How to lock ZETA

Locking ZETA starts earning Anuma Tokens immediately. If you lock 80,000 ZETA or more, you also unlock the Anuma Pro Plan for as long as your ZETA stays locked.

Before you start

You need ZETA in a wallet on ZetaChain. You can use the embedded wallet that comes with your Anuma account or connect an external wallet like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet.
If you don’t have ZETA yet, see the I don’t have any ZETA section below.

Steps

Step 1: Open Anuma Access

Tap Anuma Access in the sidebar. You land on the Anuma Access overview with two tiers — Anuma Pro Plan (80,000 ZETA) and Flexible Staking (any amount).

Step 2: Tap Get Started on the tier you want

The lock modal opens with your wallet address and current ZETA balance.

Step 3: Enter the amount to lock

Type the amount of ZETA you want to lock. You can lock any amount up to your available balance. The modal shows a USD estimate based on the current ZETA price.

For the Pro tier, lock at least 80,000 ZETA to activate Pro benefits.

Step 4: Review the lock

Tap Lock ZETA. A review screen confirms the lock terms:

Review your ZETA lock screen showing amount, plan tier, credits received per month, and 12% reward rate

Amount being locked — in ZETA and USD
Plan — Pro if you’re locking 80,000+, otherwise your current plan
Credits received per month — the credits you’ll earn from Anuma Token rewards on this amount
Reward rate — 12% annual at launch (the rate is dynamic and may change over time — the dashboard always shows the current rate)

The review also reminds you that you can unlock anytime, but there’s a 21-day waiting period before your ZETA returns to your wallet.

Step 5: Confirm in your wallet

Tap Lock $ZETA. Your wallet prompts you to sign the transaction:

Embedded Anuma wallet — signs automatically with no extra prompt
External wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.) — opens your wallet for approval

Once the transaction confirms on ZetaChain, your ZETA is locked and you start earning Anuma Tokens immediately.

Step 6: See your locked balance on the dashboard

After the transaction confirms, the dashboard updates with your locked balance, daily Anuma Token earnings, and (if applicable) your new Pro plan badge.

I don’t have any ZETA yet

If your wallet balance is 0, Anuma surfaces a Get ZETA to Start Locking screen with two options:

Get ZETA modal showing wallet address and Buy with Coinbase and Buy with debit card options

Buy with Coinbase — opens Coinbase’s hosted purchase flow with ZetaChain pre-selected as the destination network
Buy with a debit card — opens Alchemy Pay for credit/debit card purchases

Coinbase Buy ZETACHAIN page with ZetaChain network pre-selected

Both flows send the ZETA directly to your Anuma wallet address. When the funds arrive, return to Anuma Access and tap Get Started again.

You can also send ZETA in from another wallet — copy your Anuma wallet address from the Get ZETA modal and send from any ZetaChain-compatible wallet.

Good to know

There’s no minimum lock amount — Flexible Staking works with any quantity.
The 80,000 ZETA Pro threshold is fixed. Locking 79,999 ZETA earns rewards but does not activate Pro benefits.
You can add to an existing lock at any time. Top-ups stack onto the same position.
Locking ZETA does not commit you to a time period. You can begin unlocking anytime — see Unlock your ZETA.
The transaction is processed on ZetaChain. Network gas is paid in ZETA from the wallet you use to sign.
If the transaction fails, your funds are safe — nothing leaves your wallet until the contract call succeeds.
