics here: whitepaper.zigchain.com/zig-tokenomics…
10/ We won't publish burn targets or supply forecasts because anyone who does is playing a guessing game.
What we will publish is what already happened, every month, on a live dashboard at hub.zigchain.com.
Wrapped up Q2 today by presenting the @ZIGChain journey to the senior leadership team at @Disrupt_com
This quarter was an important one for us.
We launched ZIGMarkets as our commercial engine, announced the 500M ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 buyback journey, went live with new products across Oro, Nawa and Valdora, and continued building serious institutional momentum across partners like Apex, Ondo, Taurus, Beehive, Fasset, Fuze, and a few others.
We also took ZIGChain into bigger global rooms, from our own ZIGChain Summit to SuperReturn in Berlin and Point Zero Forum in Zurich.
The biggest takeaway for me is simple.
ZIGChain is no longer just about building chain infrastructure. We are now building a vertically integrated onchain finance ecosystem where products, capital, users, revenue and ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 alignment all start moving in the same direction.
Q2 was momentum, Q3 is where we compound it.
We have been heads-down for a while, and the last two weeks are where some of it surfaced.
With buybacks just a day out, we kept shipping to match the moment. ZIGChain partnered with Fasset, TVL crossed $50M, ORO made the world's most exclusive funds something anyone could ask about, the network hit its ten millionth block, and co-founder @ARafayGadit took the ZIGChain thesis to Point Zero Forum in Zurich.
📰 Headline News
- ZIGChain crossed $50M in TVL: Two-thirds of that is held in stablecoins, with more than $33M in USDC already working across onchain yield products. That's the part worth noting. Stablecoins usually sit idle, and on ZIGChain most of them are put to work.
- ZIGChain x @fasset: A regulated, Shariah-compliant platform serving over a million users across 125 countries, many of them in markets that rarely get this kind of access. The partnership is the real milestone here. It opens a path for real-world yield and investment products to eventually reach users the old system never served.
📝 Governance & Ecosystem
- ORO integrated @KAIO_xyz: BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, Brevan Howard. The thing that kept most people out of these funds was never just the minimum ticket. It was knowing enough to ask the right questions in the first place. ORO (@Ask_ORO), built on ZIGChain and trained on every fund KAIO has tokenized, lets you ask what a fund holds and how it works, and answers in plain language. You can understand them today. Access to them follows.
✅ Milestones
- Block 10,000,000: The network crossed its ten millionth block this fortnight. Each one settles the activity that tokenized real-world assets depend on, and it is quiet proof that the infrastructure under the products just keeps running.
- $50M in TVL, and the makeup is the part worth noting: more than $33M of it is USDC, already working across yield products rather than sitting on the sidelines. This is real capital that chose to come here and compound.
🎙️ Events
- @ARafayGadit at @pointzeroforum in Zurich: Point Zero Forum brought together more than 80 regulators and central banks to work through stablecoins, digital money, and the rules for bringing real assets onchain. Our co-founder spent the week in that room, because the decisions made there will shape how all of onchain finance gets governed.
If you are riding this momentum with us, spread it with an RT. 💙
Your capital is probably sitting idle right now. Most of it is.
It gets parked. It gets forgotten. It earns next to nothing. That's just how it has always worked.
But it doesn't have to.
Capital sits idle for one reason: it never had a better place to be.
We're building that place. Capital can move into private credit. It can move into equities. It can move into real estate. It earns its keep instead of waiting around for you to need it.
Stables stay parked. But capital with somewhere to go gets to work.
