* **Daily Points**: Users earn points daily based on the amount of tokens staked.
* **Multipliers**: Higher staking ranks come with multipliers that increase the points earned, providing additional incentives for users to reach higher ranks.

### <mark style="background-color:orange;">**Deflationary Tokenomics**</mark>

The KZN Token features a deflationary model, which helps in maintaining the token's value over time by creating a constant buy pressure.

* **Fee Utilisation**: 10% of the fee collected from the Kaizen Bot is used to buy back the token and burn it. This reduces the total supply of the token, increasing its scarcity and potentially its value.
* **Buy Pressure**: The continuous buy-back mechanism creates ongoing demand for the token, supporting its price and rewarding holders.
* **OTC Buys for early Investors:** Part of the fee will be used to buy tokens off investors in the presale rounds to reduce sell pressure.&#x20;
