Why Stake Original KZEN Token?
Kaizen.Finance always listens to the community’s suggestions for improvement and adjusts its rewards and bonuses system accordingly. In this manner, we elaborate innovative mechanisms that allow investors to get the most out of the assets they own.
Certainly, one of such methods is staking.
The most compelling advantages of staking at Kaizen are additional income derived from interest, the holding of Kaizen Tiers, and the lavish benefits of LP-staking.
Tip. Learn more about these and other staking benefits as well as why now, the time before the listing, is the most advantageous to make a stake in the

Not only does staking stand as a potentially lucrative way to invest, but it also allows you to earn more cryptocurrency based on the interest rate for the staking period: Kaizen’s flexible and generous interest rates let you earn 25% per year.
So do not miss out on the perfect opportunity to stake your original KZEN tokens instantly after the claim and ensure yourself a high and steady income for the next few months.
