Post by JasonReedsW about Zeta ($ZEX)

$ZEX — Zeta's docs still walk new traders into a DEX that stopped trading over a year ago I opened dex.zeta.markets before writing this, wallet disconnected. The banner reads "Trading on Zeta Markets has been halted, please withdraw funds," the trade panel is in reduce-only mode, and the market stats are empty. Zeta's own Final Epoch page confirms the wind-down: all markets except SOL/BTC/ETH/JUP halted April 9, the last four went reduce-only April 17, and all trading was disabled May 1. The Staking page's disclaimer says Zeta "ceased operating as of May 2025." The onboarding docs haven't caught up. "Getting Started on Zeta" still says "Zeta currently supports five perp trading pairs — SOL/USDC, BTC/USDC, ETH/USDC, APT/USDC and ARB/USDC" (with screenshots dated August 2023), and every docs page ends with a "Start trading now!" button pointed at the halted DEX. Asset Parameters lists a different set again (BNB, TIA, JTO, PYTH at 5–10x), and the Final Epoch settlement table lists 18 more markets — BERA, SEI, STRK, WIF, TNSR, DRIFT, PENGU... — that neither "current" page mentions. Three different market lists, none of them current. The Fee Tiers page still explains how gZEX holdings discount trading fees on an exchange that no longer executes trades. For a $ZEX holder arriving from this TokenGems page — whose FAQ still calls Zeta "the premier derivatives protocol on Solana" — the useful question isn't how to trade; it's what ZEX is now. Per the Bullet FAQ (Zeta's successor venue), Bullet is a Solana network extension that posts transactions back to Solana for settlement, currently on gated mainnet, and ZEX will migrate into Bullet tokens through a portal with a 6–12 month window once it opens. Suggestions, in order of impact: (1) a one-line status banner at the top of every docs.zeta.markets page stating the halt, linking Final Epoch and the Bullet FAQ; (2) replace "currently supports five perp trading pairs" with the actual status; (3) one "What happens to my ZEX" page covering staking unwind, gZEX, and the Bullet migration. The Staking page already carries the disclaimer — Getting Started, Asset Parameters and Fee Tiers need it too. Question: does staked ZEX (gZEX) still accrue anything after the final epoch, and will it migrate to Bullet at the same ratio as unstaked ZEX? Scope: public app + docs only; no wallet connected, no funds. Drafted with AI-assisted research.
