Nautilus Chain is announcing a partnership with Coin98 to accelerate user adoption and growth in Asian markets. The partnership will focus on promoting Zebec, a real-time payment streaming app to be deployed on Nautilus.

Coin98 is an ideal partner for projects seeking to expand in Asian markets. As one of Southeast Asia’s largest DeFi platforms with over 7 million users, Coin98 features an industry-leading integration of 20 chains. While many cross-chain DeFi platforms exist, few can match the number of Coin98’s cross-chain deployments enabled by the Coin98 SpaceGate bridge. Coin 98’s cross-chain compatibility will be key for the Nautilus ecosystem, especially its flagship dApp, Zebec.

Zebec provides tax-compliant, real-time payment streaming services on Web3 rails. “Payment streaming” enables money to be streamed in real-time, unlocking new and innovative business models. For example, gyms and private clubs can charge fees based only on the time members actually use the facilities. Zebec Payroll lets businesses pay employees in real-time so they can leverage the time value of their money and avoid predatory payday loans.

Why Nautilus

Before Nautilus, Zebec struggled to find a blockchain with the requisite reliability and scalability to support its services. As a result, the Zebec Foundation helped research and incubate modular blockchain technology that used L3 architecture. The result is Nautilus, the first production-ready L3 Chain. Nautilus allows developers to customize their “chain stack” by choosing the most suitable VM, execution, and data availability layers for their project.

By allowing developers to tailor their chain stack to their dApps, Nautilus empowers developers to build cutting-edge dApps like Zebec. And now, with Coin98, Nautilus can connect many more chains — and many more users — to the modular blockchain revolution.

“Modularity is the future of the crypto industry,” said the CEO of Zebec, Sam Thapaliya. “It’s the only way a real-time payment streaming dApp like Zebec can work. Traditional payment methods can’t do what we do, but we also built Zebec knowing Web3 couldn’t handle the load either. We jumped first without looking. Nautilus and blockchain modularity is the miraculous net that caught us and made payment streaming at scale possible.”

“Our goal is to bring DeFi to TradFi,” a spokesperson for Coin98 said. “Nautilus not only shares that vision but has put into production a chain that can handle the traffic of real-world applications. We’re excited to work with them and Zebec to replace existing payment infrastructure with infrastructure based on decentralized finance technology”

Coin98: United TradFi and DeFi

Coin98 is an all-in-one DeFi platform with a wallet supporting 40 blockchains, an exchange, a cross-chain bridge, a portfolio tracker, and a venture studio pioneering “the open internet’s future.” Cofounders Thanh Le and Vin Nguyen envisioned a decentralized finance platform that could service traditional finance’s real-world needs. This mission makes Coin98 an ideal partner for Zebec and Nautilus, which also focuses on revolutionizing global payments using Web3.

Nautilus: Next-Gen Infrastructure for Next-Gen Adoption

Nautilus is an innovative L3 chain with a modular architecture built through Celestia, Eigen Layer, and Eclipse. By offering flexible chain stack customization, Nautilus created an EVM-compatible network with the scalability to facilitate Zebec’s continuous settlement protocol at scale. Modularity enhances scalability and makes Nautilus more composable and secure than other networks. It will even enable privacy features in the near future.

This partnership with Coin98 will grow Nautilus’ burgeoning DeFi ecosystem. Projects like PoseiSwap and Coral Finance hope to use Nautilus’ speed and scalability to tokenize real-world assets and bring DeFi into the real world. Together, Coin98 and Nautilus will accelerate mainstream Web3 adoption, especially in Southeast Asian markets.

Perfect Pairing, Perfect Timing

Given the recent global economic downturn, Southeast Asia’s relatively mature crypto market sees digital assets as a possible alternative investment avenue to offset regional growth challenges. The rising GameFi market in the Philippines and Vietnam is making the region a hotbed for quality Web3 projects.

Previously, Zebec Protocol outlined expansion plans into Asia, including promoting Zebec Pay in the region and launching the Zebec Card, which allows holders to pay for for everyday purchases with cryptocurrencies. This partnership between Nautilus and Coin98 is a pivotal step for Zebec Protocol’s Southeast Asia launch.

The partnership aims to secure a sizable regional user base for Zebec Protocol, establishing a foundation for streaming payment services and potentially accelerating $ZBC adoption.

We are excited to announce an integration with one of the top cross-chain projects in Web3: LayerZero. LayerZero is one of the most trusted cross-chain messaging protocols and will connect Nautilus to ecosystems and communities across Web3.

This integration with Nautilus is perfectly timed to boost the chain’s burgeoning DeFi ecosystem. In the last few months, Coral Finance and PoseiSwap have deployed on Nautilus, with many more protocols in the pipeline.

These projects are capitalizing on Nautilus’ modular infrastructure, which provides next-generation capabilities. Projects like PoseiSwap hope to use Nautilus scalability and speed to tokenize real-world assets and bring decentralized finance to the real world.

“This integration comes at a perfect time,” said Sam Thapaliya, Founder of Zebec. “We have dozens of projects waiting to launch on Nautilus, and LayerZero will allow them to reach the users and liquidity they need to be successful. Not to mention, they’re simply a great team to work with, operating with an emphasis on modularity and zk that we actually share.”

The teams hope to have LayerZero fully deployed on Nautilus by November 1st, 2023. In the meantime, the team will use Hyperlane as a temporary solution to bring liquidity to Nautilus.

Working Together to Promote Modularity

Both Nautilus and LayerZero use modular architecture to push the boundaries of blockchain technology.

Nautilus uses a modular architecture to create one of the fastest EVM chains in the industry. Nautilus provides unparalleled transaction speeds by enabling parallel processing, even in an EVM environment. Nautilus also gives developers the ability to deploy customized rollups as execution layers so that they have the flexibility they need to create any type of dApp they envision.

Modularity is also at the heart of LayerZero’s design, providing flexibility and security. Safety is a top concern for all bridges, given the recent hacks, and LayerZero uses its modular architecture to provide top-level security. Instead of a monolithic structure that allows for a single point of failure, LayerZero provides a modular configuration that allows projects to construct their desired security stack. In other words, the security level of a dApp will depend on the application itself, not the underlying bridge.

Thus, the integration between LayerZero and Nautilus Chain is natural, given that both use modular architectures to push the boundaries of blockchain capabilities. LayerZero’s omni-chain capability and security are essential to bringing Nautilus’ scalability and speed to the real world, helping projects like PoseiSwap take on ambitious projects like tokenizing real-world assets as NFTs.

Why LayerZero

LayerZero distinguishes itself from other bridges with its omni-chain vision, aiming to seamlessly connect different blockchains. Its modular structure means the core protocol can remain the same even as it deploys on new chains, making integrations fast and efficient. But there are additional reasons why we decided to integrate with LayerZero.

As a general-purpose protocol, LayerZero transmits more than assets through cross-chain messaging. LayerZero deploys an endpoint on connected chains, running Ultra Light Nodes that allow for generic messages to be passed between chains. This system saves costs and makes LayerZero a perfect versatile bridge for Nautilus, which also seeks broader Web3 interoperability and connectivity.

Unlike other interoperability solutions, LayerZero focuses on tackling liquidity fragmentation. By providing true interoperability, LayerZero allows for the seamless transfer of native assets across chains through their omnichain fungible token (OFT) standard. This approach enhances liquidity and provides a much better experience for users, making networks much more effective and efficient.

Now that the community has overwhelmingly passed ZIP-3, Zepoch Node holders will begin to receive their airdrop rewards as NAUT tokens. ZIP-3 was the community proposal on Zebec’s governance platform to launch a token native to Nautilus Chain, instead of using ZBC.

Switching Airdrop Rewards from ZBC to NAUT

Previously, Zepoch Node holders received airdrop rewards in ZBC tokens. However, users will for the time-being receive “IOU” NAUT tokens until NAUT launches on mainnet. The deployment timeline for NAUT is yet to be confirmed but more details will be released to the community soon. Upon the launch of the mainnet NAUT tokens, the “IOU” tokens can be exchanged on a one-for-one basis.

This switch in airdrop reward payments requires no action from Zepoch validator holders. If they wish, Zepoch holders can withdraw their ZBC from their validators. However, if they don’t, their ZBC will be exchanged for an equivalent amount of “IOU” NAUT tokens with no loss.

Eventually, NAUT will have all the uses of a standard L1 token, though applied to Nautilus L3 architecture. It will be used for gas fees, governance, and to reward sequencers. This marks the first step in a long process of maturing the Nautilus ecosystem and bringing L3 modular chains to Web3.

How NAUT and Nautilus are Changing Web3

As stated above, NAUT will be the native token of Nautilus and will take on all the normal utility of an L1 token. NAUT will be used to pay gas fees and minting fees, as well as act as the governance token. Currently, gas fees on Nautilus are paid in ZBC because of Zebec’s integral part in launching the chain, but that will change with the launch of NAUT in the coming months.

Nautilus Chain itself is pioneering modular chain technology. A “Layer 3” chain, it lets developers tailor the blockchain foundation on which they build their dApps. With Nautilus, developers will be able to customize the data availability layer, execution layer, and settlement layer to create a “chain stack” that is tailored to their needs. Nautilus uses optimistic rollups for scalability and has plans to also offer zkRollups in the future.

The end result is an EVM-compatible chain that has the scalability and flexibility necessary for mainstream adoption. Developers will be able to build dApps that bring Web3 and Web2 together. For example, Nautilus will have the throughput necessary for tokenizing RWAs and enabling real-time continuous payment streaming, revolutionizing payroll, and early wage access services (EWAs). It will be able to facilitate on-chain stock trading and also provide a certain level of privacy so projects can comply with consumer protection laws.

In essence, Nautilus and NAUT will empower developers to build next-generation dApps that are ready for real-world use.

Other Zepoch Token Rewards to Stay the Same

Over 50 different projects are preparing to launch on Nautilus Chain. As they do, each will give certain rewards to Zepoch Validator holders for their early support of the ecosystem. These rewards will be paid in the native token of the project.

For instance, PoseiSwap, a next-generation DEX launching on Nautilus, will still airdrop its POSE tokens to Zepoch holders, not ZBC or NAUT. Themis Gavel holders and certain early Zepochs nodes will receive extra bonuses from these projects. However, if you want to support the Nautilus ecosystem and mission, it isn’t too late to join Operation Horizon and purchase your own Zepoch Validator node.

To celebrate the launch of Nautilus’ mainnet, Zebec has launched a unique ZBC staking event! In the event, values will be denominated in real-time USD value, independent of $ZBC price fluctuations, in order to enable lossless mining and stable returns.

The process is simple:

1. Enter campaign on Galxe and complete social tasks
2. Choose how long to stake $ZBC link:https://www.zbcstaking.com/staking?code=28FFNEAB
3. Automatically receive Bonus Interest Coupons
4. After the staking period chosen, rewards will be calculated
5. Bonus interest to be distributed within 15 working days after the staking period ends

To participate, simply stake ZBC during the event period. When you do so, you’ll receive bonus interest coupons which can increase your returns 20%-30%. This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your holdings!

Event Details:

The longer you choose to stake ZBC, and the more you stake in this campaign, the greater your returns will be:

When users stake, the real-time price of $ZBC is recorded. You bonus rewards vary based on the length of time you pledge your stake. The longer you stake, the more rewards you will earn.

When withdrawing at the end of the staking period, rewards will be calculated based on the real-time value of $ZBC/USDT. Please note that the rewards calculation is on a simple interest basis, based on the yield, not the principal.

Interest Coupon Acquisition Period (stake during this time to get Bonus Interest Coupons): August 31th — September 10th on Galxe.

Eligibility: All community members who stake $ZBC > 300 can participate

Event Rules:

• Task 1: Follow Twitter-Zebec
• Task 2: Retweet Twitter posts
• Task 3: Stake your ZBC Tokens

For Example:

Suppose you stake $10,000 USDT worth or ZBC on August 31th for 18 days. That means on September 18th you would withdraw it. Normally, your interest would be calculated as:

10,000 USDT * 8% / 365 * 18 = 39.4 USDT

But now, on top of that interest, you would also receive the additional interest from the Bonus Interest Coupons which would be calculated as:

10,000 USDT * 8% / 365 * 100% * 14 = 30.68 USDT

So you’re actual rewards would be about $70, roughly double what you would normally earn! Your actual annualized yield would be the equivalent of around 14.2%.

By completing the simple tasks above, you can double what you would normally earn from staking ZBC after the event ends! You also be part of the Nautilus community, helping redefine the boundaries of crypto by building modular, L3 blockchain technology.

1. The Quantity Bonus
2. The Transaction Bonus
3. The Zepoch Node Bonus

Start Now: https://www.zbcstaking.com/staking?code=SNWPPFRF

User Guide & FAQ: https://docs.zbcstaking.com/

🏆How does the campaign work?

To participate, simply stake at least 10 ZBC in one of the given packages. There are three different packages you can choose from, divided by how long you decide to stake:

• 18 days
• 88 days
• 188 days
• 888 days

The longer you choose to stake, the more rewards you will earn, and all rewards will be sent to the wallet address you used to stake.

🎉 Stake-a-thon Highlights

Flexibility: You can choose how long or short a staking period you want.

Profitability: Deep reward pools mean you can earn amazing yield — especially as you stake more!

Community: Not only will earn token rewards, but you’ll also become part of the Nautilus community, pioneering cutting-edge crypto technology.

Regular Reward Rates:

Regular staking on Zebec’s Staking platform is already extremely reumnerative. Unlike many other staking platforms, we offer preset packages to make staking simple. The longer you stake, the more you will earn:

Select which ever package best suits your needs.

However, as a part of this Stake-A-Thon, you can earn BONUS rewards based on referrals, the amount of ZBC you stake, the on-chain transactions you bring to the ecosystem, and the number of Zepoch Node NFTs you hold. Details below!

Referral Rewards

Burn $18 worth of ZBC to enjoy referral rewards. Here are the rewards you can earn from referring others to stake ZBC when they use your referral code (Be aware that the rewards are based on the yield amount, not the principal):

• 0.08% of the yield from all referrals whose newly staked ZBC value is equal to or greater than $888 worth of ZBC staked.
• 0.8% of the yield from all referrals whose newly staked ZBC value is equal to or greater than $8,888 worth of ZBC staked.
• 8.8% of the yield from all referrals whose newly staked ZBC value is equal to or greater than $88,888 worth of ZBC staked.

The Quantity Bonus

If you stake above certain amounts, you can earn bonus yields. Here are the bonuses based on how much you have staked:

• $888 to $8,888 worth of ZBC = 0.88% extra yield percentage
• $8,888 to $88,888 worth of ZBC = 8.88% extra yield percentage
• $88,888 or more worth of ZBC = 28.88% extra yield percentage

The On-Chain Transactions Bonus

Using your wallet to complete a certain number of transactions will also increase the amount of yield earned by the tokens staked by that wallet. Here is a breakdown of the transaction count bonus:

• Over 88 transactions = 0.088% extra yield percentage
• Over 888 transactions = 0.88% extra yield percentage
• Over 8,888 transactions = 8.88% extra yield percentage
• Over 88,888 transactions = 88.88% extra yield percentage
• Over 188,888 transactions = 100% extra yield percentage

The Zepoch Node Bonus

As always, Zepoch Node holders will earn special rewards. Here’s how their bonus breaks down:

• 1 Zepoch earns 0.88% extra yield on your stake
• 15 or more Zepoch earns 8.88% extra yield on your stake
• 50 or more Zepochs earn 100% extra yield on your stake

Note: When users stake, the real-time price of $ZBC is recorded. When withdrawing at the end of the staking period, rewards will be calculated based on the $ZBC/USDT price at staking and withdrawal. Rewards are calculated using simple interest, not compound interest, and any additional bonus rewards are based on the yield, not the principal.

The Zepoch Referral Bonus

Referring other Zepoch node holders is another great way to boost the rewards you can earn in this Stake-a-Thon. The reward structure is the same, but based off the number of Zepoch’s they hold, instead of you. So if they hold:

• 1 Zepoch, you earn 0.88% extra yield on your stake
• 15 or more Zepoch earns you 8.88% extra yield on your stake
• 50 or more Zepochs earns you 100% extra yield on your stake

Profit Burning Penalty for Early Withdraw:

When you stake, you can choose to stake for 18, 88, 188, or 888 days. However, whichever term you select, withdrawing early will incur a penalty equal to 88% of the yield have earned so far. Depending on how much yield has accrued, the penalty may result in the principal being slightly reduced. For example:

User A stakes 1000 ZBC with an annual yield of 18% for 88 days, which is approximately 0.05% daily. If User A chooses to withdraw on day 60, they will have earned ~30 ZBC:

1000 * 0.05% * 60 = 30 ZBC in interest.

The original total yield for this package would have been 44 ZBC:

1000 * 0.05% * 88 = 44 ZBC.

The early withdrawal penalty, in this case, would be 38.72 ZBC because 44 * 88% = 38.72 ZBC. That means the user will receive only 991.28 ZBC back:

1000 ZBC principal + 30 ZBC interest — 38.72 ZBC = 991.28 ZBC

All deducted ZBC will be burned.

Unclaimed Rewards? Watch Out for the Custody Fee!

If rewards are not claimed promptly upon the expiration of the staking package, a custody fee will be imposed. Starting from 24 hours after the package expiration, a fee equivalent to 1.88% of the principal will be charged every 24 hours.

Stake, Earn, and Build!

The rewards in the ZBC Stake-a-thon can hugely increase the value of your holdings. By participating, you will also be part of the Nautilus community, helping redefine the boundaries of crypto by building modular, L3 blockchain technology!

After nearly a year of innovation, hard work, and community building, we are thrilled to announce Nautilus Chain has launched on mainnet! Nautilus is an L3 chain featuring a modular architecture that allows developers to tailor the execution, settlement, and data availability layers according to their needs

One Giant Leap for Web3

Payments are a natural case for crypto, and yet few real-world businesses use it despite being borderless, decentralized, and often more efficient. The main reason for the lack of adoption has been the lack of scalability, speed, and compliance tools.

Nautilus changes all of this. We are taking blockchain to the next level, a level that is finally capable of merging Web2 and Web3.

Developed to facilitate Zebec’s instant payment streaming at scale, Nautilus opens the door to all new use cases and applications. It goes a step further than instant payments from systems like FedNow. With its real-time payment infrastructure, Nautilus can not only provide new global payment infrastructure, but it can provide payment services that have never existed before.

“Zebec is helping to create a future where money is able to move more freely, giving individuals, businesses, investors, and teams faster and easier access to funds and tokens,” said Sam Thapaliya, Founder of Zebec. “The launch of Nautilus on mainnet is another breakthrough on the path towards this vision.”

Why Modular?

With Nautilus Chain, Zebec pioneers modular blockchain architecture to support real-time payments (or “payment streaming”) dApp. Zebec allowed businesses to pay employees and partners in real-time in a tax-compliant way.

Originally built on traditional monolithic chains, their limitations quickly became apparent. Networks were either too slow or too unreliable to keep up with demand. To solve the issue, Zebec Labs created Nautilus.

Nautilus’ modular architecture offers developers many benefits besides scalability. A huge upside is the flexibility it gives developers to configure the “chain stack” for their dApps. Because it uses interchangeable modules for consensus, data availability, settlement, and execution, each layer can be configured to developer needs. For example, at the execution layer, customized rollups can be deployed that optimize for privacy or scalability, or decentralization — whatever is required by the dApp.

Modular chains allow for infinite horizontal scaling and greater levels of interoperability. Since developers build from the same pool of modules, code is safer, more battle-tested, and easier to connect. More rollups and parallel chains can be deployed to increase block space and throughput effectively.

How Nautilus Chain Works

At launch, Nautilus’ settlement layer is built using Solana’s VM, MOVE, and its execution layer on Neon EVM using Solidity smart contracts. Data availability is stored off-chain using Celestia. Nautilus’ initial default execution layer will use optimistic rollups, but the team plans to transition to zkRollups for faster settlements, privacy, and even higher levels of scalability.

Nautilus is built with Celestia and Eclipse, two projects that empower projects to build modular chains. Through Celesita, Nautilus allows projects to tailor their consensus and settlement layers. Eclipse allows builders on Nautilus to deploy customized rollups on their execution layer.

The result is a chain as secure as Ethereum but which is vastly more scalable. According to its engineers, Nautilus has been tested up to 3,000 TPS, but the team expects the number to increase with the transition to zkRollups. By having such a high TPS, Nautilus Chain provides a platform that can keep up with the demands of the real world, opening the door to decentralized markets for financial instruments and assets, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and tokenized real-world assets.

New Use Cases Enabled by Nautilus

Payment streaming, first pioneered by Zebec and enabled at scale by Nautilus, is a novel kind of payment solution not previously possible.

Payment streaming, or real-time continuous settlement transactions, allows businesses and individuals alike to better leverage the time-value of money. Instead of waiting till the end of the pay period or even weeks after it to receive a paycheck, employees can get paid as they work. This is a great incentive that can help employers retain key team members in competitive labor markets.

Payment streaming has also been suggested as a way to eliminate predatory payday loans. A worker no longer needs to sign a highly disadvantageous contract when short on cash; they can get their money right away. It also opens the door to pay-as-you-go payment plans for streaming services, Ubers, gyms, residential club memberships, and more.

Whole new business models are now possible, thanks to Nautilus.

Built for Real-world adoption

Nautilus Chain can do more than just payments. The goal isn’t merely to provide more efficient payment services but rather to onboard millions of new users to Web3.

“Zebec’s progress with Nautilus Chain’s development has a potential to bridge the gap between traditional finance and web2 payroll applications and the emerging web3 ecosystem,” said Steve Chen, Head of Blockchain Development for Nautilus. The goal is to create a platform that can act as global payment infrastructure on decentralized rails.

With over 70 projects deploying on Nautilus, including Coral Finance, Witnet, PoseiSwap, Coinflow Labs, DBOE, and over 40 million transactions on its testnet, Nautilus is launching with a basic ecosystem already in place.

Nautilus isn’t just recreating existing utility on decentralized rails. It’s creating a whole new financial paradigm. As Zebec continues to innovate and expand its ecosystem, it invites developers, companies, and projects from around the world to join it in creating a more connected, efficient, and accessible financial future on Nautilus Chain.

In the last couple of weeks, the Nautilus ecosystem and Zebec community have been abuzz on a critical question: should Nautilus have its own token or use wrapped ZBC?

This question is key to the Nautilus ecosystem, and the community will make the final decision. Zebec is merely a contributor to Nautilus and can’t make the decision unilaterally. As a decentralized blockchain community, Nautilus Chain members will ultimately get to vote on what they think will be best for everyone.

Already discussions and debates have taken place on community channels. Once there has been enough time to allow for deep economic analyses and genuine discussion and exploration, a vote will be held on Zebec DAO’s governance platform.

A Key Concern

No matter what, it is advised that there always be some kind of connection or equivalence between $ZBC and $NAUT. The reason being that ZBC plays — and will continue to play — an essential role in many people’s paychecks and lives.

ZBC isn’t just another token that goes up and down like Bitcoin. It serves as a payment token for real-time payments, and many people depend on ZBC for their paychecks. It wouldn’t be fair to the Zebec community, who supported Nautilus from the beginning, to suffer a significant price shock due to the launch of NAUT on Nautilus Chain.

That being said, it may still be a good thing for Zebec and especially for Nautilus to have its own community token. To facilitate discussion and ensure the voters are well-informed, here’s an initial look at the pros and cons of launching NAUT.

The Pros

Liquid Staking: One benefit of a NAUT token is it would allow for liquid staking. Liquid staking enables users to keep their staked tokens liquid through the use of staking derivatives. It is an increasingly popular solution, and it is estimated that around 30% of all staked ETH is now on Lido Protocol as liquid-staked ETH.

Having liquid staking would greatly benefit the Nautilus ecosystem, encouraging more members to join, increasing security, and making it easier to participate in new ecosystem dApps.

Growth Potential: Some community members have pointed out the possibility of $NAUT mirroring the success of Arbitrum’s token. Like Arbitrum and Optimism, Nautilus focuses on rollups and modularity and is a powerful scaling solution. Because of its cutting-edge technology, Nautilus attracts many practical dApps. If Nautilus launched NAUT, the token could perform well in the market and benefit early holders.

Security: Having a native token is more secure than relying on a wrapped token (like wrapped ZBC). Wrapping a token introduces bridging and an extra level of complexity which may make the network more vulnerable.

The Cons

Keeping ZBC Relevant: As stated before, while launching NAUT, it would be essential to ensure that ZBC didn’t suffer in terms of price action. Launching NAUT has raised questions among some about the current value and future relevance of ZBC. Future discussion is necessary to tease out the issue, enumerate the use cases of ZBC, and reinforce its importance within the ecosystem.

Zepoch Node Rewards: There is also a concern regarding the impact a NAUT token would have on Zepoch Node NFT rewards. Though it would most likely end up benefiting Zepoch holders, it is vital to elaborate on what kind of incentive structure NAUT could offer holders and to clarify any potential misunderstanding and alleviate any fears.

Keep Talking

It’s important for a decentralized community like Zebec and Nautilus to always discuss key changes to the ecosystem like this.

Nautilus is getting ready to launch on mainnet, and already there are all kinds of projects lining up: DEXs, staking protocols, lending and borrowing projects, payment dApps, and more are all coming to Nautilus, according to the latest video update from Zebec founder Sam Thapaliya. No matter what, there will be a dedicated and thriving community on Nautilus.

We encourage the current debate to continue, and we want to invite everyone to keep the best interests of the Nautilus ecosystem as a whole, past and future, in mind as they discuss the topic.
