Liquidity providers deposit funds into zkSwap and receive trading fees from traders (supply-side fees). Traders receive token rewards for their trades through the Swap2Earn incentive program (token incentives).

zkSwap Finance is a non-custodial Swap-to-Earn DeFi exchange protocol built on zkSync Era (originally a fork of Uniswap). zkSwap Finance was founded by pseudonymous ThunderNoah, etc., and launched in 2023. 

ZF token holders own and govern the protocol via Snapshot vote. They currently take a cut of the total trading fees paid by traders (revenue).

# zkSwap Finance Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The token supply maximum metric for zkSwap represents the theoretical maximum number of tokens that can ever exist for the zkSwap protocol. This is a static metric that reflects the hard cap defined in the protocol's tokenomics design. Unlike circulating supply metrics that change based on blockchain activity, the maximum supply is a fixed protocol parameter that remains constant at 1 billion tokens from the project's launch date of May 30, 2023.

## 2. Data sources

This metric relies on protocol documentation and tokenomics specifications rather than dynamic blockchain data:
- **Protocol specifications**: zkSwap's official tokenomics documentation defining the maximum token supply
- **Token contract documentation**: Smart contract specifications that enforce the supply cap
- **Project launch information**: Official launch date and timing parameters

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply definition
- **Purpose**: Establishes the fundamental token supply parameters for zkSwap
- **Logic**: The calculation sets three core values: the protocol launch timestamp as May 30, 2023 at 00:00:00 UTC, the aggregation grain as daily, and the maximum token supply as exactly 1 billion tokens. This represents the absolute ceiling for token creation as defined in the protocol's design
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (launch date), `timestamp_grain` (daily), and `token_supply_maximum` (1,000,000,000)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: No combination is required as this is a single static value
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable - this metric represents token count, not monetary value
- **Time aggregation**: The metric uses daily boundaries starting from the launch date with a fill-forward strategy to maintain continuity
- **Final calculation**: The metric value remains constant at 1 billion tokens for every day from May 30, 2023 onward, representing zkSwap's immutable maximum token supply cap
