Rewards and Anuma Tokens
When you lock ZETA, you earn Anuma Tokens — an ERC-20 token on ZetaChain that exists for one purpose: redeeming for Anuma credits. This article explains how rewards accrue, what Anuma Tokens are, and how they convert into credits.
How rewards accrue
- Rate: 12% annual reward rate on the ZETA you have locked at launch. The rate is dynamic and may change over time — check the Anuma Access dashboard for the current rate.
- Accrual: continuous — Anuma Tokens accrue every second your ZETA stays locked
- Proportional: rewards scale linearly with the amount locked. Locking 2× as much ZETA earns 2× as many tokens at the same rate.
- No compounding inside the contract: earned tokens accrue separately from your locked balance. You can claim and redeem them whenever you want without affecting your lock.
The dashboard reflects your latest on-chain balances. The number doesn’t tick up live — it refreshes when you load the page or complete an action like locking, claiming, or redeeming.
- Anuma Tokens Earned Daily — your current daily earnings rate based on your locked balance
- Total tokens earned — lifetime tokens you’ve accrued
- Tokens redeemed — lifetime tokens you’ve converted to credits
What Anuma Tokens are
Anuma Tokens are an ERC-20 token on ZetaChain with three key properties:
- Non-transferrable — you cannot send them to another address, sell them on a DEX, or list them on an exchange. The contract blocks transfers between user wallets.
- Redeemable 1:1 for Anuma credits — 1 Anuma Token always converts to 1 Anuma credit.
- Earned only by locking ZETA — there is no other way to acquire Anuma Tokens.
This design keeps Anuma Tokens tied to actual usage of the platform rather than secondary-market speculation.
How rewards become credits
There are two on-chain steps to turn earnings into usable Anuma credits:
- Claim — moves your accrued Anuma Tokens from the staking contract into your wallet as a real ERC-20 balance
- Redeem — burns Anuma Tokens from your wallet and grants you credits inside the app
See Claim and redeem for credits for the step-by-step flow.
Credit expiry
Credits issued by redeeming Anuma Tokens expire 30 days after they’re issued. The dashboard shows your credit balance and the next expiry date so you can plan when to redeem.
To avoid wasting credits, most users redeem in batches — claim and redeem only as many tokens as you expect to spend within 30 days, and let the rest continue accruing in your wallet or on the contract.
Pro Plan benefits if you lock 80,000+ ZETA
Locking 80,000 ZETA or more activates the Anuma Pro Plan for as long as your ZETA stays locked. Pro benefits include:
- 2,500 credits per month (25× the Free plan’s 100/mo)
- 25% cheaper per credit
- Unlimited backup
- 50 GB media storage
- Early access to new features
Pro benefits are on top of the Anuma Tokens you continue to earn. Locking ZETA covers your subscription tier and earns spendable credits at the same time.
Good to know
- Rewards keep accruing automatically — there’s no daily check-in or claim required to keep earning.
- Earned-but-unclaimed Anuma Tokens stay on the staking contract until you claim them. You don’t lose them by waiting.
- If you start unlocking ZETA, rewards stop accruing on the unlocking portion immediately and your Pro benefits end at the same moment.
- The reward rate applies equally to Pro and Flexible lockers — there’s no preferential rate for locking more. The rate itself can be updated over time, so the dashboard is the source of truth for what you’re currently earning.
- Anuma never charges a fee on rewards — the only cost is ZetaChain network gas when you claim. Redeeming is gasless.
