# Staking & Staking Rewards

## Staking

This is the largest chunk of the token allocations. With the staking allocation, the team simply aims to resolve the value stabilization of $ZEAL token. It is a fair way to attract and retain players / community members who would prefer to secure a certain part of Gameplay Governance. All the stakers of $ZEAL will be rewarded at a rate that is simply unparalleled, which will in turn alleviate the monetary value. The higher the number of $ZEAL owned, the higher number of votes issued, allowing the owner to participate and decide for the Zazzy Ecosystem. This token will be gradually released over the years, simply subjected to the size of Dazzle.

Future is very promising for the ZazzyZebras Game. All the participants that would stake considerable amounts of $ZEAL, whilst not associating themselves with the actual gameplay, will be delegate their voting power to other entities and these would perform the governance of the Zazzy Ecosystem. An example of such is, a e-sports team owner, staking a sizeable chunk of $ZEAL would be able to provide voting power to the individual team players, who would actually play the game.

## Genesis Block NFT Staking Rewards

This is an exceptional arrangement, where the Genesis Block NFT owners will be able to receive $ZEAL token, after a cooldown period of 30 Days calculated from the beginning of ownership. This would continue for 2 years since the first airdrop. Which is a theoretical figure assuming all the Genesis Block NFT owners, didn’t trade their NFTs.
