This is not the vault.

At Zentry, we build, invest, and collaborate to craft the world’s largest shared adventure. Achieving this is no small feat, but we are equipped with full-stack technology, a vibrant community, and a robust treasury.

Today, we have taken the opportunity to update our community on our treasury holdings and strategic approach.

Treasury Holdings

As of May 22nd, 2024, the total value of our treasury is $151,367,382, up around 44% from early 2024. This is categorized into two main areas: liquid reserves and investments.

Liquid Reserves

Our liquid reserves comprise stablecoins and major cryptocurrencies, such as ETH, totaling $78,105,000.

  • Stablecoins: $17,850,000, distributed among USDC and USDT, utilized in various lending and yield-generating protocols.
  • Cryptocurrencies: $60,255,000, which includes approximately 16,000 ETH staked across several protocols.

Treasury Strategy

Zentry has a Four-Engine Treasury Strategy to ensure robust growth, continuous innovation, and value creation.

Investing in Zentry’s Development — Strengthening the Core

At the heart of our Treasury Strategy is Zentry’s commitment to its development. By continuously enhancing and broadening the core of the Zentry universe, we build a robust and resilient foundation for all our endeavors. As we introduce more products and experiences, the economic value within the Zentry ecosystem not only increases but also flows back to the Treasury, directly benefiting our token holders and fostering a thriving community.

Investing in Others — Capturing Both Financial and Synergistic Value

Our investment strategy extends beyond internal development. We meticulously assess potential investments for strategic alignment with our long-term vision, targeting frontier projects that integrate seamlessly with our ecosystem. These investments are chosen for their financial returns and the synergistic value they add, helping to create new experiences and enhance our technology stack, thus keeping Zentry at the forefront of technological advancement.

Ecosystem Incentives — Driving Rapid Expansion

Ecosystem incentives are pivotal in driving the rapid expansion of the Zentry universe. We offer strategic incentives to encourage participation, collaboration, and innovation. These incentives catalyze growth by attracting new users, developers, and partners, contributing to a vibrant and dynamic community. The resulting expansion creates a network effect, exponentially increasing the value and reach of our ecosystem.

Earning Yields — Creating Sustainable Growth

Sustainable growth is fundamental to our Treasury Strategy. We generate a steady income stream by earning yields by strategically staking stablecoins, ETH, and token nodes. This revenue is strategically reinvested into the development of the Zentry ecosystem or distributed back to our token holders. This approach ensures the continuous growth and enhancement of Zentry and provides tangible rewards to our community, reinforcing their trust and commitment to Zentry.

Through this staking and yield strategy, we expect the generation of at least $10 million annually.

Looking Ahead

Over the year 2024, our treasury has expanded from $100 million to more than $150 million. We are committed to ensuring these gains translate into tangible benefits for our community. Without you, we are nothing. Thus, we are exploring the possibility of using earnings from our investments and commercial activities to incentivize ZENT holders directly and indirectly in a sustainable way.

Transparency and accessibility remain critical pillars of our strategy moving forward. We are excited to introduce a new Zentry ecosystem overview section on zentry.com soon, where everyone can find more info about partners, investments, updates, and projects connected to Zentry. This feature will give our community insights into our treasury holdings, investment portfolio, and overall progress — imagine patch notes for games.

Stay tuned for further updates as we build and evolve the Zentry universe, which runs similarly to live service games.

This will be the last boring update about numbers, and we will turn this into a game-like patch note instead. Everyone should feel excited about what is coming, like their favorite game new releases.

Treasury is just part of the Zentry ecosystem, where upcoming products like Radiant, Zigma, Nexus, Azul, and more will pave the way for what Zentry is.
