## **What Is eKZEN?**
As you know, Kaizen.Finance is a platform that offers a suite of features and services for token creation and management. One of Kaizen’s stand out benefits is the ability to trade locked tokens through the use of collateralized tokens.
However, collateralized token is more of an umbrella term used to describe the technology. For simplicity’s sake, Kaizen’s tokens that use this technology are referred to as KZEN locked tokens.
KZEN locked tokens distributed to Kaizen's community sale participants are called **eKZEN**.
$eKZEN are separate tokens and therefore they can be staked. If eKZEN tokens change hands, the claim to KZEN tokens is transferred with them. Instead of holding KZEN tokens back after the purchase and only distributing them to you in portions when they unlock, eKZEN tokens are sent to you immediately after the sale, ensuring you will get your KZEN tokens in due time.
Staking of eKZEN tokens unlocks access to benefits exclusive to KZEN locked tokens. So you should probably consider holding on to eKZEN tokens to get all benefits instead of unlocking KZEN.
