The ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ($๐ญ๐๐) token stands at a critical juncture, embodying the tension between pioneering Zero-Knowledge (ZK) infrastructure utility and volatile tokenomic inflation and market speculation.

ZKCโs utility is robust, but sell pressure from ๐ฎ๐ฌ.๐ฌ๐ต% airdrops, ๐ณ%โ๐ฏ% inflation, and ๐ญ๐ฎโ๐ฏ๐ฒ month vesting outweighs demand in the short term.
For ZKC to mature into a foundational commodity, two conditions are essential:
1. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐บ๐ฒ locking more ZKC than is issued.
2. ๐๐ฏ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ป๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ to reduce speculative shocks.
๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด-๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐บ ๐ผ๐๐๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ: High-potential, high-risk, tied to ZK adoption + inflation control.
