# $ZKML Utility
* **π₯ Value Loop: Revenue-Backed Buy & Burn**
At zKML, weβve designed a system where **product growth directly benefits our token holders**.
A portion of the revenue generated across our ecosystem is **strategically allocated to buy back $ZKML tokens from the market**.\
These tokens are then **permanently burned**, reducing total supply and creating a powerful **deflationary effect**.
This mechanism isnβt theoretical β itβs active.\
As our user base grows and revenue scales, so does the pressure on supply β tightly aligning product usage with long-term token value.
#### πΈ Revenue Sources Fueling the Burn:
* π¦ **Zebra Ads** β In-app native placements
* π **zkSearch Ads** β Keyword-based privacy-respecting ads
* π **ZWAP Fees** β Swap execution fees on supported tokens
* **Fee Reduction on** [**Zwap**](/zkml/products/zwap.md) **V1 β Up to 100%**\
Token holders benefit directly through significant fee reductions on Zwap, our platform for seamless transactions and swaps. Depending on your token holdings, you can enjoy fee reductions ranging from 50% to 100%, effectively making your swaps free ( find our more [here](https://zkml-1.gitbook.io/zkml/products/zwap#fees-breakdown-and-usdzkml-holders-discount)). This utility incentivizes active use of the token and provides tangible savings for our community.
* **Zebra AI API Access** β Usage-based revenue from our privacy-first AI API
**Future Utilities to Be Introduced**\
Our token's utility will continue to expand as our ecosystem grows. We are committed to innovating and introducing new ways for holders to benefit from their investment. Stay tuned for updates as we roll out more features and use cases that integrate the token into our platform and beyond\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://zkml.gitbook.io/zkml/overview/usdzkml-utility.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
