3. Token application and distribution

Token application:

The Zealous Swap token facilitates multiple utilities, including enabling advanced trading strategies such as Flash Swaps, which allow traders to leverage borrowed tokens within single transactions without upfront capital. It also underpins the Modular-Fee Engine that customizes fees according to token pair volatility, supporting efficient trading and liquidity provision. Additionally, the token economics align ecosystem participants through economic incentives and potential DAO governance integration in future updates.
