# Zylo Token

### 1. Role of Zylo in the Ecosystem

Zylo is the **single utility token** of the Zylo ecosystem.

It is **not a standalone product** and is not tied to a single use case.\
Zylo acts as an **infrastructure-level economic layer** that connects multiple products and user activities under one shared system of rules, access, and incentives.

The Zylo ecosystem follows the principle:

**one user → multiple contexts → one economy**

A user may interact with different products (games, trading, services), but remains within a single economic environment.

### 2. Core Functions of the Token

Zylo performs the following base functions:

* A **unified currency** across all ecosystem products
* An **access token** for closed features, events, and modes
* A **mandatory component** for partners and integrations
* A **progress carrier**, allowing accumulation and transfer of value between products

Zylo may be a **required condition** for accessing specific features, services, or bundled products.

### 3. Ecosystem Bundles

Zylo enables **combined product access through a single payment**.

Examples:

* VPN + access to CosmoFox game events
* VPN + participation in trading tournaments
* VPN + early access and eligibility for ecosystem-wide events

**One Zylo payment → benefits across multiple products**

### 4. Trading (Intrade)

#### 4.1 Token Burn During Trading

When trading via Zylo, **a portion of tokens is burned**.

In exchange, users receive **improved trading conditions** (e.g. higher payout).

Example:\
Trade volume of $50 → equivalent Zylo burned → increased payout.

### 8. Staking (Supporting Layer)

Staking is **not the core function** of Zylo and serves as a supporting mechanism.

#### 8.1 Eligibility

Staking may be required for:

* Tournament participation
* Event access

#### 8.2 Governance

Participation in ecosystem governance via **DAO mechanics**.

Examples:

* Trading privileges
* Access to hidden assets
* Game and service bonuses
* Combined product advantages

#### 8.5 Game Advantages

* Special offers
* Passive in-game bonuses

**Example (illustrative):**\

(Actual bonuses may vary.)

### 9. B2B and Partners

For partner and white-label products:

* Zylo usage is **mandatory**
* Zylo acts as the **settlement and infrastructure currency**
* Partners connect directly to the shared ecosystem economy

### 10. Summary

It is a **unified economic layer** that provides access, conditions, status, and progress transfer across multiple digital services within the Zylo ecosystem.
