Happy morning, CT. Most token launches turn early users into mere mercenaries give them free tokens, and they’ll sell them off and leave. Zeru Finance’s zETH Miner initiative aims to transform these users into long-term stakeholders. First, let’s clarify one thing: a seat is not a free handout. You have to place a bid during the Miner window. Furthermore, seats cannot be bought, they must be earned through your activity on the Ethereum network. Holding a seat grants you five key benefits: ◾ Early access to auctions. ◾ A share of the auction proceeds (in USDC). ◾ A portion of the weekly trading fees. ◾ Token options that unlock over time. ◾ Rewards from users you’ve referred. Note that four of these five benefits only materialize after the launch. If the market goes dead, the share of trading fees drops to zero, and the value of those options fades. Therefore, it is in the Miner’s best interest to ensure the market remains active and trading continues. There are three distinct roles at play here: Activity determines who gets the opportunity. Capital is still required to participate. The market dictates what happens after the launch. A wallet might execute hundreds of transactions without actually contributing anything meaningful to the ecosystem. Conversely, someone might have quietly supported the community for years, yet remain invisible when looking purely at raw numbers. To address this discrepancy, @zerufinance analyzes wallet behavior. By doing so, the protocol can identify and reward genuine contributors, rather than those merely creating temporary noise. However, if the scoring criteria are too complex or easily gamed, users will lose trust. The ultimate test lies in accuracy, fairness, and the actual value provided to the protocol. In Web3, there is no shortage of data, but there is a profound lack of understanding regarding the human beings behind those numbers.
