🧬 Zootosis: The DeFi Evolution Powered by Mitosis and Morph

In the fast-paced world of decentralized finance, many campaigns promise innovation — but few deliver real change. Zootosis is not just another DeFi rewards campaign. It’s an ecosystem-scale event that combines cutting-edge technology, gamified mechanics, and meaningful incentives to reshape how users interact with liquidity and rewards.

🔍 What is Zootosis?

Zootosis is a liquidity mining campaign launched by Mitosis in partnership with Morph, a Layer 2 blockchain. The goal is to drive sustainable liquidity into DeFi using a novel concept: Matrix Vaults. These are smart contract vaults where users deposit crypto assets and receive rewards in the form of Zoots Points — a mechanism to earn allocation in both the Mitosis and Morph token ecosystems.

Zootosis rewards long-term participation and introduces gamification to attract a committed DeFi user base.

How Does It Work?

1. Deposit → Receive maAssets

Users can deposit supported tokens like WETH, USDC, USDT, WBTC into Matrix Vaults. In return, they receive a tokenized receipt called maAsset (e.g., maUSDC), which follows the ERC-4626 standard and can be used across the Morph ecosystem.

2. Earn Zoots Over Time

Once the deposit is made, users automatically start earning Zoots Points, which determine their future token allocations. Factors that influence your Zoots accumulation:

• The amount deposited
• Type of asset (some receive multipliers)
• Duration of deposit (the longer, the better)
• Bonus mechanics (NFT ownership, early participation, etc.)

3. Early Withdrawal = Penalty

Users are free to withdraw at any time, but withdrawing before 270 days will result in a partial loss of Zoots Points (up to 90% if exiting within 7 days). The base yield remains intact, but token allocation potential is reduced.

Extra multipliers:

• Morse NFT Holder: Users who have at least 1 Morse NFT in their wallet
• Morphies NFT Holder: Users who have at least 1 Morphies NFT in their wallet
• Expedition Member: Users whose Mitosis Expedition Tier is not lower than Platinum or Diamond in any of the expeditions (i.e. it is enough to reach Platinum Tier in one of the weETH, weETHs, uniETH, ezETH, uniBTC or cmETH expeditions).
• maweETH (Theo) Holder (Theo): Users who have at least 1 maweETH (Theo) across all supported networks
• Early adopter: Users who have made at least one successful Zootosis deposit transaction (for any amount of any supported assets) before 16 May at 16:00 UTC

Why Is Zootosis Different?

Real Gamification

Instead of rewarding only large whales or short-term farmers, Zootosis emphasizes long-term alignment through multiplier boosts and NFT rewards.

DAO-Driven Evolution

Zootosis isn't static. Users will help vote on new supported assets, including a rotating Wildcard Asset chosen by the community, ensuring dynamic campaign growth.

What Makes Morph Ideal?

Morph is a next-gen Layer 2 network built on Ethereum, combining Optimistic and zk-rollup technologies. Key features include:

• Fast, low-cost transactions
• zk-proof security
• EVM compatibility for seamless smart contract deployment
• Decentralized sequencer network, promoting fairness and transparency

Morph’s scalability and user-friendly environment make it perfect for DeFi campaigns like Zootosis.
