# Tokenomics

The ZFI token is intrinsically tied to the Zyfai protocol and lies at the center of the Zyfai ecosystem.

<Info title="💡 Contract Addresses">
  CA on ZKsync: <code>0x5d0d7bca050e2e98fd4a5e8d3ba823b49f39868d</code><br />
  CA on Base: <code>0xD080eD3c74a20250a2c9821885203034ACD2D5ae</code>
</Info>

You can hold ZFI, receive it as rZFI ([reward ZFI](/docs/product/ecosystem/token/incentives)) incentives or stake it as stZFI ([staked ZFI](/docs/product/ecosystem/token/staking)) for additional utility.

**Current total supply:** 499,367,705 ZFI (initial 500M ZFI minus burned tokens).

**It is shared between 2 chains: Base & ZKsync Era.** You can easily bridge your token from one chain to another using Zyfai bridge, powered by Layer Zero.

#

ZFI tokenomics follows community-first approach, with **58% of the total supply allocated to the community** as the core contributor to the Zyfai ecosystem.

A significant portion of both investors’ and team members’ tokens are vested over an extended period to ensure long-term alignment with the protocol’s value proposition.

The TGE took place on November 19, 2024.

### ZFI Burning program (sunsetted)

In September, the DAO approved [Buyback & Burn program](https://snapshot.box/#/s:zyfai.eth/proposal/0xd05cc975e7ef388615e3c1d7b67f3708a67ff08c3c3a99be7a73cc03218eb6a6), under which 50% of collected performance fees were burned.

During the program, **a total of 632,295 ZFI was burned**, permanently removing these tokens from the total supply:

* **October:** 255,350 ZFI
* **November:** 244,707 ZFI
* **December:** 132,238 ZFI

As a result, the total supply is now **499,367,705 ZFI**.

In January, the DAO [approved](https://snapshot.box/#/s:zyfai.eth/proposal/0xe8cc48f3095958c58884780bfc5c96c081a491f8fb883a0be3d2ee4cf0852ea9) an updated protocol fee allocation model, replacing Buyback & Burn program with direct USDC yield for ZFI stakers.
