April was a exciting month for Zeebu, from protocol milestones and airdrop conclusion to global stage appearances and new infrastructure partnerships. With over $7.5B+ in settlements processed and 140+ institutions now using the Zeebu ecosystem, we’re proving that real-world application of blockchain is not just a concept, it’s a working engine, built for scale.
Let’s dive into what made this month one for the books:
Network Milestones
April concluded with a notable uptick in both network participation and transaction throughput, underscoring Zeebu’s growing institutional footprint.
As of April 30, 2025, the Zeebu ecosystem recorded the following cumulative metrics:
- $7.5 billion+ in total volume settled
- 140 active institutions
- 113,991 invoices processed and settled since inception
- $79.06 million in total revenue generated through protocol activity
The network continues to show signs of deepening engagement, particularly among high-volume institutional participants, laying the groundwork for broader ecosystem utility.
Leaderboard Recognition
We spent another week at the top, Zeebu was listed as a top high-yield asset on BNB Chain:
- 46.52% APY
- $19.91M in TVL
Real yield > speculative hype.
Culture Corner
We even tapped into the Ghibli trend—because yes, Miyazaki would be proud we’re reducing telecom fees from 5% to 2%. And we do it while looking cool.
Airdrop Season 1: Closure
Zeebu officially concluded Season 1 of its airdrop program on April 10, 2025, marking the end of a highly active campaign that started with the protocol’s waitlist launch in March 2024.
- Over 60,000 participants engaged with the campaign.
- A total of 3.91 trillion Zeebu Impact Points (ZIP) were farmed across all tiers.
- Post-sybil filtering, 39,900 verified users became eligible to claim airdrops.
The Blue, Silver, and Gold tiers are now fully distributed and available to claim.
- 8,685 users successfully claimed their airdrop
- A total of 69,961.97 ZBU has been distributed to verified addresses
The Platinum Tier distribution, aligned with long-term governance participation, will follow a structured release:
- Cliff Period: 6 months
- Vesting Schedule: 12 months post-cliff
Additionally, to ensure equitable distribution and discourage speculative dumping, the final airdrop value per recipient is capped at 20% of the user’s invested capital.
Looking ahead, Season 2 is in development and will include expanded DeFi quests, deeper protocol engagement mechanics, and broader community participation initiatives. Stay tuned for campaign updates and a new era of ecosystem rewards.
Event Participation
April was a milestone month for Zeebu’s visibility and thought leadership in the blockchain and telecom domains, with strong representation at two high-profile industry events: Staking Summit Dubai and DNA House at TOKEN2049.
Staking Summit Dubai 2025
At Staking Summit Dubai 2025, Zeebu participated as a Platinum Sponsor, reinforcing our commitment to advancing decentralized financial infrastructure. The team was actively engaged in the main conference, showcasing Zeebu’s vision for real-world yield and institutional-grade staking solutions.
A key highlight was the technical workshop titled “The On-Chain Clearing House: The Engine Powering Zeebu Protocol”, joined by our partners at Valuit. This session offered an in-depth look at the core mechanics of Zeebu’s on-chain settlement architecture, sparking valuable discussions with developers, validators, and institutional participants. The workshop exemplified our focus on transparency, education, and protocol-level innovation.
The summit also featured keynote address delivered by Keshav Pandya, COO & Co-founder of Zeebu, titled “DeFi Beyond Staking”, the session explored the future of sustainable real-world yield, the evolution of staking, and how Zeebu is transforming institutional telecom settlements into programmable, composable financial primitives.
DNA House during TOKEN2049 Dubai
Zeebu also marked its presence at DNA House during TOKEN2049 Dubai, one of the most anticipated gatherings of the year for Web3 and crypto leaders. The two-day event hosted at the iconic Gigi Rigolatto, was designed to foster meaningful dialogue, curated networking, and high-impact ecosystem connections across the global blockchain landscape.
Our team also joined the Day 1’s marquee panel, “Tokenization: Unlocking the Value of Real-World Assets,” the Zeebu team contributed insights on how blockchain can unlock institutional capital efficiency, particularly in legacy sectors like telecom.
The event served as a dynamic platform to connect with investors, builders, and ecosystem partners, amplifying our message and establishing new strategic relationships across verticals.
Ecosystem Partnerships
In April, Zeebu expanded its ecosystem through two strategic integrations designed to improve accessibility and enhance the user experience across its global settlement platform.
Zeebu x Snowball Money
We partnered with Snowball Money to integrate Snowball MNS, enabling telecom carriers and institutions to transact using human-readable identities. The collaboration introduces a layer of trustless, cross-chain functionality to Zeebu’s infrastructure, simplifying the experience for users without compromising on security. Additionally, Snowball’s AI-powered transaction routing adds intelligence to payment flows, aligning with Zeebu’s broader mission to build intuitive, enterprise-grade financial systems on-chain.
Zeebu x Alchemy Pay
Furthering our commitment to frictionless access, ZBU went live on Alchemy Pay, one of the industry’s leading fiat on-ramp providers. With this integration, users can now purchase ZBU tokens instantly using Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and other widely accepted payment methods across more than 170 countries. The addition of Alchemy Pay significantly lowers the barrier to entry, making Zeebu’s ecosystem more accessible to global participants, including telecom institutions looking to streamline settlement onboarding.
These partnerships reflect Zeebu’s continued focus on delivering not just the infrastructure for blockchain-based B2B settlements, but also the tools and user experiences necessary to drive global adoption.
Looking Ahead
As we enter Q2 with strong protocol traction and deepening adoption across the telecom settlement layer, the coming months will focus on:
- Expanding the On-Chain Clearing House (OCH) network
- Advancing integrations with blockchain partners
- Season 2 of Zeebu Airdrop
Zeebu is continuing to lay the foundation for real-world financial transformation.
Stay tuned for more updates in May.
