Notes:
Zamio is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that aims to shift 1% of global equity into blockchain‑based assets. The project runs on a three‑token model: the native governance token ZAM, and two pegged stablecoins, AEDZ (to the Emirati Dirham) and USDZ (to the US Dollar). Zamio’s pitch is simple-provide ready‑made, expert‑curated investment portfolios and a phone‑number‑based wallet that makes crypto transfers as easy as sending a text.
The ZAM token serves as the utility and governance layer of the Zamio ecosystem. Holders can vote on protocol upgrades, earn rewards, and access premium portfolio strategies. To stabilize user experience, Zamio introduced AEDZ and USDZ, both 1:1 pegged to their fiat counterparts. This multi‑token approach lets the project distribute ZAM via airdrops while keeping liquidity and price stability through the stablecoins.
The first major distribution channel is the MEXC Kickstarter airdrop. It allocates 160,000ZAM tokens to participants at zero cost. The reference price is $0.23 per ZAM, translating to a theoretical $36,800 total value.
How the voting works
Key points:
The second campaign runs through CoinMarketCap's NFT airdrop. Exactly 88 NFTs are minted and awarded to 88 distinct winners, a nod to the lucky number 88 in Chinese culture.
Typical steps to qualify (based on the platform’s usual task‑based airdrop model):
These NFTs may grant future utility inside the Zamio ecosystem, such as early access to portfolio strategies or reduced fees.
Below is a consolidated checklist to help you navigate both campaigns without missing a deadline.
Airdropped tokens are typically treated as taxable income in many jurisdictions, including NewZealand. Record the fair market value at the moment you receive the ZAM or NFT; this becomes your cost basis for future trades.
Other considerations:
Practical tip: Move airdropped tokens off exchanges as soon as you can and store them in a non‑custodial wallet to reduce counter‑party risk.

Potential Utility | Governance, staking, fee discounts | Early‑access perks, fee rebates, future airdrops |
Geographic Focus | Global MEXC user base | Strong emphasis on Asian markets (88 lucky number) |
If you’re ready to jump in, start by checking your MX balance on MEXC and setting up a CoinMarketCap account. Keep both platforms bookmarked; airdrop windows are time‑sensitive and can close within days. After claiming, consider staking ZAM in Zamio’s native wallet to earn passive yields and influence future governance votes.
The voting period typically runs for two weeks. Check the MEXC announcement banner for the exact cutoff date, as extensions are announced on the platform’s official Telegram.
CoinMarketCap covers the minting gas for the initial NFT transfer, but if you later move the NFT to another wallet, you’ll pay the standard Ethereum gas fee.
Yes. Use a single ERC‑20/ERC‑721 compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask) for both ZAM and the NFT. Just ensure the wallet address is linked on both platforms.
For security, transfer ZAM to a non‑custodial wallet or Zamio’s phone‑number wallet. Consider staking it to earn rewards and to participate in governance votes.
Yes. The market value of ZAM or NFTs at the moment you receive them counts as income. Record the value for your NZ tax return and consult a tax professional for guidance.
