# ANZ Token

*ANZ is the utility token for Anzen Finance. It is currently deployed on Base chain only.*\
*See ANZ on Coingecko:* [*https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/anzen-finance*](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/anzen-finance)

ANZ is designed to provide utility and align incentives within the USDz ecosystem. It employs a vote-escrowed (ve) model, inspired by mechanisms in DeFi protocols like Curve and Pendle, where locked tokens can share protocol revenue and govern the allocation of token rewards and liquidity incentives.

Beyond governance, veANZ holders may also have exclusive access to certain protocol features and products.
