Daily rewards are a transparent, compounding rate based on public interest‑rate data. The reward rate is intended to reflect conservative benchmarks and may vary over time.
The Zie ecosystem references publicly available U.S. Treasury bill rates as the basis for the daily reward rate. This is meant to anchor the reward calculation to a widely recognized benchmark.
Daily rewards are typically expressed as an annualized rate, then applied daily. For example, a 4.00% annual rate translates to a smaller daily accrual amount, and rewards compound over time.
Formula: Daily Rate = (1 + rate)1/365 − 1
Assuming a 4.00% annual rate, the daily rate is approximately 0.01074597820279...%
Daily rewards are not rounded. On a pouch amount of 9305iZ, the daily reward is 0iZ; from 9306iZ to 18611iZ, the daily reward is 1iZ; from 18612iZ to 27917iZ, the daily reward is 2iZ; and so on.
Because the source data can change over time (daily), the reward rate can change as well. The goal is to keep the calculation transparent and tied to objective data.
Rewards are calculated based on balances at specific times in the day. This encourages consistent balances rather than short‑term spikes.
Daily rewards are intended to be predictable and based on public rates rather than arbitrary adjustments.
