To be eligible for Zedkr stock airdrops, you must hold at least 10,000 ZED in an externally owned account, also known as an EOA wallet.
Cash-out activity by itself does not make you eligible. Eligibility is based on the amount of ZED held in your qualifying EOA wallet.

Do I need to hold more than 10,000 ZED?
No. The minimum requirement is 10,000 ZED.

Holding more than the minimum does not guarantee a particular stock, reward value or distribution date.

Does every cash-out make me eligible?
No. Completing a cash-out does not automatically make you eligible for a stock airdrop.
To meet the Zedkr eligibility requirement, your qualifying EOA wallet must hold at least 10,000 ZED.
Your cash-out amount, protocol fee and number of completed cash-outs do not replace the token-holding requirement.

How can $ZED cashback help me reach the requirement?
Every confirmed cash-out earns $ZED cashback equal to 5% of the protocol fee.
You earn the cashback when you accept the quote and successfully complete Slide to confirm. You do not need to wait for the cash-out to settle.
After you claim the cashback, the ZED is sent directly to your Para wallet. Claimed ZED held in a qualifying EOA wallet can contribute toward the 10,000 ZED eligibility requirement.

How is $ZED cashback calculated?
Your cashback equals 5% of the protocol fee.
The calculation is:
Protocol fee × 5% = $ZED cashback value
For example, a cash-out with a $1 protocol fee earns:
$1 × 5% = $0.05 in $ZED cashback
Cashback is calculated only from the protocol fee. It is not calculated from the Relay fee, Uniswap conversion cost, price impact or token slippage.

Is a stock airdrop calculated from my individual cash-out fee?
No. An individual cash-out fee does not directly determine the stock airdrop you may receive.
The confirmation screen may display:

Does paying a larger fee increase my eligibility?
No. Stock airdrop eligibility is based on your qualifying ZED balance, not the size of an individual protocol fee.
A larger cash-out does not replace the requirement to hold at least 10,000 ZED in an EOA wallet.
A larger fee also does not guarantee:

Do unclaimed rewards count toward the requirement?
$ZED cashback must be claimed before it is sent to your Para wallet.

What happens if my ZED balance falls below 10,000?

Does canceling affect cashback already earned?
No. You keep the $ZED cashback earned when you successfully completed Slide to confirm.
Cashback is awarded at confirmation and does not require the order to settle. Because the protocol fee is not refunded, the related cashback remains available after cancellation.
Canceling a cash-out does not remove ZED that has already been claimed and sent to your wallet.

Do I need additional funds for fees or gas?
You only need to fund your Para wallet with the amount you want to sell.
Applicable fees are deducted from the selected cash-out amount. You do not need to transfer additional funds to pay the protocol, Relay or conversion costs separately.
Zedkr covers the gas required for the Zedkr Cash cash-out transaction.
A transfer from another wallet into your Para wallet is separate. The sending wallet may require its own network fee for that transfer.
