# ZVE Token

⚠️ The ZVE Token is not trading on any exchanges yet, beware of scams.

ZVE is the native governance token of the Zivoe ecosystem. It empowers holders to participate in protocol governance, shape key decisions, and contribute to the future direction of the protocol.

| **Ticker**                        | ZVE                                        |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Type**                          | ERC20                                      |
| **Total Supply (Fixed)**          | 25,000,000                                 |
| **Token** **Contract (Ethereum)** | 0xe412D46a0fBD567332b7689cFFfE1F8A4f19A9d2 |

### Governance <a href="#governance" id="governance"></a>

Zivoe is governed through an on-chain voting system driven by ZVE token holders. ZVE holders have the ability to propose and vote on a defined set of actions through the Zivoe Improvement Proposal (ZIP) process.

Examples of proposals that may be governed via ZIPs include:

* Adjusting protocol reward rates
* Approving integrations with new contracts
* Updating protocol configuration parameters
* Activating or modifying the protocol fee switch
* Directing protocol managed assets

Proposals undergo an on-chain voting process where members vote For, Against, or Abstain. Voting power is directly linked to the number of ZVE tokens held, with 1 ZVE equating to 1 vote. To encourage participation from all token holders, we've made it possible for you to vote whether you are holding ZVE in your wallet, staking it, and even while its still vesting to your wallet.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.zivoe.com/user-docs/zve-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
