# The ZPY token

<mark style="color:red;">NOTE: The ZPY token is not released yet!</mark>

We plan to release a governance token, ZPY, in the near future. Target date is during Q2 2024. The ZPY token will be used to steer governance of the Zippy Stake Pool to control the delegation strategy, and any other major changes that affect the tokenomics.

Holders of ZPY are eligible to receive 50% of the proceeds from the Zippy Stake pool.
