# Points Program

Starting January 1st 2024, you can earn points when holding and using zippySOL across approved defi partners. The points you accumulate will be used to determine the initial allocation of the ZPY governance token when it is released later this year. See [The ZPY token](/validators/the-zpy-token.md) for the proposed tokenomics.
