1. Executive Summary
ZEXPIRE transforms complex, high-speed financial tools like zero-day options (0DTE) into a simple, gamified DeFi protocol. Users can make volatility bets through tokenized tickets, while holding the native token ZX gives access to discounts, rewards, and governance rights.
ZEXPIRE is a GameFi-first volatility playground with a dual-asset system: tokens for long-term value, tickets for daily action.

2. Vision
Our mission is to bridge the world of high-frequency options trading and everyday crypto gaming. ZEXPIRE envisions a world where:

• Volatility becomes entertainment
• Daily trading decisions are gamified
• Users are rewarded not just for winning but for participating
• Token holders earn real benefits from ecosystem growth

We believe this is the next step in on-chain financial entertainment — combining DeFi, GameFi, and real-world markets.

3. Market Overview
The traditional finance market for 0DTE options has exploded, now making up over 40% of daily options volume on U.S. exchanges. This reflects the rising appetite for short-term, high-volatility instruments.
However, these tools are:

• Complex
• Capital-intensive
• Inaccessible to non-professionals

ZEXPIRE addresses this by:

• Offering one-click access to volatility bets
• Eliminating margin requirements
• Creating a daily game loop powered by real market data

Target market includes:

• Crypto-native traders
• GameFi users
• DeFi users looking for yield with action

4. How ZEXPIRE Works
Every day, users can buy tickets predicting that an asset (e.g., BTC, ETH) will break out of a specific price range.
Simple Flow:

1. Buy a ticket for $5 worth of ZX.
2. If the asset breaks out of the range → earn a payout depending on distance.
3. If it doesn’t → lose the ticket.

No direction needs to be chosen. Only one question matters: Will it move enough today?

5. Protocol Mechanics

• Daily Volatility Session: Each session has a preset range based on real volatility data.
• 3 Phases:
• Open: Users buy tickets.
• Active: Range is revealed at U.S. market open.
• Expired: Session ends, winners paid.
• Internal Hedging: Protocol uses Deribit data and internal hedging mechanisms.
• Treasury Usage: Profits from ticket sales go to treasury → buy-back and burn ZX → value support.

6. Token and Ticket Economy
ZEXPIRE uses a dual-asset system:

• ZX Token:
• Earned in pre-sale
• Auto-staked for APY until listing
• Grants discounts, cashback, and governance rights
• Tickets:
• Used to play daily volatility games
• Purchased with ZX
• Burned after use

Token→Ticket Synergy:
Holding ZX → cheaper tickets + higher cashback → more plays → more protocol activity → more treasury inflows.

7. Token Utility and Staking
ZX is more than a governance token.
Utility:

• Discounts on game tickets
• Cashback on losses
• Staking rewards (5% APR auto-staked until TGE)
• Governance participation post-TGE

Deflationary Support:

• Buy-backs: Treasury used to buy and burn ZX
• Scarcity: Staked tokens locked, circulating supply limited

8. Referral Program
ZEXPIRE features a powerful on-chain referral mechanism that rewards users for helping the ecosystem grow.
Two Core Rewards:

1. Token Bonus — For every user you refer, you earn a reward in ZX tokens.
2. Ticket Cashback — For every ticket purchased by your referral, you receive a % cashback in tokens.

The referral program runs fully on-chain and will be integrated into the presale, mainnet launch, and mobile experience.
Referrals multiply user engagement and build community ownership from day one.

9. Pre-sale Staging and Investor Value
ZX sale is conducted in 200 stages, each with a +1.07% price increase.
Sell Pressure Mitigation:

• 6-month vesting
• No TGE unlock
• Treasury buybacks to offset unlocks

10. Roadmap

11. Community and Governance
ZEXPIRE grows through:

• Referrals: On-chain referral tracking, early bonuses
• Governance: Token-weighted voting post-TGE
• Staking Community: Passive rewards, role-based perks

We empower users to shape the game.

12. Closing Notes
ZEXPIRE is where volatility meets GameFi. We’re building a fast, deflationary, high-impact protocol for anyone who wants to turn price action into a playground.
Join us early. Play the range. Earn the edge.
